Introduction
As you likely know, Punkbuster is a programs used in many games to prevent cheating and/or to kick out cheaters. Likely when the Punkbuster has a software related error it prevents the user from connecting to game servers. In this tutorial we will ensure that this doesn't happen.

Navigate to this link and download Punkbuster.

Step 2
Extract the file you just downloaded and run the executable. Click "I Agree" and then let the program update

Step 3
Click on "Add Game" and then select the game{s} that you wish to update Punkbuster for. Let it download and update.
