The PB problem was actually that the master servers were updated to the newer PB version but everyone who runs a server had to update and reboot their server. People kept getting kicked because of a PB version mismatch. As soon as servers are rebooted the PB disconnect issue will go away.

I don't think that's it. I went to the same server that kicked me with the pb timeout after updating mine. It was probably 5 minutes between tries, and the second time worked perfectly. I kind of doubt they reset and got all the players back in that time

Yeah, I was prompted for the CD-key as well, I didn't even give it second thoughts, it was just "Oh, more problems" and I quit the game.

Yeah, I figured it was server problems again so I quit as well. I hope in the next couple of weeks they do something to fix these issues. :(

Servers went down again ... when I login now it says I am rank 1 and that I need to enter my CD Key again.

WOW. I mean, the times I can play are awesome. But this random disconnection issue/servers going down has to stop.

Same here. I was playing for a good fourty minutes before I got kicked, and now it won't let me log back in. When I tried, sometimes it would give me the "can't connect" message, and sometimes it would ask me to enter my CD Key.

Shame, I was actually in a really good squad. Four people all helping each other in a public server. Can't say I've seen that a whole lot outside of TF2.

And how does it work, maybe it is server issues right now, but I have Veteran Status 1, but does it just update automagically in BFBC2? or you have to do something wonderful?

It should be available to you as soon as you become a level 1 veteran.

The M1 rifle isn't available on every map?

From my understanding, it depends on the server.

I haven't seen the M1 available since Wednesday. I have Veteran status of 4 and the first day had it just fine, all my friends have the same thing. Was available at the start, but has not been available since about Wednesday or so

As far as Sethos comment on the worse game launch in history. America's Army 3 is the absolute worse launch ever. immediately after launch they fired the main dev team. The game was rushed to be released by The Army before it was finished (thats why the devs were fired. they didn't want it released till they got the major bugs fixed The bugs were too many to list. 6 months later some of these bugs still exist. even after the 3.0.7 patch. these problems we are experiencing are minuscule compared to the AA3 launch

Notice how I said in my gaming history, it wasn't an argument I made on behalf of everyone and every game.

Wasnt AA free?

Yes, paid for by the American tax payers.

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉
