    Unhappy Far Cry multiplayer problem

    Right, when I play a multiplayer game on the internet, after about five minutes of playing I keep getting kicked off whatever map i'm playing on. It then instantly restarts the map again and lets me play for another five minutes???? I have installed the latest patch and am running zonealarm firewall. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Make sure you have the PunkBuster box ticked.

    Sorted, It was bloody Zonealarm kicking in. Once I disabled it, it works fine. Just being on the net without is a tad dodgy methinks.

    I told zonealarm to allow far cry to access the net, but like i said it keeps kickin in every 5 minutes for some stupid reason. I went on far cry forums and it appears to be a common problem for loads of people.

    Get yourselves decent hardware firewalls. These crappy programs norton/zonealarm are aimed at people who only use MS Office and dont know of anything better...

    Wheres the far cry forums?

    Far cry uses punkbuster then? Hopefully there will never be any cheating like cs, it really spoiled multiplayer cs.
