Manually updating Punkbuster *recommended*

For players that are having problems with not being able to connect, you probably want to take a look at this post.
To Manually update your local PunkBuster Security Files, choose "Save As" from your Web Browser's "File" Menu and explore to find your game folder and the subfolder called "pb".

Save this file in that location (/pb/pbsec.htm or /pb/pbsecsv.htm). The next time you start your game, your PunkBuster will have the latest security information necessary to accept auto-updates from PB Servers.

Did about all 'fixes' including this one that i could find on the forums, nothing works. Played for about 2 hours this morning, crashed after that and havnt been able to enter a game ever since.
