An announcement on the PunkBuster system causing abnormal in-game messaging:

Currently PunkBuster is causing some players to receive a lot of in game messaging. We apologize for this inconvenience and ask that you please log out and re-run your patcher. The issue should now be corrected.

There are still several issues that have become apparent after today's patch. Rest assured we're working diligently to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Further information about PunkBuster and its release are below in the "More..." section.

Two things:

1) PunkBuster was not intended to be activated today. We've been testing it internally and we didn't reset that portion it before the version went live. It will no longer automatically activate in this version of the game.

2) Yes, PB will be updated along with our patches, you will not have to go somewhere else to patch it.
