I finally got Bad Company 2 for the PC arrive today from Play.com and started the install at 8pm, here we are 2 hours later and we're finally patching!
The first time, it took a long time to install and after the copy of files was complete the installer asks how you wish to activate your product. I chose to activate online with a maximum 10 time install . After selecting this option the installer froze and I had to force the application to close.
I ran the game and it came up with a "paul.dll" (strange DLL name I know) error, but I clicked OK and it logged me into the game. When I logged into Multi player however it said it couldn't authenticate at this time.
It turns out that after the activation online, it installs Punk Buster and it looks like my issues were related to that. So if you get the Paul.DLL error or can't connect, try re-installing to make sure it finishes the process.
Hope to see you on the Battlefield!
Update 1 - I deleted Paul.DLL and it works without that error now, I think it may have been related to Punk Buster.
Update 2 - If you get kicked from servers, try this URL to manually download and update PunkBuster: http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
