You update with pbsetup.exe?
If so run it several times closing the programme each time between runs, this allows multiple updates to be applied.
Also this from evenbalance
PunkBuster kicks me for INIT FAILURE?

Usually, this message means your PB is not working properly. You should run our PBSetup program to make sure your PB is up to date.
However, we have recently discovered that some broadband routers routinely drop OOB (Out of Band) packets for no apparent reason. Since all PB packets are OOB, these routers can actually block PB's communication (again for no apparent reason). To determine if the router is the cause of this problem for you, remove the router and connect directly to the internet. If you are able to play this way, then the cause is very likely the router.
Based on user feedback, the following router brands/models are reported to have problems. Not necessarily all models of a brand might be affected, and the list is in no way complete but it can give you a few hints. Also, we do not claim that our list below shows the only solution to fix your issue, nor that it will fix it for sure even though it has worked for others. It could very well be that changing some settings in your router could help as well. Contacting the company directly might help you as well.

* Linksys - possible solution: Use firmware 1.44.2
* Motorola - possible solution: Update to latest firmware
* Netgear - possible solution: Disable SPI (statefull packet inspection)

You can't use the login for this site, it must be your login to EA USA if you have one, if not you will need to create one at the game login screen.

Ok that should mean you already have an EA USA account.
Try going to the EA support site or EA USA and logging in. If you get a wrong password then use the forgot password option to get EA to email a password to you.

Nope there should be ZA servers up just a matter of getting the server browser to find them.
I have been doing a full refresh, takes a while, then clicking on the server column heading to sort by name then scrolling down till I recognise a server provider that is in Aus or NZ.
For ZA probably looking for Gamezone or SGS
