Punkbuster runs as a service now, and both PnkBstrA.EXE and PnkBstrB.exe need full internet access rights. One of them "A", I think, has to constantly update itself while "B" does not. Each game has a different version of "A" and if you don't let "A" get through your firewall you will have a version mismatch at the server and get booted after the timeout period. Not to mention, even if you properly configure your internet firewall settings to allow A+B traffic, the changed executable will be flagged as a different program the next time you download a different version, which happens with no notification, which could boot you again! You could go to evenbalance.com and download the stand-alone version of the Punkbuster program, which has a front end that shows you the status of all punkbuster enabled games (and there are many) and the current and different versions for each one. Plus an update feature that happens before you load the game in question, useful for troubleshooting. Lastly, some versions of "A" or "B" are just plain broken, and/or out of sync with the server you are trying to join, so you will never get in until you both get new and matching versions that work, which you have no control over. Does punkbuster even work? Is it all worth it? Hard to say, I see it as effective as "The Club" in stopping car thieves. |

punkbuster init kick problems
I have run all those punkbuster installers and nothing worked I even
reinstalled the game. Its the new Fear expansion pack (P.M.) gives me corrupt or mismatched client files and I get kicked from pk servers. If I try to join them. Annoying. 8800gt follow up alert, I should probably keep my 7900 gtx oc for a while longer. "Man-wai Chang ToDie" wrote in message ...

Sounds a little bit the security risk. Think I'd want to build a stand alone box just for gaming that won't matter if it gets corrupted to hell and back. |
