Punkbuster

Post by swornenemy »

Is anyone else getting this message and not able to join a server?
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'swornenemy11' (for 0 minutes)
I can play on other servers but of course on my own server I can get in, Murphy's Law I guess...Of all the servers not to be able to connect to!
Any ideas on a solution or one that has worked for anyone?

Yes, this is very common right now. DICE and EvenBalance are investigating and looking for fixes, but in the meantime, there are two things you can try:

* Updating your PB client using the PBSetup utility.
* Setting pb_sv_restrictions to 0 in your server's PB configuration, which will prevent clients from being kicked for violations (this may also allow cheaters to play). To do this while the server is running, type this into the rcon console on your "Server control" page:

Code: Select all

!pb "pb_sv_restrictions 0"
.. it will then work until the server is restarted.

May want to try pb_sv_restart in console also before you make the change.
Heard it has worked for some.

Some of our members also manually updated pb on their computers and were able to connect afterwards.

It is letting me in now, just out of nowhere so I don't have a fix to tell everyone that works. Just luck I guess :)
