Punkbuster issues and config

Post by BizSAR »

I'm hearing a lot of folks are having issues with Punkbuster as of late.

We'd like to disable PB for now, yet maintain our 'Ranked' status. I see this is possible, even for official servers. However, in the NFO control panel the setting seems locked while we're set to Ranked. Can we still make the change in startup.txt and have it work?

This is actually not possible. Punkbuster is required to be on for Ranked/Official servers.

I had thought so too, but then there's this list of servers that are ranked and have PB off, so it does in fact seem possible.

This is why I was asking. :)

That would represent a game bug in that case as ranked/official servers owners should not be able to disable that function.
