Guys having a new cod problem can u help?

Postby MooDSwinG » Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:48 pm

Only today ive started getting kicked for not having punkbuster a & b running (exe's) i havnt had them running for months now because i didnt know what they did an the game still seemed to run without them pressent and also i like to tidy up my process list ;) dont we all. Now im gettin the trip that something has changed in my pc's setup in some way because i had to set up all my settings for a audio program aswell this morning as if it had only just been installed. This has also led me to start thinkin well isnt that anti cheat software? an should i have it running? do you guys have it running? because i havnt for ages with no problem until now. maybe the servers have started queerying me now i dont know...i can asure u though as you will see from my score that i wasnt cheating before and am now obviously going to have to run the processes. Wierd all i can say really......Anyone got any ideas?


Hit me back :)

U should be able to play cod2 with vista if u run it with admin rights, or something like that. Dont use vista personaly but ive heard discussions about the subject.

Looking forward to our next nightly bolts fight freakb :P

Vista

Postby MooDSwinG » Fri Jul 27, 2007 4:58 pm

Yeh Vista's Dirty just like every microsoft o.s when its first released..I wont be going over to it until its service pack 2, An that will be a torrent aswell Pffftttt hahahahaa.....They got enuf cash everyone in the world in this day in age with a pc should be able to have a stable compatible o.s in my eyes but hey....oh an guys there is one thing that is pulling me towards vista, U heard of crysis? a new f.p.s game about by the makers of far cry. Impresive just really isnt the word....the graphics are photorealistic its jaw dropping stuff trust me...oh yeh forgot to say....to get those jaw dropping graphics you need dx10 which is only available on vista sadly....But im just hopeing someone cracks it for xp because there really is still so much life in xp.....without a doubt, Vista = Money spin.....did u know that the main THING about vista is that it supports ultra large memory configs i.e 16gb ddr3 stuff an yes ddr 3 is around right now as physical ram...Go here an look in there memory section >>> www.overclockers.co.uk (which by the way is one of the best priced pc parts sites that exists....recomend them my stuffs fine) Right im stonned as a melon just got back in from work an mashed sat here writing the bible hahahah....one more point going back to vista :) the whole 16gb ddr3 thing is years away though check the price so u can have high hopes on someone making a dx10 for xp or something along those lines (emulator)maybe? coz like i said plenty of life in x.p.....(wipes forhead) Right im going to go an have a munch now hahhaha......Thats me! :)

Take it easy,...sorry for writing tonage stuff but theres some good little bits of info ^^ there

:) Peace!

Even if they are running your Firewall may be blocking communication withthe pbservers - just a thought

just FYI Vista's firewall sucks :)
disable that firewall get some proper one eg. ZoneLabs or something similar and COD will run ;)

the other thing you should try in Control Panel find "Access Control something" in security settings there is link on the left panel. Set that off also... it will stop bugging you for every thing. At my job we migrated to Vista before couple of days and I can just say it's bloody security hell (to be polite :roll: )

Hope this will help

Jamie, you sure PB's updated on the servers m8?

Do find it odd it's kicking people for having a newer version than the server tho, thought it only kicked if it was the other way around. It may auto-spam a message tru the player claiming the server is running an old PB version, but don't recall these players ever being kicked by PB itself. (Have noticed some server admins doing it themselves, cos they got annoyed by the PB-messages being spammed :P)

To those having problems, perhaps an idea to have a look at PB's webby, http://www.evenbalance.com, and see if you can find an answer on there

/edit
Had a quick looky myself, and see this in the FAQ regarding the server processes:
Are the new components optional?

Starting with PB Client version 1.700, the new components are required. Uninstalling and/or disabling the new components will cause PunkBuster to stop working correctly and will cause frequent kicking from PunkBuster enabled servers.


Note that this is indeed one of the newest versions of the PB Client, so it appears that your problems have indeed started the moment your PB updated to that (or even a higher) version

Punkbuster is running the latest version, and has been scince Wednesday morning.

I have heard other people with problems with the punkbuster processes (PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe) both of these .exe's need to be running and access to the net.

If they are showing up in your task manager processes list, i would try disabling any firewall you have, you could also delete the containts of the pb folder and use the program from evenbalance to re-setup punkbuster.

Sorry for late reply, I have been working a bit of overtime to get some money for pc upgrade.

Let me know how you get on.

1) Check that you have allowed both pnkbstra.exe and pnkbstrb.exe (all dont have this one) trough your firewall. And check that they both are set automatic list on services panel(services.msc). Check that the pb definition files are up2date by this tool http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads ... bsetup.exe

2)If the services arent on services list use this tool to manually install them http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

3)If it still it doesnt work use the tool above to manually uninstall them. Remove Call of Duty\pb folder and the Pnkbnstr* files in Windows\System32 folder. Reboot. And update your Punkbuster with PBsetup.exe or manually. And check that the pnbkstr* services are running.

But i was testing it a bit and on one server i was kicked because of that :shock:
So i can say this is potential security risk in one hand and the other thing PB server will eventualy kick the player from server if those services aren't running.

For those concerned about security risk.... if you are installing PB client be sure to grab setup from official PB site ;)
This goes for any other app u use for gaming: xfire, ASE etc.

I doubt theres any security risks with unofficial stuff such as updates. Xfire updates itself so theres no risk for "unofficial" update. ASE been dead a long time so think there aint security risks either. Also updating pb from somewhere else than Punkbuster site or using PBsetup.exe sounds odd to me.

Think if the services must be running while gaming are dependant if the server is it cracked, linux or windows server etc. Also some servers have different cvars etc. Also your own hardware might be affecting it.

I havent been kicked for this yet but ive been experiencing wierd lag on some servers since the pb update. This doesnt apply on all servers tho and I dont really know why its only happening on some servers.

Yeah it's odd but some don't have much experiance in computers and don't pay attention on that... that was just a tought for the other to keep in mind ;)
