Getting Kicked by PunkBuster ???

[Cain]

Are you getting kicked, particularly here at Cain's and cannot figure out why ???

First, manually update your PunkBuster Files, and then allow any PB services on your PC to run as a service and to run Automatically....

Read this --> http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Second, read this message about the PunkBuster Windows Services...

http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php

That link includes a little downloadable program to set up the PB Services on your PC properly.

===============

What is all this about new PunkBuster services?

Beginning with PunkBuster client version 1.500, we have extended the PunkBuster Anti-Cheat system to operate without the requirement to run PunkBuster supported games with Administrator privileges when running under Windows 2000, XP, or Vista. In order to do this, we have developed new Windows service components to work with the PunkBuster system. PunkBuster will automatically begin using the new service components on supported systems. To manually install/uninstall the components, users may use our PBSVC Setup Program. However, uninstalling the new service components will disable PunkBuster and may prevent playing on PunkBuster servers. PBSVC can be downloaded from HERE. Once the PnkBstrA service is running along with a new PB client version 1.500 and higher, running PB enabled games under Windows 2000, XP or Vista no longer requires Administrator privileges.

================

I am seeing a TON of players kicked because they do not have the Punkbuster Service running on their PC....

If you are getting the "RESTRICTION: Invalid Memory Image (90005)" kick, read this thread.

======

The 'RESTRICTION: Invalid Memory Image (90005)' kick is/was a Punkbuster issue and was not related to any cheats.
It's a bug in the auto-update feature of PB.

If you have experienced this kick before then follow the following steps.

1. Delete the ?PB? directory located in your game?s root directory
2. Download this file http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
3. Run the downloaded file pbsvc.exe
4. Download this file http://websec.evenbalance.com/downlo...ws/pbsetup.exe
5. Run the downloaded file pbsetup.exe to update your game to the latest version of Punkbuster

If that does not work for the Invalid Memory kick, try this:

heres your fix for this problem.

This kick is caused by a rootkit application running while playing on PunkBuster enabled servers. The name of the file is called oreans32.sys and it is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\ of your computer. Deleting that file and rebooting will allow you to play again. You may need to disable system restore if the file keeps returning.

Memory Image Problem? Whats that? I thought that I fixed this problem with the help of SAS Limey, but IDK whats going on. It doesn't happen right away, it happens after one or two rounds then I get kicked. When it said the message, it also had a number next to it in (). I don't remeber the number but I think that it was like 90003 or something. I already ran through the steps of uninstalling PB, reinstalling PB, and updating PB, and I also made sure that the PB services were on automatic and were started. I am going to try to get back on the game, to see if I get kicked again. So lets hope for the best because I would really rather not have to uninstall the game.

Is PB service B also suppose to be running? It is set to automatic, but never seems to run by itself?

[TheSilentAssassin]

Nope, did not work. Got kicked again because of an Invalid Memory Image (90003). I don't know what that is, I don't know what is causing it, my firewall is allowing PB full internet access, IDK. Can someone tell me what it means, why it is happening, and how you can solve it? Thanks

Always a good place to look for things like this

Note #3: This kick is caused by a rootkit application running while playing on PunkBuster enabled servers. The name of the file is called oreans32.sys and it is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\ of your computer. Deleting that file and rebooting will allow you to play again

Also remember Even balance have a support section which if you are having problems and cant fix them, they can help you, they know what all their lil codes mean.

[TheSilentAssassin]

Thanks, I will try that now...check this out, this is the most intereting forum i have ever seen about PB...

Tested Fine and still getting kicked.

Starting today I am getting kicked for an PB error Ignoring something #9006.
I checked all my PB stuff and even reinstalled BF2142 and PB and am still getting kicked, but only from this server. Did some PB changes to the server settings get changed recently?

[GoatX12]

Error forgot to make a few changes before I hit post.

Anyway the error was "PB Error:Ignoring Challenge Response #9006" Flashed up in the middle of the game than I was kicked a like 30 seconds later. Just began happening today. Nothing on my end has changed expect the game reinstalls in an attempt to fix the problem, here.
