Anybody with any PB problems ??

[Cain]

In the last few days ??

[Zantheus]

none at all

[Zantheus]

none at all but I have seen allot of people getting kicked for inuit failures

[Cain]

OK thx, there was a server update that I missed, I patched it now....

I doubt it would kick folks but who knows...

Haven't noticed any major problems like a week or two ago. Just a few Init kicks like Zantheus stated.

I can't seem to fix PB on your server to work for me.. I get kicked about 3 mins into a game.. but its a 0 time limit kick.. so I can rejoin right away..

Every other high ranked server I've played on doing test doesn't have these issues with PB as your server does.

This has been happening on the 22nd, and 23rd.

Ive been able to play fine.....But did notice alot of pb Init kicks tonight. Also quite a few bans for hackers

[BLAZE86]

Yea.. I been watching people while doing tests and stuff.. Theres alot of people out there with aimbots.. I was playing in thekrackhouse 2 nights ago.. and one guy had like 400 kills and only 30 deaths.. and like 3 times the score then everyone else.. maybe more by the time the round ended..

Hacks are ruining PC gaming badly.. all most as badly as the MPAA claims illegal downloading is.

PunkBuster kicks me for INIT FAILURE, what does that mean?

Usually, this message means your PB is not working properly. You should run our PBSETUP program to make sure your PB is up to date.
However, we have recently discovered that some broadband routers routinely drop OOB (Out of Band) packets for no apparent reason. Since all PB packets are OOB, these routers can actually block PB's communication (again for no apparent reason). To determine if the router is the cause of this problem for you, remove the router and connect directly to the internet. If you are able to play this way, then the cause is very likely the router.
Based on user feedback, the following router brands/models are reported to have problems. Not necessarily all models of a brand might be affected, and the list is in no way complete but it can give you a few hints. Also, we do not claim that our list below shows the only solution to fix your issue, nor that it will fix it for sure even though it has worked for others. It could very well be that changing some settings in your router could help as well. Contacting the company directly might help you as well.

* Linksys - possible solution: Use firmware 1.44.2
* Motorola - possible solution: Update to latest firmware
* Netgear - possible solution: Disable SPI (statefull packet inspection)

I wonder if a backbone I'm connecting off of to get up to your server is using one of these routers.. Because like I said.. I have no trouble at all on other servers.

Could be PB trying to get out of the cross hairs on whos to blame.. but w/e.

Blazer i had a the same problem like 2 months ago...Cain forgot to patch the server so i ended up uninstalling pb and reinstalling it and updating everything and i was able to get back into Cains without any problems. Give it a try and see what happens. Goodluck

Yeah, I just reinstalled COD4 after doing a complete Windows reinstall....and even after a fresh PB update, still get kicked

[aquataine]

i am getting punted from both the TDM and HQ server, I did a reinstall because I had a odd gfx glitch. I went to evenbalance to manual update to the new versions thinking my pb didnt autoupdate, but its not letting me stay on the server for more then 2 mins
