    [Error] Punker Buster keeps turning off

    What is the exact PB kick message, could you get a screenshot of the message? It sounds like a firewall or security software in your modem/router is blocking PB from accessing the internet.

    [Solution] Punkbuster causes Freeze .

    This is because PB is now far more intrusive, and it will get more so over time. As PB gets more and more invasive then you will find more and more programs will cause problems. Obviously EvenBalance have to continue to make PB more intrusive or it will become useless, but this will bring these...

    Banned ?

    Do you ever experience lag and get a message about speed hacking? There is a session ban put in place my TWI for speed hacking, but it has session banned some players who just lag. I'm not sure if there is any ban message when that happens, I think there is only the warning in chat before hand.

    A List you don't want to end up on

    I read it in my eight year old Nephew's voice when he's having a tantrum, not that he uses language like that though. Many paid hacks have been detected by both PB and VAC over the years, you need to stop buying into the rubbish the people who make money out of game hacks like to spurt...

    Server PB Screen Shots Enabled

    Have you got PBSSs set to auto? When screenshots are taken they will cause some players to lag, but that is client-side so it should only affect the particular player the PBSS was taken on.

    Server PB Screen Shots Enabled

    Good news, TWI must have spoken to EB about getting their monies worth. Have you been getting a good success rate with the PBSSs returning images?

    A List you don't want to end up on

    How can anyone work for a Software program? I'm guessing you mean EvenBalance, the makers of PunkBuster software. Unless Hitachi have brought out EvenBalance then no I don't work for EvenBalance. The only people that could possibly wish to reduce cheating in an online game could only ever be...

    New cheat

    Have you reported the player to VAC staff? http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showpost.php?p=902378&postcount=144

    A List you don't want to end up on

    At this point in time I'm thinking you're continuously lying about the functionality of PunkBuster in RO2 as you have some invested interest in PB being dropped by Admins. This is the only logical conclusion I can come to considering it has been pointed out to you three times previously in this...

    how do you check players steam ID

    Do you use the Steam Overlay? You can view players on the server through that and bring up their Steam Community page during the video. That will give a lot of creditability to your recordings. If not, try what Gudenrath suggested and open the Vote Kick menu during the recording. I find if you...

    Server PunkBuster activity: Is this normal

    Players getting kicked for failing to auto-update isn't caused by the PB Master servers being overloaded, it's because some players internet can't handle a connection to the Game Server, PB Master server (located in the USA) and download from those PB Master servers all at the same time. Bad...

    Hacks? Lulwut?

    A speedhacker? Are you sure? With TWIs anti-speedhacking auto-kicker I'm not sure how that is possible, unless they were only on for a very short period of time before being kicked. Any distance traveled in-game beyond what is allowed normally within a time frame will get you either a kick or...

    Server PunkBuster activity: Is this normal

    The files used in the auto-updating of PB clients are the exact same used for all other games that use PB, I've never heard of this being an issue in any other game that uses PB. So if PB is the cause of the problem I highly doubt that the auto-updating software of PB is directly the cause. It...

    On Hackers

    Which I have done before, compared to many other games there is very few. Which somewhat suggests that cheating isn't common, but YouTube videos are not a real indication of the amount of cheating going on in any game. I'd like to see good videos to track these players and see if they are...

    Hacks? Lulwut?

    I am yet to see a cheater on any Australian server, there are definitely cheaters as Steve from Queensland has been caught by PB twice and VAC at least once in RO2. I spectate anyone that gets accused of cheating, which is very uncommon or anyone that has a particularly high score or makes me...

    A List you don't want to end up on

    As I have said previously, Globally Banned means they are permanently banned from all PB enabled servers regardless if they stream to a PB Streaming group like PBBans. As I pointed out before all detections by PunkBuster software on any server running PunkBuster in RO2 will result in the...

    On Hackers

    Steam accounts with games brought with stolen credit cards either get disabled after a very short time or won't work in the first place because of the security Valve use. Now that Steam has hardware locking and is on by default if Steam Guard was setup, stolen Steam accounts are now very...

    Server PunkBuster activity: Is this normal

    Yes PB does/attempts to update the client when connected to the Game Server and it has always been that way, so yes this is completely normal. Players downloading when connected to a Game Server, be it a PB client update or porn, will not affect a Game server. Just to clarify how PB updates...

    Server PunkBuster activity: Is this normal

    Besides Keksman58 Rus all the other players are or are trying to auto-update, so there must have been an update to PB. Client auto-update will cause lag for individual players but it shouldn't affect the Game server, as the updates are coming from the Master PB servers. There may have been a PB...

    [Error] PB Kick--Updating Problems

    What kick message do you receive from PB? Is it mentioning something about PnkBstrA.exe and/or PnkBstrB.exe? Did you change the path on PBSetup to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\Win32\pb as the default is still pointing to the Beta location. If...
