Evenbalance (Punkbuster) is not the same as PBBans.
Time and again it would appear that people are confusing the two.
I understand the questions and mistrust toward Evenbalance, but I don't understand the 'attacks' on PBBans. ???
side note to the PBbans guys .. do you have or plan to have a server browser that shows streaming only servers ?
The same applies to VAC. PB is usually faster at banning players these days.
Our current plan has PB implemented in three stages.
*Stage 0: Off
*Stage 1: Access to the server screenshot functionality and streaming bans
*Stage 2: Standard PB protection that WILL NOT interfere with Steam (and the overlay)
*Stage 3: Full PB that WILL (most likely) kick for the steam overlay
Server admins can work with these to decide what anti cheat environment works best for their server. And players will be able to filter for those settings as well to find servers that fit their preferences.
I'm kind of confused by this. Does "Stage" 0 mean that that is going to be a server side option to disable PB entirely? Or is PB eventually going to be on as well as VAC by default ?

unless vac is disabled as well
Did you stream your w@w server via a third party anti cheat service ?Not biased are you?
TBH I've banned obvious cheats on players after spectating them and having other experienced administrators confirm my suspicions many times while Punkbuster was running in our COD WAW server when we had one up. And this wasn't an isolated one type indecent either. There were a number of aimbot cheats, speed cheats, and wall hacks that went totally unchecked by punkbuster. So, sorry, that dog dont hunt.

Streaming does not cause any lag what so ever.No. We did not see any appreciable benefit in doing that vs the inevitable lag at the time.
Will Punkbuster and VAC exchange information in any way or will they be completely separate?
