I will personaly make our PB Logs and SV Viol logs avaible to Hendrik if this would help resolve the issues.

Who knows maybe if a farcry add on or even a FC 2 makes the shelves then PB would be intergrated right from the word go.

I'm easily contactable via our main website.

Well...i have updated the new patch and new pb....and now PB has started to pick on me...impossible to play a decent game. It is not only me it was effecting last night but every1 on our server...until we switch PB off!!

oh yeh our server was also upgraded! and now mysteriously keeps crashing..(but this is a Host prob maybe...just a coincidence..maybe)

The most ironic thing is,...

when i started these post i was doing it to help my m8s...PB very rarely kicked me....and now...well i seem to have joined the ranks of being kicked all the time!!

I would like to say this was not only tested by me on our server...i tried on other servers...got some very wierd kicks..1 of which i have asked ice if i need to worry about!!

By the looks of the servers late last night...the whole community has been effected...i have never seen so many empty servers...and the only 1s that had peeps in did not have PB turned on!

maybe i should keep my mouth shut next time!

reading other posts (as havent installed 1.32 client/server side yet) the crash maybe coming from 1.31 clients joing 1.32 servers.

The pb kicks, maybe worth doing a test for a week with no cvar checks and then with them, as a few mention that UBI servers are not as bad, as these are running no pbsv.cfg as far as i am aware; so pb isnt working so hard.

the cvar checks i ran on our server were ::

//cvar bollocks

pb_sv_CvarLogging 1
pb_sv_CvarWalk 0
pb_sv_CvarFreq 2
pb_sv_cvarempty


pb_sv_cvar r_hdrrendering IN 0
pb_sv_cvar r_vpfog IN 1
pb_sv_cvar r_Driver IN Direct3D9


pb_sv_cvar ui_RepeatDelay IN 200
pb_sv_cvar ui_RepeatSpeed IN 40

pb_sv_cvar e_vegetation_min_size IN 0 2.2
pb_sv_cvar e_obj_view_dist_ratio In 55 100
pb_sv_cvar e_particles_lod IN 0.5 1.0
pb_sv_cvar e_particles_max_count IN 512 8192

pb_sv_cvar cl_runheight IN 0.03 //debateable if needed
pb_sv_cvar cl_runheightspeed IN 1.5 //debateable if needed
pb_sv_cvar cl_runpitch IN 0.4 //debateable if needed

pb_sv_cvar r_DisableSfx IN 0

the others recommended on cb cannot be changed on the fly and need devmode running, so these are not included

I am another one who didnt get booted before 1.32, now its every game.

I dont get much free time, so i think ill just put FC on the shelf for now, and check the forums every now and again to see if there is any progress.

make a sticky on the main page when its sorted to save people searching :-)

I found this thread by searching Google for my packet loss problem.

If it's any comfort (I know it won't be!!) I suffer this on EVERY game I have that uses PunkBusted. BF1942, BFV, CoD, MOH, Far Cry. You name it, I get booted. I was so in favour of the idea of PB before it came out, but since it has it's casued me nothing but grief. And yes, I have mailed support and put in tickets but not got any help.

Do you have a motherboard with an nForce chipset? I hear PB has problems with some nForce chipsets. Possible solution is to make sure you have the latest nForce drivers for the chipset.

Most current clan servers are set to have PB configs to version 1.31. Revert to that patch and you should be fine or wait for the 1.33 patch to come out and a whole new set of hashes will be done for that patch for PB.

I just read on the CB forums that there is a new tool for updating PB via the web. It's called PBSETUP.exe. It is a replacement for pbweb.exe. I downloaded and tried it and it works flawlessly. Cool features it updates all your PB enabled game simultaneously. It did FC, BF2, and RvS for me all at once. Snag it here

Also, I just trimmed my pbsv.cfg once again. It had some extraneous CVARs. Snag it here.

Cough.... Keep up Doc...

bah, that is what I get for not having each post via email any more.

While working on something else I trimmed some more fat from the current pbsv.cfg:

e_vegetation and e_water_ocean no longer need to be checked for as they are labelled cheats in the commands list and require devmode.

Updated pbsv.cfg.

Since this thread is "live" anyone having problems with a server that kicks continuously (Not that I have a particular one in mind.... ) please try the advice Hendrik gives here:

Slightly updated config. Whitefilelist no longer needs to run as a task. (Right click and save) http://gotfrags.net/pbsv.cfg


Also, pleased to see many US servers now running PB. Problem is hasn't been done in so long kicks are happening left and right due to out of date clients. Use the pbweb.exe and pbsetup.exe to get your stuff current

Sorry for two updates in one day, but I recently learned of a program that some hackers are using to play even though they are on PsB's MBL. While the above update was mostly optional, this is quite necessary:

(Right click and save): http://gotfrags.net/pbsv.cfg

The internet is a wonderful thing. Seems as though someone Googled one of the words in my new pbsv.cfg and he pointed me to a much more refined config. I looked it over and weeded out files that were specific to that game and added some of mine own from yet more Google searches....so I have yet another update:

http://gotfrags.net/pbsv.cfg

jeeze go on holiday come back and find this post has gone live again!lol
thanxs for all ya work doc...( a little cuz has told me how much u bin doing for us! appreciated m8 :-)) and all the others that have been involve thanxs!

gonna see if the new patch and pb work for me tonight...wish me luck! u never know cuz might have the right patch to come and kill me now!

laters all

Thanks for the kudos porky. After a friendly discussion with Kele in the CB forums I have decided to mod the config yet again. There are now two versions:

The first is intended for competition ladders. It doesn't check as many files and it kicks for 0 minutes: http://gotfrags.net/comp_pbsv.zip

The second is intended for public servers and checks for more files and kicks for 10 minutes: http://gotfrags.net/pub_pbsv.zip

Some would ask why I check for less files during competition and my reply would be because I have it check for the more common (and potentially match altering) files more often.

Hmm...
I smell bacon...

But new rig is fubar!
That'll teach me... but in the near future I hope to find out if it is easier to kill at greater than 39 fps! Hope the holiday to the old country was good mate, did I here mention of a pig in a penguin suit?

@Doc Kudos isnt the word for what you have personally done in the last few months!
Can you retire again if it makes you this productive!!!

Thanks to Doc from me as well; even though I would put those settings in pbsvuser.cfg instead of pbsv.cfg.

I was on a v1.33 server with PB enabled the other night for about 8 hours with a healthy load on for the number of players. Noticeably few PB kicks for things like no packet flow and init failures. Things ran very smoothly. Updated PB server and client software, along with config file tweaks seem to be working nicely as of late.

Slug I have to add my thanks to you, Kelli and Rayneserve who I know have helped Doc with this as well as others who go unnammed at this time..
