setup for both TCP and UDP. Some dont but its just easier and safer. BTW the dedicated server tool has bugs in it. the thing does not like to load the server after u start it. to test in console try one of the commands, skip map or something. if u get a message saying something like unknown command that means the server did not load. people say to open up 3 or more dedicated servers and than trying to launch one. under compatibility in windows under the properties for the dedicated server they say to turn off visual themes too. its still a game of luck. i got mine to launch after the 12th attempt with 4 windows open. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS YESTERDAY. I wonder if this also applies for creating ingame server. i have not had anyone join me in there yet so idk what ubisoft was thinking.

I would like to ad, if you plan on hosting a server please make sure you know what your doing and what you have. Dont start up a server with PB server files out of date and/or crappy ISP and/or system just because you can.

I love seeing morons with 10meg download 20kb upload DSL/cable or better yet dial up internet and running a P4 celeron 2.0 1gig ram, outdated pb server files and saying its a good running server lol.

yes i see so manny people running there servers withe the old pb versions, im always getting kicked by that old sh*t.

i get a waring like waring this serer is running on a old punkbuster server C2.019
but plz update to C2.159

Ha ha didnt even realize thats whats going on. That explains why i keep getting kicked out of games by pb. Morons. ya no i got a quad core intel 6660. not top of the line but more than good cause i had a dedicated server running, the actual game running on full graphics connected to my server which was 16 people full, and firefox running in the background and no one reported lag. I asked lol. im also running the nvidia 260 XFX Black Edition video card. 4 gigs of ram but its on xp32 so i only get 3 gig out of it. anywho good stuff people like my map so far. Facing Diamonds. got a nice destructible bridge to extend the maps life and annoy unsuspecting noobs. its my first map so dont bash me lol. it works well in all modes but ya its nearly impossible to capture the diamond in it. first hour of play i remember it was over 1 hour before anyone actaully go to the enemies diamond location. But thats mostly cause no one plays as a team.
