Workaround for the punkbuster-freezes and slow-downs in the game.
Delete the complete pb-folder, create a new pb-folder, copy pbsetup.exe in the pb-folder and start update. Create now in the pb-folder a file with the name "pbcl.cfg" and copy the following text in this file. (or download it) ZITAT pb_sleep 500 pb_security 0 Download PB-Fix ZITAT PB_Security [0=no, 1=yes] When set to 0, PunkBuster will accept all "update" files without verifying that they are authentic; the default is 1 which should not normally be changed except for LAN environments where there is no Internet Access and/or you fully trust the Servers you are connecting to PB_Sleep [Period] Holds the period of time (milliseconds) that PunkBuster "sleeps" between processing cycles; the default is 60; lower numbers will cause PunkBuster to process events more times each second which also has the effect of increasing the bandwidth used by PunkBuster; Players with a modem connection will probably want to set this as high as possible Greetz Sonyfan!:-) -------------------- |

You actually don't have to create an a new pb-folder. The program will do that for you.
QUOTE copy pbsetup.exe in the pb-folder and start update I advice against this. Better create a new folder anywhere you like and place pbsetup.exe in it. -------------------- |

right now i run et+pb without that config and it was stable yesterday for a lot of maps until i disconnected normally. there were no short hangups on startup, nothing. i guess, eb made a "silent update" or anything else |

Have you all these checked? PB-Lags/Freeze have more different solutions! PB-Lagfix is a one from different ways.

Blue Screens?
Are you sure those came from punkbuster? That doesn't sound like a punkbuster problem for me -------------------- |

i'm definately sure that pb caused these bluescreens. it always and only happened when i played et with pb running on the server. pb initiates the sata device remove so there are no harddrives attached to the operating system and it gets busted. trust me, only pb cause.

Maybe I am reading it differently, still...
QUOTE Delete the complete pb-folder meaning deleting the 'pb' folder located in the Wolfenstien folder. Default C:\Program Files\Enemy - Territory\pb QUOTE create a new pb-folder so make a new folder called 'pb'... but the program will do that itself. So not necessary. QUOTE copy pbsetup.exe in the pb-folder and start update. This is where I say better make a new folder for pbsetup.exe to run in. Why? Because PBSETUP will use various files that it will create and use during operation. You don't want those files in your 'pb' directory. Evenbalance even says you should do it like that: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php QUOTE For best results, users should create a folder on the hard drive to hold PBSetup and the various files that it will create and use during operation. PBSetup should be downloaded directly into the folder or moved into the folder after downloading to the desktop but before running PBSetup for the first time. The easiest way to create a folder is to "right click" on the desktop and choose New|Folder from the pop-up menu and then type in a folder name such as PBSetup and press the Enter key. But yes, from experience with other users I know punkbuster and there computers just don't work together well. Lockups and errors and that sort of thing with no way of fixing it until a new patch or update comes around. -------------------- |

Didn't work for me, but I have a very good line so I don't care ^^
Struggle for your self, or buy a higher bandwidth. OR ignore the error restart and start play until it kicks of agian. NVM it! xD |
