A bit late, but very sorry to hear this. He was helpful to us when we joined. I lost my Mum to cancer not long ago. It is an evil thing.

Very sad to hear.

A sad time but his legacy lives on. My condolences to his family and friends.

Today, RodeoBob one of the co-founders of PBBans lost his battle with cancer after 4 years. Robert served his country in the United States Air Force for 23 years as an information manager and continued serving as a Government Financial Analyst for 13 years. In his spare time he enjoyed playing video games and from that found a desire to do something about cheaters in video games that use Punk Buster. He co-foundered PBBans as part of that goal. Bob hasn't been involved as much in the last 5 years but I'm sure many of our long time members know of him and likely delt with him directly at some point.

Update Info: At August 2024 PBBans HUB has changed to: pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.231" "pbbhub4-1" "pbbanshub" pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.249" "pbbhub4-2" "pbbanshub"

Even better!!

As i know they release a new Banlist every Month.

Nice!! Do they continuously update this list or just release a PDF list every three months?

If you want you can kick players from your servers also by namelist. So for this case or in case you want to check what names are used by cheaters lets share some banlists from other games. Take a look onto KRAFTONs banlist for PUBG https://wstatic-prod-boc.krafton.com/common/content/news/20240729/AfFwZXY0/240731_WKBL(0722_0728).pdf

Some may have noticed we were offline for a few hours yesterday as the DB server OS was upgraded. It went off without any issues. However our main server was done today but had some upgrade issues and took a lot longer to get back online. Long story short the old OS version 7 is hitting end of life status next month and will not be receiving any more updates. Therefore our servers needed to be updated to a newer version which is now complete.

Hi Torinatus, A global ban unless appealed successfully should never go away. There may have been disconnections from Punkbuster for a short time allowing players who picked up a ban to play again temporarily. Every account has a GUID (Global Unique Identifier) and it doesn't matter which computer you play on as the GUID will be the same for that account. The ban is tied to that specific GUID.

Hello! I have two computers, connected to the same router and both are logged in a single account, but i can play on only one of them. I share the account with my friend. Both of these computers are mine, but my second computer broke a long time ago. That computer played the game fine, with no GUID ban. Then i downloaded the game on the working computer, and get kicked out of servers for a GUID ban. I've only some days after that fixed the pc that could join servers, but now i get a GUID ban on it too. After some time passed (2-3 months) the ban just dissapears and i can play on servers again, it appears the soon i play on the different pc and again goes away after some time. I bought the game legally (from Origin) and didnt cheat. The problem started a long time ago, in the middle of 2023, i didn't find any fix for it and playing on one computer is not an option. https://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticket/update_ticket.php?ticketnumber=EB3663001028480&password=63ee22211c3154d542d80fa2cc0f57 The ID is in the notes, but here it is PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player 'Torinatus' ... GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN 1d194111

*Updated Added some infos for LINUX Servers: On Linux servers you have to do the same steps but additionally copy your PunkBuster folder to "/cod4server/.callofduty4/pb/" If you dont set basepath and homepath it is creating a hidden folder (instead of the Windows AppData) but this folder is missing the needed pb files. pb_sv_writecfg pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use pb_sv_restart (wait 30 seconds until pb has been restarted)
