... , but I cannot see any servers at all in multiplayer.
no ingame browser = no masterserver , that is wolfmaster.idsoftware.com being unresponsive.
// Master servers http://is.gd/XBuzYe
seta sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_master3 "wolfmaster.idsoftware.com"
seta sv_master4 "clanservers.net"
seta sv_master5 "eg.dynip.com"

- client logging is useful to trace errors, not more or less. So the Q would be: what is the kick reason when you connect to a server
- it does no harm to add and update both /pb locations in pbsetup+legacy
- common issue under vista/w7 is either the Game.exe or PnkBstrA.exe / PnkBstrB.exe are not running with admin rights. Google & Google
- ofc there are no working 64 bit versions for discontinued legacy games
if a game does not run w/h pb this will lead to nothing; i'd rather delete pb and get the game to run first, drivers, DX configuration etc.

one more little thing: when I run the pbsetup.exe in the pbsetup+legacy package, it only works in legacy the first time I run it.
The next time it shows only the current supported games list. so I delete the files and re-extract them to run it again.
That is what discontiued support means; thus there is nothing to 'fix', it is a workaround.
Create two folders pbsetup_new (contains pbsetup.exe) pbsetup_legacy (contains legacy.rar, extract again if needed).
PBSetup.exe still works, but you will need an old backup copy of pbgame.htm to run it on legacy games
... and pbsetup will download a new pbgame.htm (w/h legacy games) each time it's run, so the procedure is abit fiddly, as on the next run legacy games are gone, so you have to start over from scratch and: delete pbgame.htm, copy/rename pbgame.htm.bak, restart pbsetup, use [Add Game] again; (PS: or backup/zip pbuser.htm once you added all legacy games)

thats what happens if someone thinks it was a good idea to listen to cheat site-vips/staff etc. personnel what could be done against their exploits "Oh, nothing? Too bad" instead of keeping them outdoors on policy and beforehand where ever possible. That is their choice. My choice at this point is, i quit taking anything seriously what comes from a source considering that a policy suitable for AC .
BTW: Still encouraging to stream Home-Servers to pimp up numbers? Or EA/Dice fixed that misconception accidentally?

Okay, I was thinking about getting this card for my system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130739
Does anyone have it, and if so, do you recommend it?
The pleb-version is already pretty smooth, i got one as an on the fly replacement (blackscreen + musical MoBo Saturday afternoon) for 1 evga_GTX285_FTW for twice+ the juice. To give a few tendencies, it "performs" not as good in benchmarks
(285 result with maxed out memory timings though (dominator @1600 XMP) couldn't be arsed with the 560), but under practical conditions the 560 returns rather higher but first and foremost more stable FPS rates; this as well with old and new games, in paricular it's way smoother in RO2, 90fps almost constant vs. 60-68 ish. It's cooler and more silent, 40°C vs. 52°C idle. Stable and solid. Bottomline thumbs up.
And for the future i'd rather get another mass product from a mass brand rather than a nifty-pricey niche product of a - still - mass brand, marginal performance gain plus more noise isn't really worth the less marginally higher price. Only pro was if you get 10 years RMA - not here, PartNo.-KR is 3 years anyway.

1. no luck is a Shrug-report, fix: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-clientlog.html
2. make sure pbsrv are properly installed http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-pbsvc.html
3. simplest way to pbupdate is the old console version pbweb.exe , run from ET/pb/ pbweb.rar

1. go to games /pb folder, create a text-file named pbcl.cfg , file contents:
// // filename: pbcl.cfg -- goes to game's /pb/ // pb_MsgPrefix "^5PunkBuster Client" pb_Sleep 500 pb_LogToFile 1 pb_SsLog 1 pb_SsSave 1 PB_LogMD5Tool 1 pb_Security 0 // allow pb-update downloads from ANY (game-)server
Note for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users :
Please note that Windows Vista and Windows 7 stores the logs and other PB files outside the game folder commonly located at:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\ \pb\
You can enter this to view the PunkBuster working folder for the current user and select the game you wish to setup logging for:
%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\Local\PunkBuster\
or
%LOCALAPPDATA%\PunkBuster\
this enables client logging as well; to retrieve information like GUID, exact kick reasons and violation numbers etc. refer to:
/pb/pbcl.log
for further information see: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-clientlog.html2. update client pb using this workaround, contains old Backup of 'pbgame.htm' for legacy games :LEAKED!pbsetup+legacy.rar
3. check this out http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-pbsvc.html as well.-

we are not punkbuster ... but i'm guessing you mean this:
PBSetup.exe still works for legacy games, but you will need an old backup copy of pbgame.htm to run it pbsetup+legacy.rar

i tried this bfhd exploit (bfhd map in dc levels/) on a DC online server, result(s): empty/grey map-loading screen & crash to desktop - as expected and as it should. It only "works" (with weapons etc. of the wrong mod) on local servers, but this only as server and client are using the same wrong map-file.
for #9013 kicks, practically pb_sv_md5toolfreq is a timeout. Usually clients are kicked shortly after connecting if the server issued a md5tool check (note there is a random factor) while clients are still initializing (or worse: updating) pb. This can get worse if the servers network connection gets weak - i used to run md5toolfreq 50 but during weekends 120 ish.
Opposed to that, if there are individual clients always getting kicked, they have update, init or firewall issues, no overall admin rights (vista) - i never found a fix though.
As a practical approach: the list contains a lot of dated items, i'd run a high setting, but 300 is already maxed out. If there are still mass kicks, my only idea is, its a legacy game pb-wise, and apparently stuff starts to break.
-
I hope it's not inappropriate to say this here but if you copy the map rfas and overwrite the dc versions, you will have the low-fog versions running client side.
Conspiracy. All you get from that is a game crash (i tried, you?) as client's and server's map+mod do not match*. Even if this not the case: checking for the existence of a mod (mods/BFHD/Archives/Objects.rfa NOT_FOUND) would not change an overwritten map-file (rename /BFHD/, fixed?)
*(local server w/ same broke-joke-map)
Any other ideas for avoiding the kicks?
What type of kicks? violation logs? there is no md5t related kick in the streamed logs back to Nov.7, 4-5 kicks for #9013 Ignoring MD5Tool Queries. Usual fix for #9013 is a higher md5toolfreq setting, a few random #9013 viols. are common.

pb_sv_md5tool a "" v "mods/BFHD\Archives\Objects.rfa" SZ0 AT0 LEN32 NOT_FOUND
syntax error
pb_sv_md5tool a "" v "mods/BFHD/Archives/Objects.rfa" SZ0 AT0 LEN32 NOT_FOUND
that left aside, i don't see any sense in kicking players for having a mod that has no impact on other mods, imo you have to join a BFHD Server - i have BFHD myself and joined your server today, and there defo was full fog on ivo jima.
is it possible everybody has bfhd? :P

I have an entry in my pbsv.cfg that says
pb_sv_uconignore "pb_sv_md5toolfreq"
Should I remove that or leave it?
that just prevents modifications of pb_sv_md5toolfreq via PBUCON (e.g. streaming services), can stay as is.
One more question - I'm trying to add an entry for BFHD and I used to have a cheat sheet for adding entries, what the w did vs. a, but it seems it was lost. I looked in the information center and tried some googling but I don't see any info on it - do you have a link handy that I can read to get it?brief overview, you can pm me your md5 list when done (+ additional info like DL sources) if you want.

Pro: Simple to use, toss into game's /pb and run
Con(?): not sure if this is sufficient to update an out-of-the-box pb_client installation into latest. it should although. does not work with empty /pb -
try again with
pb_sv_md5toolfreq 200
to see if the issue persists;

if you ran a website like many pubbers do, we could offer you a line of action like: make an announcement "streaming our servers to pbbans etc." and give us a list of all server admins (GUIDs) - but without we can not prove anything, so i rather see as only viable option to download our public banlist http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php on a regular basis, sorry.

*Benway adjusts* we are not that lenient ^_^
take it from me, there is nothing of any value he could tell, he's dull as a cheese sandwich.
As he didn't get the streaming-hack thingy quite right at the time, he kept connecting to ~30 bf2142 servers with new guid each time + same outdated hack to receive 30 bans, none took the time to explain him what a released violation (with bygone delay) is ... "fake" with same IP, 0rly? bunny was not impressed
btw these bans are all valid (to certain idiots: change GUID by changing a single registry.reg value + restart + reconnect is no fake) even though the cited "anti-cheat"-community still comes up with these as "fake bans". Apparently they have no clue what that is, otherwise they had initiated countermeasures against the spam off untrustworthy sources (habitual cheaters streaming servers for instance, you get the idea, right?) they still keep releasing themselves.

We are sorry, but the crucial violation information (example: http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-0ee933ec-vb226481.html Evidence - Server Logs, first block) was not streamed. Bans can be based on streamed evidence solely, not offline logs.
Looking at the streamed logs, possibly steaming was flooded by countless pb_sv_ bindsearch Tasks.
