Ok Ant is sending in a trouble ticket to even balance and thanks for the help there. Yes that would make sence about the pbss from another server. How about this, we had a member sending a picture of himself and his sister to another member via msn messenger, both were on SOF2 in spec, the picture of the clan member and his sister ended up on a pbss of the sender, that is the weirdest thing I have seen.lol Hey and once again guys thanks for the help. dogger

Thanks for the reply, he still says he was not on that server and I tend to believe him, he has no reason to lie and he is a good enough player that he does not have to cheat. Besides giving me a violation number what exactly would cause this error..adding files to your game??...tweaking a video card, resolution,anti-aliasing or the such and if it is just drivers as 90000 says how would you know what is ok and what is not for driver use? Could this be a problem with even balance themselves, I was reading about how they screwed up with an update not long ago that caused the server lists to disappear as well as other issues and then they released another one right after to fix it..(sounds like microsoft..lol), as well it gave me a download that messed up my PB folder in SOF2, it kept kicking me for "pbag" something or other, I had to over write my PB folder with that of my stepsons to make it go away. So I do realize even balance has issues too. Guys I am just trying to figure out what is going on and I honestly believe what Ant is saying, at T@ we have 4 SOF2 (non streamed)servers running with 3 of them empty all the time, if Ant was just trying out a hack as you suggest he would be able to do it at any of our other servers without anyone knowing, so I cannot believe that scenerio. When I check the punk buster screen shots of Ant and we have a long history of checking them diligently, I have found no problems with his at all...perfectly clean.. On another note when I do look at our punk buster screen shots I have seen other servers screen shots in our servers pb/svss folder. Nothing against Punk Buster or Pbbans but this system is not perfect and I am wondering if there is more to this then just "A guy hacking"? As T@ we spend hours on weeding out hackers of our games and as one of the most popular SOF2 INF servers we really appreciate what Punk Buster and Pbbans does to assist us on keeping all games hacker free. If there is any more light you can shed on the subject I would appreciate it, but I honestly believe what Ant says. On a side note I was reading ATI's info on the latest ***-** draiver and it does say is has known issues with Opengl games..could that be part of the problem maybe?? As I said thanks for the help on trying to resolve this. dogger

Not sure if this is the place to post this but I just registered to your site. A friend of mine was banned yesterday. http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=14911 I talked to Ant and he says he has never been to ROX server and he has no idea why this ban log was created. He told me that he did install a new video card (Radeon 9550) Sunday nite and then he installed the latest ***-** drivers (ver 6.11) from the ati site.( when he installed the driver he said it did say there was an "opengl" problem)( as well he forgot to uninstall the the old drivers from his old card before installing the new drivers) After he installed the drivers he changed the resolution then he went into the game and changed his gore level, after he did that he came into our server (70.85.213.195:20100) and was kicked from our server for MD5tools so he reconnected and was kicked again for the same thing, upon reconnecting for the 3rd time he connected and played on our server for a couple of hours with no problem. He is in our server right now Nov 28 7:11 pm est. He has told me that he had just done what I have told you and that he does not mess around with cheats at all, he has been with our clan over a year and he has always come across to me as an honest person, he put in an appeal to the ban. Excuse my ignorance here but could someone please tell me what exactly he was banned for?? What would generate this ban and why can he now get into our server if the ban is still outstanding?? We as T@ are just trying to figure out what has happened to a clan member and any help from anyone here would be greatly appreciated. dogger
