I always hesitate yelling "hack", especially with COD4 & 5 because of a few "perks" which used to be hacks in the old days. First is UAV. A good player can take a quick glance and (knowing the map) have an excellent positioning of the "enemy" thru trees and walls. Second is "deep impact" perk which allows bullets to go right through "thin walls", bushes, etc. Third is the terrible spawning...notably on the map in the video. A small map, and good players know where the spawns are very quickly. I speced a player with similar "tactics" as shown. He "knew" where to aim because of the spawns...right through trees while he was hidden in the grass. I speced both 3rd and first person (try 1st person as it gives you a much better perspective than the 3rd person view) and couldn't "swear without a doubt" whether he was good or whether he was hacking. I am not defending the player in the video....however I know this game requires a much more subjective view/analysis than the "normal" shooter.

It is streaming...but haven't access to the private area yet...sorry

Apparently some players have learned that they can change the color of their player name on screen. It can be done either by editing the mp player config or via the console. A name would appear something like []Exploiter in-game. While generally innocent in nature, some players have opted to change their name color to green....which is the same color as players on your team in-game. Thus, the "green" player appears to be on your side...then kills you. Definitely an exploit. A few sites have suggested adding: pb_sv_cvar clanName EXCLUDE ^^ to the PB config, which blocks all colored nicknames. Supposedly this will be rectified with the next patch (whenever that will be).

I know you say Windows Firewall is not blocking Punkbuster but you might doublecheck. You have to insure that both "A" and "B" are authorized in the "programs allowed" listing. You can find both in Windows/System32 folder. Make sure both are checked.

Aside from getting the server streaming: In a search of the Gameservers forums (we use them too) they say 9001 to 9050 are the open ports. We use 9001 successfully. Try different ports in that range. And (for the sake of your server not disappearing from the game Master Server) just change the PB config and then do /pb_sv_restart in the console. It'll restart PB only while your server keeps on running.

Sorry, totally new to PB and SS's. I attempted a few screenshot's tonight. My config is the standard PB config. We aren't doing auto SS. I did not see an .png in my /svss folder. Instead I found a file entitled pbsvss.htm. Inside of that were two links (which went nowhere I could tell, followed by the players GUID and name). There was also another file called pb000004.htm. I took them via the PB Webtool; highlighting player's slot number and pressing the SS button. Any idea where my set-up is wrong and why I am not getting .png photos?
