because i applied the patch in the control panel, and now the servers say they are R2, before they were R1

All good, I applied the R2 patch and we are streaming now.

Our I3dnet servers are refusing to stream, nothing but Header Mismatches, and interestingly if I try to update this. PunkBuster Server: No Master Query Sent - DNS has not yet resolved for MASTER2.EVENBALANCE.COM Does this mean they need to update the server, PB, or both perhaps?

This, they co-developed Fairfight with I3dnet. I worked with Greg from MyIS during the BF3 testing of it.

Fairfight is completely backend based, there will be no interaction required from Server Admins whatsoever. I had some limited access to it during testing in BF3 because I was helping MyIs with their testing. heres a FB post from a friend who is currently holed up with DICE in Stockholm all this week.

Our SERVER never goes down, but it might as well when the connection to BLAZE drops. ;-)

The thread on battlelog is actually pretty hilarious. Players are so clueless when it comes to understanding WHO actually pays for the "free" servers they love to play on. Personally I'd be happy if DICE learnt how to properly mirror a database around the world, instead of expecting every server on the entire planet to connect to blaze in Europe. If they had put some effort into that perhaps we would get servers that stay up more than 12 hours.

Yup, no-one can tell you whether they are hosting or not. Seeing as I do not have an NDA, I can tell you that I3dnet are, but I can't tell you how I know that.

Good to see your organised MayDax, now might also be a good time to mention that lots of people here's GSP's will more likely then not have been denied BF4. Heres a petition fwiw. https://www.change.org/petitions/don-t-slim-the-battlefield-4-gsp-list

Down again I guess. :(

Confirmed and Streaming. :)

Oh, my God.

Will it not re-add them at some point though?

Thats known, its Rackage. Unfortunately Hypernia is pretty much a monopoly here in Australia.

Ok, so the solution for now is AutoUpdate via the Hub then? For all us poor people who cannot afford pbsvuser access. :rolleyes:

If someone could advise the best method to add MD5 checks I would be grateful. I added them to pbsv.cfg, but when i run md5toollist i only see one, the first one??? I figure theres not really much point to streaming without them, were already kicking blatant hackers manually.

adding spam messages has got ours to stream constantly now funnily enough.

ah nice, so add one more file we cant access them.. pbcl.cfg :lol:

I can copy/paste to the pbsv.cfg via the hypernia control panel. Thats it for access. it been streaming for a few days, but stops all the time. I pasted the pbsv.cfg from here this morning with no improvement. http://www.pbbans.com/mci-view-bfbc2-pbsv-36.html heres what BC2 Guardian says. -> PunkBuster Server: pb_sv_SsNext = 414165 (0 to 999999) -> PunkBuster Server: Game Version [520595] -> PunkBuster Server: Running PB Scheduled Task (slot #1) pb_sv_ver -> PunkBuster Server: Running PB Scheduled Task (slot #2) pb_sv_update -> PunkBuster Server: PB UCON Session #1 Opened [208.122.49.138:43123] type=1 name="pbbhub1" key=4199E43D01EEBB552E1C23D4932ACE4B -> PunkBuster Server: PB UCON "pbbhub1"@208.122.49.138:43123 [pb_sv_ver] -> PunkBuster Server: New Connection (slot #1) 85.178.201.7:63440 [?] "hash1sh1n" (seq 5243997) -> PunkBuster Server: Master Query Sent to (MASTER5.EVENBALANCE.COM) 66.36.231.175 -> PunkBuster Server: [From #1 7686(-) hash1sh1n] My dx C:\Windows\system32\d3d9.dll size=1826816 md5=7459301D21C2E21468823F73042D9F87 -> PunkBuster Server: Auto Screenshot 000001 Requested from 1 hash1sh1n -> PunkBuster Server: Screenshot D:\xxx\xxx\GameServers\xxx\pb\svss\pb000001.png successfully received (MD5=DE23F59BFE96969E4FC97AA9769524FC) from 1 hash1sh1n [00053b4f56757cd99554a75d0f0b7686(-) 85.178.201.7:63440] -> PunkBuster Server: Lost Connection (slot #1) 85.178.201.7:63440 00053b4f56757cd99554a75d0f0b7686(-) hash1sh1n

How would I check if the pbucon use file was created? Would it stream at all without one?

Thanks, scripts created by maydax use sessionlimit 8 , and timeout 300 was there after using those scripts, changing now.

Aaaaargh!!! Streaming constantly stops here. Start server, it streams, 5 mins later nothing. restart server it streams again. Driving me nuts.

Weird, reboot server and its streaming again.

Mmm, ours stopped streaming 2.5 hrs ago, guess I better go see what happened.

Mmm ran scripts, restarted server, not streaming. Guess its time for a ticket to Hypernia. BTW they just added a PB Update button, and a Remove PBLOGS and Screenshots button to the web console. I guess the next step is actually being able to view them BEFORE you delete them .
