Are you running Windows 7 Beta on the computer?
I got the same exact error when I tried to play COD4 on it. Nothing to fix it if you are running the Beta windows since evenbalance doesn't support the Beta operating systems.
as long as you have your seperate pbsv.cfg for when you aren't using the TWL configs, you will be ok. The TWL configs are only active during match and go off when you go back to pub mode or restart your server.
Your account is clean here. You are linked to the person because you have a dynamic IP address. The only way to play on that server would be to go there and appeal why you want to play and see what their reason is. There is one other possibility that happened is that the IP that is associated with the BAN is in their banlist and it was the dynamic IP that you had at that time.
1.When you put in your command to change the map, put it in as "/rcon map_rotate" so that it does it on server side
2. You can add the command to your start up config for the mp file of the game, but not exactly sure of the command.
3. I don't think so, but I may be proved wrong :)
4. I believe that you set it to 1 for team spectate
5. Only in mods can the weapons be tweaked without the server becoming unranked.
Yeah, For gameservers, sometimes they don't install PB with your server purchase, so just put in a ticket, and 20 or so min after it is replied to, you should have pb running correctly.
I would suggest that you preform the command...
pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use
pb_sv_restart
Those were usually the only things that stopped me from streaming when I first upload my config files to the server.
Hope this helps.
