Nvidia promises improved gaming with latest GeForce GTX Titan GPU. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2028769/nvidia-promises-improved-gaming-with-latest-geforce-gtx-titan-gpu.html The GPU will start at $999!!! Wow! Don't think I'll be getting one of these real soon!

Great idea! I've downloaded the Beta.... However, I'm not about to disconnect my PC and carry it down to the living room to play a game on my 52" TV ! My plan is to try to get it to stream wirelessly to the TV. The TV is DLNA compliant and I have a wireless Roku box on it. I also have Playon Media Server software running on my PC. If I get it to stream wirelessly with a decent framerate, I'll post back here.

Thanks, Renegade! Downloading it now! +1 :biggrin8:

Hey Foz! Only play on servers that are streaming to PBBans - that way, if the admin kicks you, you can put a ban on him! :biggrin8:

Yugo, It sounds like you may think that this site IS PunkBuster. This is PBBans, the best 3rd party anti-cheat service available. There are many knowledgable and helpful people here, but..... It is NOT PunkBuster, which is the anti-cheat program developed and maintained by EvenBalance. www.evenbalance.com

LMAO! I'm down with the last one - $#%@ it! Back to WWII!

Thanks, Fozzer! :D Just to clarify for the OP, the command "PB_SV_CVAR +smoke IN 0 0" will NOT kick or block players that type "/+smoke" in the console. But, it will cause their arm to freeze in the air if they try to throw a grenade after typing +smoke. It's funny to watch them run around with the nade in the air and unable to defend themselves. They inevitably get killed, try it again get killed again, and after a few more repeats they leave the server! lol

I think that what you are asking is if ALL players will be affected if you add this command. The answer is, No. Even though the '4' key is bound to +smoke for all players by default. ONLY those that actually type "/+smoke" in the console will be affected. Other players can still use the '4' key to throw smoke and will not be affected.

hahahahahaha....LMAO! Maybe someone should start up an Anti-Stupid site

Thank you MaydaX, for all the work that you put in for this site! It is appreciated by many! :woot:

You're welcome! :D Interesting problem.... I've played around with it a bit trying to find a way to kick for it or block it. Couldn't find a way to do that. As you stated +Smoke is not a CVAR that you need to enter a specific value for. But, I did discover that if you put this line in your pbsvuser.cfg, it will screw up the game for any offenders that type "/+smoke" in their console. PB_SV_CVAR +smoke IN 0 0 (you need both zero's with a space between - maybe that's why it didn't work for the poster in the other forum you linked to) Whenever they try to throw a grenade (Frag or Smoke) It causes their arm to freeze in the air, grenade in their hand, without any weapon....hahaha If they hit "ESC" or "~" it will release the grenade, but this will be very annoying and disconcerting for them. lol :D Now, of course, if the abusers NEVER throw any nades, they won't encounter this nice annoyance. But, who doesn't throw nades in CoD2? :rolleyes: It will continue this behavior, unless & until they completely exit the game and restart it. Players that don't type "+smoke" in their consoles are not affected. Try it out and see if this little "fix" meets your needs. Hope it helps......

Not sure what you are asking - Do you want to just see if they have typed that command in the console, or do you want to block them from using that command?

I agree! Looks very nice - nice and clean, and loads faster for me, too! Good job, MaydaX! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HSMagnet! Hope you have a good one! :D

Great idea! :D I usually just Ban them.... :P

I agree with you folks. I have all the CoD games with the exceptions of MW2 and BO. Those two killed it for me. I will not buy any future CoD games if they are just more of the same garbage...... :(

These are the values that I have set in my pbsv.cfg: pb_sv_cvarlogging 1 //[1=Reg. Log, 2=Var Log, 3=Both, 0=Neither]Default = 1 NOT 2! pb_sv_cvarwalk 2 //[0=disabled, 1-4=Walk through obtained Cvar lists]Default = 0 lower value = less checking pb_sv_cvarchangedpulse 50 // 10-90 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled Default = 99 pb_sv_cvaruserpulse 50 //[Frequency to auto-send CvarUser (minutes)]Default = 99 higher value = less checking, 99=disabled pb_sv_cvarfreq 3 // 2-10 higher value = more checking, may cause lag Default = 6 pb_sv_Restrictions 2 //[0=No, 1=Yes 2=Restrict Macros(default=1)] Also, check this line in your pbsvuser.cfg: pb_sv_UpdateGrace 300 //[seconds to wait before Update Failure kick] This is supposed to affect the time allowed for a player to update their PB before being kicked, but maybe it also affects the time for CVAR violations??? Hope this helps.....

It sounds like PunkBuster is not enabled on your server. Contact your server provider and request that PB be enabled. Hope it's as simple as that........

Had to laugh at this.... Err..Wait! WAsn't it Activision/Blizzard that published CoD:Modern Warfare 2? :scratchchin: :D :P Ya, right!! http://blog.games.yahoo.com/blog/141-game-over-for-online-cheaters No mention of PunkBuster.....

Try adding this command: pb_sv_enablekicks 1 btw - the kick doesn't happen immediately following the warning. It gives the player about 5 minutes to change their settings before kicking them. Hope that helps.....

You're Welcome! :D The format is like this: // *********************************************** // CVAR Checks // *********************************************** //Clear CVAR Checks pb_sv_cvarempty pb_sv_cvar com_maxfps IN 44 250 pb_sv_cvar cl_maxpackets IN 30 100 pb_sv_cvar rate IN 5000 25000 pb_sv_cvar snaps IN 20 40 Use IN to specify a range you want the cvar/dvar inside of. Use OUT to specify a range you want the cvar/dvar to be outside of. No "quotes" necessary... If a player comes on your server, and is not within the limits you have set, they will receive a warning message to change the cvar/dvar that is out of range. If they don't change it in 5 minutes, they will be kicked automatically.

You can easily do what you describe in your pbsvuser.cfg file. Start with this guide - it will set up the PBBans CVAR/DVAR and MD5 Tool checks. http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-cvarmd5guide.html From there you can change, add or delete your pbsvuser.cfg settings to your liking...

Some of the more common programs that can cause "Disallowed Program Driver" are: Steam - Disable "Ingame Community Chat" in settings TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, or Mumble overlays - Disable EVGA Precision - Disable ATI Tray Tools - Disable Riva Tuner - Disable Fraps - Update to latest version

Hi Botax - Thanks for that information. Both points make sense! :D +1

Just speculating..... If he is hosting the server himself (Not using a game server provider), then players would be connecting through his router. His router might show the MAC addresses of connected players. He might then "ban" their MAC addresses (by Blocking those MAC addresses in his router).
