Doesn't help that some expect BF3 / Crysis 2 level visuals either. http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=102154&postcount=17

Would have been better to say it can't be ran outside a server farm or something then to say people will find it too difficult to use.

First post updated with version 1.0 final release info.

Automated setup tool doesn't work because the pb commands are not on the RCON whitelist. Guide on how to setup your servers http://www.pbbans.com/forums/setup-streaming-t143866.html List of known issues with BFP4F http://www.pbbans.com/forums/known-issues-with-bfp4f-t143865.html

1) Download this pbsv.cfg file and upload it to the pb folder on your server. If you do not have access to this file on your server, ask your host to upload it for you. http://www.pbbans.com/mci-view-bfp4f-pbsv-39.html 2) You may have to restart the server twice so that the pbucon.use file is created. I've added a pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use statement in the above config since you can't send it through RCON. 3) Because of the streaming bug, you will need to join the server to enable streaming every time it restarts. 4) When adding the server IP to our site be sure to use the game port and not the RCON port. It's typically in the 16000-20000 range. If you have PB client logs enabled don't use the IP shown because that is broken too. That's basically the only way to get a server streaming because of the bugs and limitations.

1) PB commands executed through RCON will not work because they are not whitelisted. 2) A freshly started server will not stream until a player joins. It will continue to stream until it's restarted. Fixed 3) The server IP shown in the PB client logs is incorrect. It always shows as 62.247.128.100:1234. 4) Also the 62.247.128.100:1234 server IP bug affects PBSS as well. That will cause errors when submitting PBSS to PBBans for the data extraction part. 5) Many players are linked by a common IP in our MPi which in many cases happens to be the UCON source IP. This has resulted in PBBans ignoring player IP's that match the current UCON profile.

Actually it will be 100% failure rate as BF3 doesn't have DX9. Unless ofc it will be fixed for BF3.

http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ A list of 550,000+ users and md5 encoded passwords were stolen. As always it would be wise to change any passwords that you use which are the same as your BF Heroes one. Old or current.

Few examples of how quickly PunkBuster can detect cheaters: Bad Company 2 - Day 1 (MD5 Tool) http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-606fb0e9-vb161738.html Bad Company 2 - Day 3 (VIOLATION (GAMEHACK) 80474) http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-4a17e4f2-vb161966.html Medal of Honor - Day 2 (VIOLATION (AIMBOT) 50120) http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-e4e635fc-vb192444.html Actually Tripwire may have set a new standard depending on how well PB and VAC works together for RO2. If people canceled pre-orders over PB then that's their loss. Pointless move when you have the option to disable PB. Bottom line both PB and VAC can be slow when banning cheaters but it's the admin tools such as PBSS, CVAR checks, MD5 Checks, streaming ability etc etc that makes PB a better solution.
