Fixed for you ;)

Don't worry the ISP's will be blackmailing valve for money just as they do netflix as soon as they realize how many of their customers use steam, and how much bandwidth it consumes :crazy:

for COD4 if the demo is from the in game demo system and the server is steaming then bans can be had from a demo.

I think they're going to regret buying the homefront name from THQ

Probably picked up by crytek after THQ sold off their rights to different titles

More like the witcher 3!

Well get them sorted ;)

As far as I know they do far more than spam, a large chunk of enterprise level customer facing websites sit behind one CDN or another. Doesn't this website use cloudflare? Same business model no?

you can grab any of the xml feeds, and do whatever from there. Their latest 25, 50 ban xml feeds are pretty standard. For instance, we take our team's bans, and rebuild a MBi like page on our website from one xml file. [FLOT Server Bans] We also have the rss feed of cheaters caught on our servers auto posted with the functionality built into vbulletin to automatically post feeds.

Lol reading that, I have to think it's fake. It feels like an onion article.

Titan mode returns!

It means they haven't been seen on a streaming server. Playing information is gathered from servers that stream, not just those that have PB enabled. You are doing a disservice to yourself and your own efforts by not streaming. If the player population declines from streaming you'll be able to check the kick/ban logs and see why, and for good reason why a player is kicked. (Enforced ban) You should stream your server ASAP, especially for a game such as cod4 which had one of the largest MBi records...

Let's be real any top developers attached to the botched sim city release were probably being pressured to leave. They fucked that up beyond belief.

huh? Didn't DICE just announce the same content lock? We're not working on DLC until we smooth out the kinks deal. I feel like it's just some marketing speal that they figured would boost sales and public reception. Just pitching this to save face, and now every developer is going to supposedly enter a "content lock". Please, stop being spoon fed.

I'll second PBscreens. But you should also get streaming here! PBscreens will make checking the screenshots a breeze, but more importantly once it flags a cheat screenshot, and trust me from play4free there will be more than a few, you need to get them submitted here. http://www.pbbans.com/streaming-application.html

Always laugh at people that thought it would be any other way. The next BF will be the exact same way, to expect different is fooling yourself. I enjoy the game immensely, just wish I had more time to play it.

That GUID is not banned here. Reread the message again. "Contact GGC-Stream.NET for details." http://www.ggc-stream.net/tisy/ticket/write-banappeal/game/38/guid/5812122FC3859F780BDD3CBCFD6C18E4

To report hacks/cheats, email [email protected] There's also the PBBans submission:http://www.pbbans.com/cheat-file-submission.html Otherwise, yea there's a pretty big zero tolerance stance to posting cheat sites on the public forums.

How does the server differentiate between a pb_sv_kick issued from the hub and PB running on the server? or they on an alias or slot #, from your sample flow it looks like the hub goes by an alias and PB goes by a slot number, Before we all throw our hands up can a little more testing be done.

Not that it's any consolation, but someone raising a violation will still carry a ban here right? Even if the kick fails, the log will be intact to stream.

You guys should calm down. That is some user made blog post with ranting and a sensational headline. Might as well be in a 711 checkout line. I was surprised to see Kalms still posting at FPSadmins, because that place is dead as a door nail. They are still active in the community, no matter how much server admins are butthurt that they can't yell spam people.

Hmmm, are you finding that violation kicking is off? When I enable it, it'll turn off again. I still see that PB kicking is off... PunkBuster Server: Violation Kicking is temporarily disabled per PB Master Servers So I hope you guys are looking at the streamed logs, because as far as I can tell even if someone is detected day one, we won't know it until Evenbalance flips a switch.

As far as I can tell, PB can run but it will not kick for violations. I will continually spit out that violation kicks are disabled as per the master server, which is good because most users will throw a COMFAIL #133, and won't be kicked. Think someone still needs to throw a switch.

seeing a lot of PunkBuster Server: VIOLATION (COMFAIL) #133:

and now just had one of our guys join the server so we could have the updated client files too.
