Thanks for the reply surfy. Yes, as I said from searching last night - I learned that there seems to be tons of reasons why Blank SS's occur. They did confirm today that they were blank/blacked out but only said screen shot capture failed. I am aware of the codes and what they mean. I asked them specifically if they could tell me the code B0,B1,B2....all they will say is the screen shot capure failed. No codes provided. Perhaps you're right about not worrying about it and playing elsewhere. Even if I figure out what is causing the problem, they've made no mention about letting me back in the server and haven't been all that helpful with information back to me about the problem. I am concerned about this happening on other servers now that I learned about black/blank SS's. I want to set my client up to log and capture screenshots requested by servers as mentioned in my original post. This is the only way for ME to know if I'm sending out good screenshots or blank ones. It would be nice to go into a server and be on voice with the admin and have them try to capture a screenshot to let me know if it's good or blank. Does this still work (pb_sssave 1)?: ?

Hi - I'm hoping to find a solution to this problem. Last night I found that I could no longer log into a server that I have frequented on and off for a long time. The reason was: "PunkBuster kicked player 'Copey<STRIKE>' (for 5 minutes)... Bad (Disallowed) Name". After 5 minutes I received the same message. Naturally, I wanted to know why this was happening and found the website for the server to inquire what happened. I was told: "the reason why you were banned is because when you have played in two of our servers, we have been unable to take screenshots. sorry. we require screenshots from all players." I understand that and respect their rules. Even if I did not, it's their server. They pay for it and should run it the way they see fit. I've been the admin of several servers myself several years back. I've inquired to find out if it was just blank or black or nothing at all. I'm assuming it's a blank or black screen shot. Still waiting for a reply. I've been searching Google and various websites/forums for this issue. From researching this tonight, I've found that there are numerous reasons why a black or blank screen-shot could occur: http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?sho...ack+screenshots On the evenbalance website for BF2, it states that there should be a client side log file with information for screen-shots requested from servers:
