Nope... not any sites that work as good as PBScreens.com (for Battlefield games at least).

According to a post on the G-Portal forums they do support PBscreens.com via FTP: Souce: https://www.g-portal.com/forum/thread/46-howto-rent-and-config-an-battlefield-3-4-hardline-server/?postID=118#post118

The PBBans Master Player Index is similar to the ACI History Tool; it just shows the same info differently. Ofcource you can submit PBSS to PBBans as long as the screenshots are streamed by gameservers that stream to PBBans. See: https://account.pbbans.com/pbss.php

I see... it's in the "Steaming Admin" section of the forums. Seems "Streaming Lite" has no access to that. It's worth the read if you ever become a "Full Streaming" member. ;)

@Hodor I suggest you read these topics about ACI: https://www.pbbans.com/forums/fyi-on-aci-t185742.html http://metabans.net/showthread.php?3263-ACI-Staff-threatens-streaming-admins-who-both-stream-to-ACI-amp-Metabans It's a fun read... :)

Don't play on 'official' BF4 servers. These type of servers are full of cheaters. These servers cannot enforce bans from PBBans / GGC / ACI / Metabans. Play on RANKED servers.

I've been using this program since it was released, so no... it will not 'trigger anything' Punkbuster related.

There is already such a list, but it's only accessible for streaming admins. EDIT: PS: I think you overestimate the amount of cheaters in BF4 You have no idea how many players I get on my servers who call-out cheaters / hackusate players who are just better. There are more "hackusators" than actual hackers / cheaters.

Nice fail from Cloudflare! It's good to see you guys use Let's Encrypt now :)

I really liked this trailer and I'm looking forward to this WW1 setting. About server rentals: It wouldn't make sense if they don't offer server rentals. I have it on good authority the PC server rental program has made MILLIONS for EA/DICE with BF3 & BF4. In fact, the PC community is paying the console server bills and they still make a huge profit. Ditching that strategy would be plain stupid and would be really costly. It will also make the game less successful on PC when clans / groups cannot run their own server. You should not compare Battlefront with Battlefield either. DICE always stated it was not their intention to make a Star Wars themed Battlefield. The target audience of Battlefront is completely different. About Punkbuster support: I would indeed not be surprised if they only go with FairFight and their report system. That would be a shame though.

Thanks for the explanation MaydaX! I was already afraid some certain season had started again... ;)

If I'm correct this doesn't work with BF4 (or BF3). All PBSS are dead center. The best settings you find here: http://www.pbbans.com/mci-view-bf4-pbsv-44.html

Well, he is banned by GGC with their MD5 checks. So you can safely say this player has been cheating. Nothing more to add really...

Great! Seems to work fine for i3D & PBscreens. Had to search this topic for the correct PBScreens link though (for all BF3 & BF4 servers) and had to guess which PBscreens cookie (PHPSESSID) I had to use. You might want to add info this to the original post.

No, it seems to be broken (changed by i3D again?). Both these links do not work: https://customer.i3d.net/gameservers/gameserver-punkbuster.php?gsid=268456&file=/pbsvss.htm This one does download files, named as png's but they are in fact the HTML page over and over again ;) https://customer.i3d.net/gameservers/pb-screenshot.php?server=268456&file=/pbsvss.htm Only does 0 byte png's

You mean, i3D & PBscreens.com scanning? If you have the time... Yes! Pretty please with sugar on top :)

Seems to work now. Would it be possible to save the user agent, or add it to the options? edit: sorry, didn't see your question before.

Thanks. Reset. And yeah that's windows 10. Also tried it on Windows 7, same issue... :( Error on Win 7 2015-08-09 14:50:50 org.jsoup.HttpStatusException: HTTP error fetching URL.

Hmm, can you reset my session? Had to 'force close' it last try :)

I have the correct cookie and correct value. The cookie was set just seconds before... Doesn't matter if I use the cookie value from Firefox or Chrome.

Hey Singh, Good to see you're still around :) So I did update my version with only the .exe since I already had the PBSS.db file. But after that it did not show me the BF3 servers any more. I've tried to update the serverlist, using the cloudflare cookie which was set in my browser. But it does not seem to update at all. It was stuck at: 14:45:48 Connecting to GameTracker... 14:45:48 Retriving Game IDs... So I copied the PBSS.db file and BF3 servers were showing again. But I'm still unable to refresh that list... 14:43:59 Scraping Server Addresses... Any idea how to fix this?

Look at that: PBSS submission for Lite streaming :)

Since this seems like a local game server ban, there is nothing any one can do about it.

Sure you can ban any one you don't like, but with this flimsy 'evidence' you should not have added the ban to Metabans. It's just wrong and it shows your bad adminship.

The first source was the open beta and I have it confirmed by the DICE Anti Cheat team that indeed the players have new GUIDs.
