I asked them the same question

You can setup your own Database Streaming Service, basically its just a pool of informations collected by the clients, send to the webservice and been stored and shared with the servers. You can use the official PunkBuster manuals to setup: https://evenbalance.com/manuals.php The only thing is the existing Banlist Database, Signatures, Hashes you will miss, but you can create new ones. And take a look onto my other posts, maybe have some useful informations for you.

Or use automated driver installer like iOBit Driver Booster or use HWINFO32 + a Driver Pool for manual installation

G-Portal und viele der anderen Hoster haben veraltete Configs (glaube nicht dass sich das geändert hat - zuletzt 2018 genutzt) manche erlauben nicht einmal das ändern der Configs außerhalb ihrer Settings. Du kannst die pbsv von PBBans https://www.pbbans.com/master-config-index.html oder meine https://github.com/BestNoob/pbsv.cfg nutzen. Falls du keinen Zugriff auf die Config hast, füge die Settings über die Konsole hinzu - Zeile für Zeile. Überleg dir auch ob du bf4db plugin und myrcon tool hinzufügst, für BF4 und BFH gibt es mehr tools und anti cheat als nur das Streaming zu PBBans und ACI. Grüße

I updated the pbsv.cfg removed a few lines, added some more info and tweaked some settings in the config for a better work with older games. Greeds BestNoob

Have not checked them ! use at own risk but these days its hard to find public banlists... also PBBans Staffs decided to hide the full lists. Steam Web API GetPlayerBans (Steam Web API Key) VACList: https://vaclist.net/ STEAMLadder: https://steamladder.com/ladder/vac/ CMBans: https://communitybanlist.com/ BansLive: https://bans.live/

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/rtx-remix https://www.moddb.com/rtx In the past there was only ReShade or ENBSeries and/or classical HD Texture mods. Now with RTX Remix you have much more options. (mostly for SinglePlayer)

Okay because of trouble with CoD2 and CoD5 i decided to host thus 3 permanent servers. INFO: you can get PB to run also with CoD2 & CoD5, but you have to lush all the rules inside the pbsv.cfg Another option is PunkBuster without streaming to PBBans with offline files and checks (still better than without PunkBuster) America's Army: Proving Grounds NoCheater|PBBans|24/7|Maps Rotation|C4|EX|TH|VIP|AC 34.26.122.83:7778 CoD4x - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) [Noob] TDM/SD Rotation | Low Ping 130.61.71.202:28960 CoD4 (Patch 1.7 & 1.8) Call of Duty 4 NoCheater Ranked|PBBans|HPK| all Maps Rotation 129.159.12.230:28960

My Server project is BACK .... as a little Version with just 3 Game Servers: Hosted in the USA: AAPG - America's Army: Proving Grounds NoCheater|PBBans|24/7|Maps Rotation|C4|EX|TH|VIP|AC 34.26.122.83:7778 Hosted in Germany: CoD2 - Call of Duty 2 NoCheater PBBans|HPK|B3 all Maps Rotation 129.159.12.230:28960 CoD4 - Call of Duty 4 (CoD4x) NoCheater LeetMod|CoD4x|HPK|B3 all Maps Rotation 130.61.71.202

Today i have investigated 8H into checking and fixing this issue but .. no chance I had the dream to host and play a good protected CoD5 WaW Server, but it is not doable. It happens with Windows & Linux Server. cl_CGameNeedsServer Command G_FreeEntity: Player 2 is being freed. 2:PlayerName EXE_DISCONNECTED Is definily caused by streaming to PBBans, without streaming (Vanilla PunkBuster) this issues doesnt happen. I tried to tweak server,cfg , pbsv.cfg and also disabled HUB Flags to see if it is caused by ... but isnt. Its time to leave this dream behind to protect a CoD5 Serevr wit PBBans (maybe try Plutonium T4 Community Server) This time instead of Windows i used: https://linuxgsm.com/servers/codwawserver/

Update Info: At August 2024 PBBans HUB has changed to: pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.231" "pbbhub4-1" "pbbanshub" pb_sv_uconadd 1 "38.111.114.249" "pbbhub4-2" "pbbanshub"

As i know they release a new Banlist every Month.

If you want you can kick players from your servers also by namelist. So for this case or in case you want to check what names are used by cheaters lets share some banlists from other games. Take a look onto KRAFTONs banlist for PUBG https://wstatic-prod-boc.krafton.com/common/content/news/20240729/AfFwZXY0/240731_WKBL(0722_0728).pdf

*Updated Added some infos for LINUX Servers: On Linux servers you have to do the same steps but additionally copy your PunkBuster folder to "/cod4server/.callofduty4/pb/" If you dont set basepath and homepath it is creating a hidden folder (instead of the Windows AppData) but this folder is missing the needed pb files. pb_sv_writecfg pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use pb_sv_restart (wait 30 seconds until pb has been restarted)
