    Soldier of Fortune II Authentication Server Disabled

    I dont quite understand Yourself4's post.

    Streamed info that is sent to the PBBans EvenBalance repository is "live" thus 100% true and definitely not edited in any shape or form..

    That same statement goes for any Anti Cheat repository.

    As stated before, the smelly stuff will hit the fan when that single pbguid that is generated by this world wide distributed cd key picks up a ban violation.

    Server admins will be placed in the position of keeping their current guidrelax setting of 0 or setting guidrelax 7 .. its the change in guidrelax settings that will effectively neuter PB and create open house for the real cheaters.

    Like any self repecting AC site, PBBans strives to keep innocent players off our Master Ban Index .. if this new cd key picks up a ban violation it will make that position untenable imo.

    Lets play the waiting game and see how things pan out .. some hard decisions will be faced by all sof2 admins in the near future but as long as PB supports sof2 we here at PBBans will continue to do our best to support the game at our end. :)

    Newbie question...

    your Hub streaming is activated and streaming nicely :)

    go here click me select your game and generate a banlist .. you can copy/paste any bans you currently have in your pbbans.dat into the large window and then click "create ban list"

    All duplicates will be parsed out.

    This creates a shiny new pbbans.dat that you then place into your root pb folder (overwrite your current pbbans.dat)

    You do this once only and all other bans will be added automatically via the Hub.

    I see your server as "new server" waiting to be added to the rep.

    I need your chosen username and password befor streaming can be initiated (for security purposes)

     

    as an alternative you might want to consider streaming via the PBBans Hub - all this requires is 5 rcon commands:

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use

    /rcon pb_sv_restart

    /rcon pb_sv_USessionLimit 2

    /rcon pb_sv_uconadd 1 63.171.64.245 pbbans pbbans

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg

    you should have received a mail but i'll explain here too.

     

    Clan/Group Tag: hax.

    Clan/Group/League Name: hax.

    Clan/Group/League Website: www.haxclan.com

     

    inappropriate clantag for PBBans and not a very good piece of public relations for a clan with such a tag to be using our service.

    as long as your clantag is hax - streaming request denied.

    they have deliberatly distributed it with one key. hopefully pb support will not be dropped for a long time yet.

    btw i have replied asking how activisions choice to use 1 key is part of evenbalances eula. evenbalance are not at fault here and inplying that its there responsability is out of order.

    hey goody :)

    Thanks for keeping us updated m8, appreciated. :)

    The point I was trying to get across was, any game dev with the slightest idea of how PB works would never issue a game release that used the same cd key.

    All past issues of sof2 have had a unique cd key and I lean towards an administrative cock up as to why this latest issue has the same cd key.

    The decision to turn off the auth master server was probably made by Activision as a form of damage limitation and whoever made that decision was probably unaware of how PB works and how important it is that each genuine game cd has its own unique cd key.

    your server does not show as "new server" waiting to be added to the rep.

    This means there is an error at your end.

    Things to check in your root pb folder:

     

    that a pbsvlog.cfg exists

     

    that the pbsvlog.cfg contains the following info:

    pb_sv_LogAddr 63.171.64.22 // this never changes

    pb_sv_LogPort 24389 // this never changes

    pb_sv_LogUser USERNAME

    pb_sv_LogPw PASSWORD

     

    (username and pass are chosen by you and should be passed to a staff member via forum pm)

     

    that the command line:

    pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg has been added to your pbsv.cfg

     

    and last but not least that a pb_sv_restart has been executed via rcon

     

    just repost here when your ready for another check :)

     

    as an alternative you might want to consider streaming via the PBBans Hub - all this requires is 5 rcon commands:

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use

    /rcon pb_sv_restart

    /rcon pb_sv_USessionLimit 2

    /rcon pb_sv_uconadd 1 63.171.64.245 pbbans pbbans

    /rcon pb_sv_writecfg

     

    hf and good luck :)
