If it was a PB issue kicking your players we would be inundated with similar type queries. That's my take on it.

Was there no reason for the kicks in the pbsv.log All your respective servers are streaming ok here so no clue as such.

The website attached to your team account appears to be no longer active. Do you have an update for us. Read our streaming requirements here; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82423

We have a deal with TWL whereby they can add servers to a TWL league team account that is run by TWL admins. This deal was brokered so that small groups who did not meet the mandatory streaming requirements demanded by PBBans could still play competitively over at TWL. The downside is that you would not get the access levels that a streaming admin would normally get at PBBans. If you have a deadline to meet the best thing would have been to apply way before said deadline so potential problems can be ironed out. The other way is to contact a league admin at TWL, tell them you have a server that needs adding to the TWL league team account and settle for that.

Re run the automated hub set up and lets see were we go from there; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html Obviously with 1 server streaming and the other not, the problem is definitely at your end of things.

You are now set as the team account master user (not sure why you were not) I added your server to the team account and its streaming nicely. All relevant forum access upgrades etc have been applied. The contact e-mail has been changed to yours.

You always have choices ;) Try playing on servers that have PB disabled and see how long it takes you to get mad. Try playing on servers that have PB enabled and see how long it takes you to get mad. Try playing on servers that have PB+PBBans protection and see how long it takes you to get mad. Actually go mad and just play VAC protected games :P

Just a tiny amount of research would have revealed to you that the PunkBuster™ default "punishment for any pbguid that raises a cheat related violation is a 2 minute kick. It's left to the proactive server admin or anti cheat site to apply bans on those same pbguids. If you receive a ban on 1 PBBans protected server you are automatically banned off every PBBans protected server of the same game genre. Pbbans also provides MD5 scans / cheat file matches / cheat cvar scans ,and accepts demo's (were applicable) and screenshot evidence to support any ban issued, there's lot more besides all that, but you get the idea (I hope) http://www.pbbans.com/about-pbbans.html

All's well that ends well :P

There are other things in common with your servers. They are both from Gameservers. Both are running BF3. Disable PB on one and see what happens :P

You can delete the incorrect server address from your team account yourself via account manager. ***update*** I worked out that your none streaming server 109.70.149.55:47230 should actually have been 109.70.149.55:25230 I have added 109.70.149.55:25230 to your team account and its is streaming nicely. I have left the wrong IP address (109.70.149.55:47230) in your team account so you can see were you went wrong. Delete it via account manager at your leisure.

Run the automated hub set up again; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html If your server still fails to stream, post up in one of the private forum sections.

@ all. If your server(s) are not streaming, run the automated hub set up; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html If your server still fails to stream, please post up in one of the private forum sections.

Not without a team account you wont :P http://www.pbbans.com/streaming-application.html

Run the automated hub set up again if your servers are still not streaming; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html

If your servers are still not streaming, run the automated hub set up again. http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html

Run the automated setup on your servers again and see if things improve.

Optimize the flags you have checked for your server. If you have the "enforce bans" flag checked there is no need to have any "accept" flags checked. This means the Hub checks every incoming players pbguid against the PBBans MBi, if the incoming players pbguid is a match, the player does not make it onto your server. Checking the "enforce bans" flag and not having any "accept" flags checked means that valuable server resources are saved (the Hub does the checking and not the server) and the server pbbans.dat can be used to store locally applied bans that have been set by the server administrators. If using the "enforce bans" flag it's best practice to download the PBBans banlist for your particular game, once a week, to keep on your pc as back up in case Hub streaming goes down (a very rare event but it has happened in the past) http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-overview-bf3-ov41.html Source info: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#hubflags

Sometimes things take a bit longer than the usual 24 - 48 hours because applicants keep making applications without resolving the issues that caused the original application to be denied in the first place. In addition to that, every applicant has to be checked out, every clan member on the applicants roster is also checked out. Our policy is to give cheaters, and groups that harbor them, absolutely nothing, there are various other checks involved that are applied to each and every application hence the 24 - 48 hour time frame. Now that your correct BF3 guid has been attached to your latest application things can progress. Just as a side note, you will find the staff and fellow server admins a valuable source of information for all things PB and server administration related, but they do tend to ignore requests for assistance that contain as much profanity as what I have seen typed by you thus far. Please remember, in the faceless world of internet forums etc, we are what we type, and people make judgements of character based on that.

At least it took a lot less time to get you sorted this time around Yogi :)

http://www.pbbans.com/forums/finding-your-server-ip-t152938.html Always remember; The rcon port for setting up streaming. The game port for adding to your team account.

A method of finding if you have added a server to your team account with the correct port is; Go to battlelog. Open the server browser. Type in the server name into the browser search facility (in your case Frankfurter Rummsbude) When your server is showing, right click and view page source. Use control + F to search the page source info and type in your server IP (in your case 85.236.105.7) You should get 2 hits The second hit will show mapmode / numplayers / maxplayers / updatedat / port By using this method I can tell that the server you added to your team account has the correct port for streaming (85.236.105.7:21167) So the problem of none streaming is at your end. Have you tried running the automated streaming set up; http://www.pbbans.com/automated-streaming-setup.html (you use the rcon port to do this) or http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#frostbitercon or http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#frostbitegui Post back here if your still having a problem and we will try and find a solution for you :)
