Thank you very much for that glowing review of what PBBans is all about :) Although we have thousands of streaming servers and thousands of team accounts our users frequently need reminding that we exist solely on donations from satisfied admins and members. Your reaction to streaming a server via PBBans for the first time is exactly the reaction we hope to achieve from all who use our services, and every penny, of every donation, gets ploughed back into the upkeep of PBBans hardware and server hosting costs. Donations are what have kept PBBans ad free since 2003, and every single donation, no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated. The only thing that is absolutely free of charge is the time and effort that the PBBans staff put in, but it's feedback like yours that makes it all worthwhile :) Thank you

Now I am in receipt of the actual name that you were trying to enter I can see that you have created a duplicate forum account, to apply for another team account. Remember this one; *************************************************************** Team: Veteran Elite Tactical Squad (=VE=) Account ID: 1483 Streaming Status: Not Streaming (0 / 0) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- dobbs (113368) nipper (113011) Granted, it's been a while since you logged into it. You should have mentioned right at the start that you had an existing team account and provided me with the actual name you were trying to input. Now, our rules are 1 forum account per person and 1 team account per group. So what do want to keep ? dobbs or dobstar .. once we have sorted that out we will move on to your existing team account.

Whats up, don't you believe me :rolleyes: What is the exact name you are talking about here ?

Yes, but you would have to be removed from #5304 first and the streaming requirements would apply to your new application; Read our streaming requirements here; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82423 A much simpler solution is to stay were you are and add any additional servers to 5304. Just to clarify things :) Our rules are very simple, one forum account per person and one team account per group. If we come across duplicate team accounts, its always the least active that gets locked down, that is why 3659 was the one that was locked down.

You can stream both on the team account that is now the active team account for http://www.tewclan.co.uk (#5304) zebouk has now been set to team account master and the contact e-mail set to his. Any further changes to #5304 can be initiated by zebouk *************************************************************** Team: The European Warriors (TEW) Account ID: 5304 Streaming Status: Streaming (2 / 2) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BF3 - 193.93.47.24:25200 (Streaming) BF3 - 85.236.100.34:20467 (Streaming) --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- trackpin (104378) zebouk (120883) claybuster (134609)

I have activated your team account so you should now be able to add servers to it, because you have had a team account since August 2008 and despite the fact you only streamed for 3 months, I will take it on trust that you will provide a viewable roster on your website. This can be something as simple as a pinned forum topic listing every player that represents your group by wearing your tags.

Activated.

According to battletracker there are close to 12,000 BF3 servers online, and battlelog shows just a random 150 of them :blink: You could not make it up could you.

What a journey :P Tell MP that we have done their job for them ... well done all.

They have had that many issues from customers re streaming, they should really be expert by now :P Some light reading fo ya; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/bf3-mpuk-streaming-big-bat-time-t148219.html http://www.pbbans.com/forums/cant-get-our-bf3-streaming-to-work-t148284.html

Please make sure your RSP has allowed UDP to the game server port from ports 40000 - 50000 Who is your RSP by the way.

You use the rcon port to set up streaming and the actual join port when adding a server to a team account. TA #11725 Are you absolutely sure that you have the correct port for your server added to your team account (85.236.100.79:20477) Please check what ports your RSP has allotted to you.

Adding server is something you can do yourself via account manager. I have added your server to your team account for you; *************************************************************** Team: bande de potes (=B2P=) Account ID: 5701 Streaming Status: Streaming (1 / 1) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BF3 - 91.121.53.248:25200 (Streaming) --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- dadjah (137956) Admin=B2P= (169127)

Sorted on irc. Typo in the server address. Thanks to Pisi-Deff :)

Who told you that 19567 was the join port ? Or did you just make that assumption because it's similar to a BF2 join port.

@ all. Ever hear of the troubleticket system that is employed by evenbalance the creators of PunkBuster

Are you using the admin/rcon port when using the automated streaming set up ? Have you used the join port when adding the server to your team account ? If you are absolutely sure about the ports (please confirm exactly whats what with your RSP) and the automated set up is not working; Have you tried a manual method of getting your server streaming ? http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#frostbitercon http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#frostbitegui After you have exhausted all those options, post back here and let us know the result. Here is the experience of another multiplay user; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/bf3-mpuk-streaming-big-bat-time-t148219.html

I have deleted the duplicate for you. The reason you could not do it yourself is because you have insufficient permissions. Read this to find out the full story; http://www.pbbans.com/forums/user-permissions-for-the-account-system-added-t145100.html Solution: Have the team account Master User (SnakeEyes-2142) reset your permissions.

Yep, awfully strange how many times we have asked our admins to make sure their RSP has allowed UDP to the game server port from ports 40000-50000, and then by some magical mystery the problem server starts streaming even though the RSP claim to have done nothing to make this happen :scratchchin: It is close to halloween, so maybe that explains these magical, spooky happenings on our admins BF3 servers :P Welcome back to the streaming admin fold UniBoNGeR :)

2 things spring to mind here; 1. you added a server with the rcon port instead of the game port. 2. The IP of your server (208.122.49.58) also appears as the IP of a BFP4F player in the PBBans MPi. Solution: Ask your server provider for another IP for your server. Run the set up for streaming using the rcon port (default 47200) Add the server to your team account using the actual game port (default 25200)

Just because they are a ranked server provider, it is dangerous to make an assumption that they know what they are talking about, especially were PB and streaming are concerned :)

Think your frustrated over this and similar issues yogi ... you should be sitting were I am at the moment mate Ask multiplay if they have allowed UDP to the game server port from port 40000-50000 This is required because BF3 uses windows 2008 or later and the firewall is more advanced than previous windows versions.
