Streaming isn't supported yet. Still a show stopper bug with the PB logs that needs to be fixed first.
Additional info:
The only people that can apply a fix are EvenBalance so we are totally dependent on them getting their proverbial act together.
Advance notice was supplied re this issue and as yet nothing has been done.
We are as frustrated as you but its totally out of our hands :angry:

You have recently been added to team account #11599 by SpartanSoul.
There is a level 3 IP restriction enabled on server 72.9.97.44:27960, it will probably be this that is kicking you .. solution = Disable this feature.

Can you please elaborate further on the SGA status? I filled out an application today and my servers are streaming PB. I fully support this community and place allot of faith in the PB product to catch cheaters and hackers. I'm interested in enjoying all the services and privileges within this site that I'm allowed to experience. Please let me know what else I have to do to get this kind of access. Thank you in advance. Peace.
The onus is on you to keep track of any team account application that you have made.
Your application was denied;

Another application was deleted without being processed because the applicant appears to be on the PBBans Master Ban Index (MBI)
http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-af54da39-vb126886.html
SOFWCrash has a restricted user forum account that gives him a totally private environment to discuss the ban.
If you have any further queries you can also post up in a totally private environment here;

Another "HomeFront" type debacle is looming on the horizon
Game devs / community managers etc etc seem to go around with blinkers on, especially so when it comes to anti cheat measures.
-
Yea.. but how much if it is DICE going after CoD, or is it EA that's causing this. I am thinking EA. Anyways, even with the latest announcement from MW3... BF3 still looks much more appealing.
With MW3 having just one drawback (no PB) and BF3 having a list of drawbacks (read above) and lets not forget that no one knows if BF3 will stream as it should because no one has had an opportunity to test it.
MW3 is looking more appealing than ever when I compare the 2 games.
If that annoying little runt fourzerotwo and his cronies, took a peek at what happened to Homefront when it relied soley on VAC, just maybe they would experience a miraculous enlightenment re anti cheat.
Thats just my opinion of course :P
-
DICE used to be cool, now they want to knock COD out of the top spot after seeing all the success that Activision/IW/Treyarc/Sledgehammer have. I have a feeling, that if I was allowed into a board meeting with DICE I'd be kicked out not to long after
They had just the game to do that as well with BF3, but seem to be trying their utmost to cock the chance up in one way or another (no unranked server files, battlelog, no in game menu, not able to connect to a server via ip etc) :blink:
On the flip side, MW3, based on what I have seen so far, may have just trumped BF3 at the last minute (the one big drawback for MW3 is no PB) .. be interesting to see how it all pans out :scratchchin:
My personal opinion is MW3 would have retained top spot for the COD series without too much effort if PB was offered to run in conjunction with VAC, or as an alternative to VAC, but even without PB its going to be a pretty close second to BF3 ... and thats dependent on EA/DICE springing no more surprises :P

RO2 = pb & pbbans supported , vac , modding , free dlc [maps] . Graphics are dated but wtf everything else a gamer/clan could want is there & Tripwire/Developer is actively supportive . Hopefully this will take a noticeable chunk of $ out of the devs for other profit squeezing companies or @ least enough to force them to take notice of what the community really wants & is willing to buy . We're all in & hope to see many other groups & players support a real multi-player experience .
+1 for that idaho .. well said :)
A nostalgic sentiment perhaps .. but one I fully concur with.
-
VAC has a big advantage over anything else ...it's absolutely free :P
It always brings the old adage to mind;
"You get what you pay for."
They should offer server admins the "perk" of choosing VAC or PB or both ..... now that really would be an innovative step forward for MW3 and Activision/infinity ward/sledgehammer.
If the devs of RO2:HOS can do it, the question must be asked ... why cant all game devs do it :scratchchin:

But if it means u guys remove the Bans related to the seperated 's', how does it come that evenbalance is still not accepting the fact this error is caused by PB. I need that acceptance so i could convince the GCC staf to remove my ban (with nickname Poffa s). Or is this site and PB and Evenbalance just a total diffrent thing?
Hi Poffa :)
PBBans is a third party anti cheat site staffed by volunteers.
We are also gamers and in a situation like this a modicum of common sense should be applied.
The aimbot violation #50074 caused by players with a seperated s at the end of their ingame alias is a simple thing to replicate (e.g. Poffa s) and as such PBBans thinks its unsafe and unethical to issue a ban based on a quite obvious detection pattern error.
Because its so easy to replicate, we added #50074 to the exempt list on our systems and it will not be taken off the exempt list untill EB confirm that the issue is resolved and we have tested it out ourselves.
What other anti cheat sites do is entirely out of our control but at PBBans quality always takes precedence over anything else, and enforcing a ban because a player has a seperated s at the end of their ingame alias is not a quality decision by any stretch of the imagination.
PBBans has been in contact with EB staff re this issue, and several members of staff raised a #50074 aimbot violation on their own COD2 cd keys whilst assisting EB to track down the reason why this particular detection pattern is flawed.
I have asked today if there is an update re this issue and am awaiting a reply.

server is streaming now, thank you fozzer!

Your team account has a server attached to it (206.217.135.66:28960) that is not configured correctly for Hub streaming.

oh i thought it did, I saw some spam about pbbans streaming. well nvm so thanks for your help :)
Server 85.131.247.9:28680 =GFC=German-Clan by Professional-Gameserver.com
Does not even have PB enabled at the moment, and it is certainly not in our systems.
After doing a quick check of that group, they do not even qualify for a team account with PBBans because they have several cheaters within their group.

PBBans cheat related cvar scans, MD5 scans and Cheat File Matches are intentionally configured to be "lean and mean"
Other anti cheat sites are not so ergonomically friendly with their scans, so if you stream to other AC sites and intergrate the scans and bind searches etc that are employed by anyone other than PBBans, you run the risk of a potential flood issue.
There is also the issue that other anti cheat services spam the command pb_sv_md5toolempty at least on a daily basis, that results in all MD5 scans getting wiped in order for that particular anti cheat site to load their own scans and no one elses.

i have the same problem....pnkbstra.exe and i am "kicked"!!! i tried to check if my firewall allows pb but the only option i found is for bf ....i did not find the option "punkbuster".Any help???
Here is all we have on this issue;

As far as I am aware punkbuster updates for BF2142 are only available for the full game and not 2142 Demo servers.
Also as far as I am aware this post is still valid;

Hello,
this is getting strange now.
Our BC2 gameserver was shut down by our provider by fault. When it came back after some days with the same IP and port settings (213.163.68.139:19569) I did set up streaming again.
But after two weeks he is still displayed as not streaming.
The server even disappeared from our team account and i had to put it back in.
Streaming to Punksbusted runs smoothly, Ucon is configured on Punkbuster startup. Heardbeat and everything else too.
A small logfile is attached.
How can I help to get this thing up again?
At the moment your team account looks like this;
*************************************************************** Team: Sa(T)an$Inc. (Sa(T)an$) Account ID: 10911 Streaming Status: Not Streaming (0 / 1) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BFBC2 - 213.163.68.139:19569 --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- SaTansShredder (162418)
The server that you added to your team account contains a typo.
The correct server address is 213.163.68.189:19569
I have added the correct server address to your team account for you (213.163.68.189:19569) its streaming nicely.
I have left the incorrect server on your team account so you can see were the error was made.
You can delete it yourself at your leisure :)
**update**
Your team account after the correct server address was added:
*************************************************************** Team: Sa(T)an$Inc.

PBBans applies bans to pbguid's that have been used to cheat.
PBGUID 79c3422edb9c082e23b56b2d80238a2d was definitely used to cheat with.
The cheat file was detected via a routine PBBans MD5 scan (exact match in our cheat database)
ESL is not one of our supported leagues so your issue with them, is nothing to do with us.
However, although the dirty pbguid has been used exclusively by a player, or players, in Germany from 2 different ISP's, there is a chance that the cd key /pbguid was stolen or maybe shared with a "friend" at some stage, so you have been set as a registered forum member with a full member forum account because it was not your IP/ISP that raised the cheat violation.
The ban was raised by someone with a totally different IP and using a different ISP than you.
You appealed the ban using the IP / ISP your posting from on here.
The issued ban will remain on our Master Ban Index (MBI)
What ESL choose to make of it all is their affair.

I am well aware that alpha testing is more for stress testing the new product.
What concerns me more than anything is that the server files have already been leaked despite the low number of alpha participants that had acess to those server files.
Anyone with an inkling of anti cheat knows what happens when server files are leaked and who profits most from said leaks.
I dont think I have to spell it out to anyone .... well, I take that back ... maybe EA need it spelling out to them, and it should also be pointed out how important it is to at least get trusted anti cheat representatives access to the server files prior to retail release so some preventive measures can be taken immediately the game goes "live".
The beta stage will soon be upon us for ironing out glitches and bugs, I just wish I was part of the pre retail release stages so I would have some input on the game itself.
I will be buying it come what may because even if it was like a polished, smooth running bfbc2 game, that sounds like nirvana to me :P
-
Niether choice works.
EA/DICE has their "trusted providers"...Acti/Treyarch went with one provider route, yet there are still people running hacks in Blops.
Its been said 10,000 times, but fix the pb_ss and see the above argument go away. And while I continue to dream, give us a demo, and we will clean up what pb_ss cant see.
butt
My point is that the "trusted providers" leak like a sieve and anti cheat sites like PBBans are not "trusted" at all.
At least get a PBBans representative in the loop so some things can be addressed prior to retail release day.
-
Well ... on a more serious subject re the BF3 Alpha Trial, the server files have already been leaked
Given that there were very few "RSP's" involved in the alpha trial maybe EA/DICE should look to tightening their own security prior to BF3 retail release date, or we can expect to see cheats released for BF3 very shortly after retail release of the game or maybe on the same day :blink:
It's when things like this happen that the resolve of people who profess to "taking cheating very seriously" is tested.
I for one will be observing what, if anything, is done by EA/DICE to plug the leak and will take particular interest in how soon cheats are released for the game after retail release.
Can someone remind me again the reasoning behind locking down server files :scratchchin:
EA/DICE need to get their act together and compile a list of "TACR's" (Trusted Anti Cheat Representatives) so we can at least have a fighting chance of;
[A] Making sure streaming works as it should do from day 1
Being able to compile preventative MD5 scans from day 1
[C] Being able to ensure that anti cheat features work flawlessly from day1.

whatever is going on between them is their issue, I only posted as to what I read, thanks for deleteting my last post, real classy... HRT has not had anything to do with QTIP since he split ways with "removed" from our clan, so please quit refering to him as [hrT]. Thanks for the good work...
For future reference.
If you have an issue re anything PBBans related, especially anything of a more "sensitive" nature.
It's always best practise to use one of our private forum sections or PM a staff member, a staff response will always be posted in the forum section it originated in.
If a topic has been originated in a general discussions section of our forums, then the final response will be posted there too after everything in the middle is pruned.
It does not matter what I did with your "last post" it was only visible to you and PBBans staff members whereas your original post was in the general discussions forum section (open to google) and its only right and proper that those self same google users have the same option to view the reply.
