Yes it does :) We can only accept pbss from servers that stream to PBBans (except ET) for validation and authenticity purposes. I dont see you or the website listed in your profile as belonging to a team account we have in our systems. If we know who submitted the pbss we can look in the relevant forum section and check on its progress.

Punkbuster is not enabled on either of those servers :blink:

Alls well that ends well :P

72.233.113.251:19577 does not appear in the bfbc2 master browser / server. In fact no server with an IP of 72.233.113.251 appears in the bfbc2 master browser / server. Conclusion; Typo by the user (please double check your server address including the port) or Corrupt install, raise a ticket with Hypernia.

The correct procedure for this type of scenario is; Step 1. Completely remove the old server from your team account via account manager. Step 2. Add the new server to your team account again via acount manager. (It is presumed that you have already ran the Hub streaming initiation commands before adding your new server.) Looking at your team account I see both the old server IP, and the new server IP. Niether are streaming. Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BFBC2 - 68.232.161.238:19567 BFBC2 - 68.232.182.122:19567 --------------------------------------------------------------- All none streaming issues are client side, and seeing how the new server is already added to your team account, streaming will kick in instantly once you get the initiation commands correct. Just select the best method for you from here; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html

You should be able to add it now :)

The only way a bannable violation can be confirmed as valid, is if we are in receipt of the streamed log information. It appears that the server the player was detected on, only streamed to psb that means that only psb are in receipt of the streamed log information. That in turn means, that the player is only banned off psb streamed servers (if the server admin runs psb's ambl) We do have a feature here at PBBans that enforces external banlist's with a 30 minute kick and a directive to visit the anti cheat site that holds the streamed log information pertaining to the issued ban, psb have elected to block PBBans from using their 30 day old banlist that we need to enforce that feature, so are not a participating anti cheat site (the only one I might add) Any queries re the issued ban should be directed to psb. If you can convince them to allow us to use their 30 day old banlist while your there so much the better :) **update** Seeing as those professional anti cheat experts over at psb consider PBBans to be an anti cheat site run by amateurs, I would not hold my breath re any active co-operation re banlists :blink: **update2** Spot the difference; Now it reads like a more professional response :P

Great little movie :D

The correct server address is 75.102.47.9:17567 The server is added to you team account, and last streamed 2 days, 1 hour, 52 mins ago. All none streaming issues are client side. Once you get the streaming initiation commands correct, streaming will kick in instantly. Select the method of your choice from here; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html

I have made the following changes; 1. Changed the e-mail on your team account to the one you are currently using. 2. Changed your login password on your forum account. 3. Sent a mail with your username and password for your forum account. 4. Deactivated your duplicate forum account (silverpathic) You can change the forum account password to one of your choice in the normal fashion once you are logged in. I have also set your team account to "active".(no servers added to it yet)

If the server address in your post is a copy / paste job, you have used ; instead of : :scratchchin: So the correct server address is 8.9.11.73:28960 You can add servers to your team account via account manager. There is a tutorial re MD5's and cvars etc here; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-cvarmd5guide.html

Your original issue has been sorted. If you have queries of a different nature, please start another topic after you have exhausted the forum search feature :P Topic closed.

There is a known bug with RTCW, its been known about for ages. The Bug: When installing RTCW for the first time you enter the cd key off your game jewel case when prompted. So far, so good. When you patch the game / enable punkbuster, the cd key magically changes to a key that is completely different. This in turn generates a pbguid of 6068d9f9a4e1adfe304e45b8783be7d5, which shows as having tons of aliases / IP's / and players from all over the world, mostly victims of the same "game bug" The solution: Once you have installed / patched the game. Go to the options menu and check the entered cd key, I guarantee that it reveals a different cd key than the one you entered off your game jewel case. Simply change the cd key shown, to the correct one, and you should be good to go.

Our policy is to give cheaters, past and present, absolutely nothing, and that extends to full forum access. The mere fact that your posting here, means that your forum account has been validated manually by a staff member and cleared as a standard member forum account. If you had cheated in the past, you would have been moved to the restricted forum user group. As far as PBBans is concerned, based on the PBBans MPI information we have at our disposal, you're a clean player.

The situation re pbss / ingame demo recording for BFBC2 is far from ideal, that much we can all agree on :) The best thing to do is place a modicum of trust in PB software and the PBBans MD5 checks for this particular game. I have never known Evenbalance to be as proactive as they are for BFBC2, when compared to any PB enabled game that has gone before it. That alone is a huge plus for me, and I hope its a sign of things to come for all future releases. I would also hope that DICE / EB have not "given up the ghost" as it were and come up with a positive solution to the pbss / ingame demo issues.

Well, seeing as I received this little snippet off you; I decided to check out our "buggy system" because you were so adamant that your cd key had not been compromised. I downloaded the streamed logs from the server that the pbguid was first seen on (March 10 2009) Lo and behold, a simple search of the streamed log from that exact date reveals; [03.10.2009 15:58:30] ->PBSV: New Connection (slot #18) 213.148.229.100:28960 [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxe640f188] "collective" (seq 11033282) There are numerous entries in the logfile from that server, untill he left a few hours later; [03.10.2009 17:08:52] ->PBSV: Lost Connection (slot #18) 213.148.229.100:28960 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxe640f188(VALID) collective The IP of the player resolves to; Concepts ICT BV Technical Role Concepts ICT BV St. Ignatiusstraat 265 4803 ES Breda The Netherlands phone: +31 76 5221555 fax: +31 76 5310531 [email protected] Seeing as you admit to all the aliases on the MPI, I am just wondering how this player from the Netherlands used your exact pbguid and an alias that you say was used by you, a fair old time before an IP from the USA was seen using the same pbguid.

Explained all there was to explain via irc.

Alls well that ends well :)

Please read my post again Bro. You use the query port to initiate streaming via the automated setup, in your case it is; 202.60.82.51:48890 202.60.82.53:48889 Then you add the servers to your team account using the proper game port in your case it is; 202.60.82.51:19569 202.60.82.53:19568 Anyways, because you had already run the streaming initiation commands via the automated setup, your 2 servers are now streaming; *************************************************************** Team: Aussie Assassins Unit (=AAU=) Account ID: 6605 Streaming Status: Streaming (2 / 2) *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Server List --------------------------------------------------------------- BFBC2 - 202.60.82.51:19569 (Streaming) BFBC2 - 202.60.82.53:19568 (Streaming) --------------------------------------------------------------- User List --------------------------------------------------------------- pahkiller (128628)

You use the query port to initiate streaming. You add the servers to your team account using the correct game port. The 2 servers added by you to your team account still contain the query port: 202.60.82.51:48890 202.60.82.53:48889 The proper server address of both servers; 202.60.82.51:19569 202.60.82.53:19568 Solution: Completely delete the 2 servers you have added to your team account, via account manager. Then add the 2 servers, using the correct server address, to your team account, again, via account manager. It should be noted that the servers, once added, will have to be ok'd by a staff member before they will show as streaming. Current average wait time is 2 - 20 minutes :)
