First thing to establish is that PB is fully updated and working properly. Latest PB Versions Server Client America's Army v1.739 v2.149 | A1371 What is the server response to this rcon command; admin pb_sv_ver If you get the correct response, send via rcon these commands, one line at a time; admin pb_sv_writecfg pbucon.use admin pb_sv_restart Wait for PB to restart (Approx 10-30 seconds) admin pb_sv_USessionLimit 8 admin pb_sv_uconadd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub admin pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver pb_sv_task 0 86400 pb_sv_update admin pb_sv_AutoUpdBan 1 admin pb_sv_writecfg Then send via rcon; admin pb_sv_uconlist The correct response from the server should be; PunkBuster Client: [Slot] [Type] [Mask] [Name] PunkBuster Client: 1 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub PunkBuster Client: End of PB UCON Profile List (1 Entry)

A special arrangement has been made for clans who compete in TWL and have no clan website. Contact rogue (the lead anti cheat manager for TWL) and he will set you up. :)

Punkbuster needs to be enabled for any streaming commands to take effect. If I remember rightly, there was an issue re PB and the NQ mod, might be worth taking a peek on their forums.

Maybe to screw cheaters with :P

I dont see you as team account master/member on PBBans systems, what is your team account ID number ?

What compounds the problem is that every game cd key you have used is leaked on the internet and has either been used by someone else to cheat or has been globally banned by EvenBalance. If more server admins were proactive with their guidrelax settings, or if EB fixed the guidrelax issue, you would have difficuilty finding a PB enabled server to play on. solution: Buy your own copy of the game and move on.

Streaming will kick in instantly once you get the initiation commands right :) Try using this method to initiate streaming: http://www.pbbans.com/webtool.php or this one: http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-hubguide.html#bf2cc Use the server checker on our main website(left hand menu) to see if you have done it correctly.

Either by mistake or by deliberation Activision released a re-issue of sof2 in 2006 and every copy had the same cd key. This meant that anyone who bought a re-issued game, brand new, would have the same pbguid because the pbguid is a hash of the game cd key. It was only a matter of time before that cd key would be associated with a cheat. The Activision solution was to turn off the master server. I am not saying that this is the case here, but its a possible explanation to your dilema. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23137

Rather than wait for the auto updater to kick in, I manually updated your status. :)

What if an admin on the server spotted you just after you were thrown into the wall. Are you saying you should be banned ?

The cd key you use has been globally banned by EvenBalance, if thats what your wanting to know.

If your clan play in TWL league/ladder competitions then the server must be streaming to PBBans. This server is/was currently streaming via the TWL AAO account. I would suggest you take this up with the relevant TWL administrator(Ciph3r), the account master can then remove your server from the account in seconds :) current server status: Server is not streaming to PBBans Server Info Server IP 92.48.74.37:1716 Game Americas Army Tag TWL-AA Data Last Received 11 hours, 34 mins ago

It's not a vague response Bro, Hendrik has told you it can not be allowed and he has told you how to resolve the kick. If you use any programme of this nature you are taking a chance that it may not be compatible to run at the same time as your gaming on a PB enabled server.

If a submitted/existing server IP appears on the MPi or is the same IP as the person applying, a denial is the only outcome. The reason this is more prevalent nowadays is because the process is now automated, not a lot more to say really, except a little advice for you megatron. Please do not make assumptions from what you are reading in this topic. No one has mentioned or implied cheating or deserving of a ban, and never will.

**update** As a temporary fix the hub has been moved to a secondary HDD. Hopefully this will suffice untill a nice shiny new HDD or 2 can be put into place. This was a hardware issue and nothing else, we can plan for a lot of things but mechanical failure is something we can not predict.

Should be sorted now

This is what our MPI (Master Player Index) shows for you: attachment removed by request. I do not see a linked ban to any of the pbguid's either here or at PsB. Do you have a clan forum link we could maybe look at ? Do you have the server address of were you are banned from ? Ask the server admin to contact us.

Make sure this task is set in your pbsv.cfg: pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver // sends heartbeat to the Hub to maintain streaming if server is empty for long periods.

If you are trying to make an application using this IP address 83.252.142.139:28960. The server IP exists on the mpi. At the time of the application the server name was: 83.252.142.139:28960 SwedenOnline - AWE4 Ranked [Not Cracked at the moment] (Punkbuster issue) A permanent denial was applied (not temp) so you will always see the denied message. If you now have a legitimate server to stream, a full re-application will be required (which your now clear to submit)

When you are re-entering the streaming initiation commands and you get server responses like: ^3PunkBuster Server: PB UCON Profile not added due to duplicate profile name (pbbanshub) Just ignore them and carry on in sequence untill you have entered the last command (pb_sv_writecfg ) then check the servers streaming status using the checker in the left side menu on our main website. http://www.pbbans.com/

If the server is added to your account, when the streaming commands are sent to the server, streaming kicks in instantly.
