For some reason when i try to log into brisbanes sof2 it tells me punkbuster has banned my ip adress from that serve i can still play other servers i dont hack or cheat si can someone tell me how i could be bannned
Thank you im Dar in game and havnt offended anyone
If its an IP related ban then it's a locally applied ban that can only be removed by the server admin.
You will need to contact him via his clan forums or e-mail and ask for a removal.
-
... and with all outstanding issues resolved, I would say time for closure.
If anyone wants to instigate a kiss and make up session, please use the forum pm feature or clan forums :rolleyes:
-
So how can i enter this
The same way you enter any pb command.
-
Anyways he is already on MBI but this time he was not kicked by PB.
Link to the ban ?
What's the server IP/Port ?

I have a rented server with a console. I wish to have PBBans stream to my server. I have COD4 rev 1.5 Modern Warfare no mods and I have been using a program called RconMax written by Nikita in the UK, it has its own link to PunkBuster but it never gets there and it is not my Router which Nikita has fallen to only possible thing as talk to him on TeamSpeak for hours.
I have read his manual, I have read Punkbuster for Admins, I have tried some of the angles listed here and fell on my face every time. I know myself pretty well and I am just NOT going to get my server streaming Punkbuster ever on my own. I have rented from 2 server companies and they don't know how to do it, how am I supposed to know more then my Tech Support at 2 diff places as I tried renting from another that said "oh yes we can arrange all of that", yet I ended up only doubling my ping and they know nothing about your site or true PB Streaming so that is 2 server rental companies totally in the dark, not even aware of your SITES or the TRUE MEANING of it all.
I need help from someone who knows what they are doing. I am an engineer so will understand the technical parts once shown but on my own? No way, it will never happen, you know how you are working on your car and get in trouble and call your pal, he comes over and helps you?
I don't have any pals to call. I guess I am hoping an Admin that was once in my position sends me a PM and says "I will give you a hand", otherwise, I am in over my head and going to have to shut the server down.

Easiest method I know of admining a server and initiating streaming is via HLSW.
HLSW is a free remote admin tool, there is a full tutorial on the setup and use here;
http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?aut...amp;showfile=25
There is also a tutorial on initiating streaming via HLSW here;
http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=hubguide#hlsw
Within a week of using HLSW, you will be proficient enough to offer advice to others, thats how easy it is :)

Thank you =GG= RocknRoll :)

I see your not streaming a server, are you just using the banlist ?
Anyways, your issue is fully explained here;

There seems to be a bit of clan miscommunication here Bro :P
That server ip address is currently streaming to us via this account;

Hi there, i streamed my own server, a few month ago, i no longer host the server. I am now with a clan that also streams thru pbbans, and he is trying to add me as a new user to his account but cant seem to manage it without gettin "ERROR: User allready exists in account system"
is there something were not doing correct?
Apart from creating a duplicate forum account, no (it has been deleted)
If you have a problem of any type re team accounts etc there is a specific forum section for dealing with them;
http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showforum=395
Get the guy to add you now, it should be ok.

I have R con. Yes, our Server is restarting every Night by the Provider.
If the server is being restarted by your host via a crontab in the wee small hours, that would suggest to me that after a restart by the host a default pbsv.cfg is being used and its overwriting the pbsv,cfg that contains your pbucon streaming settings.
Contact your host and explain the problem to them, a good GSP will have it fixed in a jiffy.
-
Does your host run a crontab that restarts the server and defaults / overwrites your settings ?
What access do have ? (rcon / ftp)
-
What can I say guys :mellow:
Have your players opened a troubleticket with EvenBalance and lodged an appeal @ PBBans ?
We have opened up the appeal system to include #50000 violations and above, but they must include a TroubleTicket link.
http://www.pbbans.com/appeal_ban.php
Usual rules apply;
Tell them as much about why the ban was generated that you can, and make sure you ask the question directly;
"Is this PB software violation valid or not valid ?"
I can only reitterate what I have said already, we have to work within the constraints of a system that the game dev's & PB impose upon us, and I will admit, that at times it's like wading in mud.
Hopefully the support staff at EB will make clearing up bans generated within a specific timeframe a priority, but please bear in mind that the huge influx of tickets might cause a delay in the normal response time.
RodeoBob has already stated;
PBBans has not "forgot" to remove any false positives. We have always stated that PB violations above 50000 are issued by EvenBalance. EB has not confirmed to PBBans that the two violations you listed above are "false" positives.Confirmation can come from only one source, and as soon as "false positives" are identified they will be removed from our systems asap.

We could probably debate things all day :)
Not everyone agrees with a zero tolerance / hardline stance.
For what its worth I have been an advocate of a hardline stance, especially in free games, for years.
We have to work within the constraints that the game devs & PB impose upon us.
The best we can offer is a high tech streaming initiative that is freely available to anyone that does not appear on our MBI.(even if you stream to another anti cheat site, this option is still freely available)
A comprehensive list of cvar / md5 cheat related scans that pertain to every PB supported game genre, that are updated on a regular basis.
A trustworthy banlist were every ban is backed up by "live" streamed evidence.
Hopefully, thats enough for admins who do not stream, to at least consider the option.
In this day and age relying on standalone PB software to keep a game server cheat free is not enough.
Streaming is a neccessity and not a luxury.

This is developing into more than a simple question.
Solution is to get your server streaming;
Step 1. http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=hubguide#bf2cc
Step 2. http://www.pbbans.com/account_application.php
Step 3. Take advantage of the multitude of knowledge and experience that is available in the PBBans private forum sections.
-
Ever read any other forum sections m8 ?
Just as a point of information Bro :)There will always be undetected cheats out there, the thing to remember is that by general rule of thumb, they do not stay undetected for long.
Anti cheat is all about reaction.
If there were no cheats there would be no need for any reaction, so all we can do is try to keep on top of things as much as is humanly possible.
PBBans employs a high tech streaming initiative that helps immensely on detecting the "undetectable" but the cat and mouse game of cheaters v anti cheat shows no sign of slowing down and I would expect things to carry on in the same vein for as long as there is online multiplayer gaming servers.
Your servers have caught 57 cheaters in 2 months and 56 of those bust's were direct bannable violations raised by PB software.
That is what speaks louder than any words.
I am not here to argue the pro's and con's of some other anti cheat system, I am just trying to fathom out were you get the idea that PB is not catching anyone on your servers when its quite obvious that PB is doing a rather good job on your behalf.
-
errrr, bit confused here;
Your search results for [BR Admins] Search returned 57 bans(s)
How long have you been streaming ?
Oh yeah, 2 months
So how do you come to the conclusion that PB is not catching cheaters on your servers ?
There have been many who claim that they can do a better job than PB, but the plain and simple truth is that none have come even close to living up to that claim.
Despite the hysteria and knee jerk reactions I see on places like crossfire PB is the best anti cheat sofftware available to server admins
I have seen loads of players complaining about the new PB services and how intrusive they are, and now the same players are willing to download and install, software that "forces screenshot uploads and scans your computer for cheat processes." :blink:
Be careful, they might scan your pron collection :P
If its any good it will put PB out of business pretty soon eh, my advice, do not hold your breath.

According to MSI, Server is streaming via Hub. :)
Key phrase from my post;
Server was not streaming when account was created
but alls well that ends well :P

After reading PB statement I don't believe a word of it. If you want proof look no futher the our SS sectoins. Although most here are steaming, a lot of servers are not and we see everyday that people run charms and aimbot. In a live PB server, sure PB will get them soon than later but, as time has proven it's most of the time later than sooner.
As stated by punkbuster sometime ago when I myself turn in a hacker with PB ss they don't take PB ss as proof. Tis a sad day when anyone just depends on PB.
http://img1.putfile.com/main/11/31512340496.jpg
As for YouTube, well again proof is in the pudding. It's not pretending like they have a hack, it is someone running a hack in a PB server. Thus, makiing Pb look bad hence the statement above. This is just what I think.
We know why the statement was released, and its got nothing to do with some llama posting on youtube.
The pbss facility incorporated into PB software is just like a cvar / md5 scan, additional tools to help server admins determine if a cheat is in use etc etc.
Do not forget that even for detected aimbot / wallhack / multihack etc etc PB only issues a 2 minute kick (default) and it's up to proactive admins / anti cheat sites to issue a ban based on bannable violation kicks.
The only bans issued directly by EvenBalance are global guid / hardware bans, so I fail to see why anybody, especially an experienced server admin, would feel aggrieved at PB for not accepting a pbss as proof in the hope of a ban issue.
In this day and age, streaming is a neccessity for keeping a server as cheat free as possible, if only to keep abreast of newly released cheats, and the relevant scans to detect them.
Proof of the pudding, take a peek at the banlist's.
Last time I checked, enabling PB was not mandatory, try running a server without PB for a week or so and see how it goes :P
-
When all else fails .. revert to the manual method. :)
It's a shame you have not set the server up properly for Hub streaming.
Server was not streaming when account was created, please follow the "not streaming fix" link below.
All it takes is 7 rcon commands.

kk, I get you. And I understand that, just all of a sudden there seems to be a bigger problem. Cross fingers checks come out soon.
Also, for future reference, which part of the forum should I use, thats not public?
Thanks in advance guys.
Errr, one of the sections flagged as private :D

Hello,
There has been an undetected aimbot and wallhack for some time now. PunkBuster has to be aware of it as I've emailed them numerous times myself but never got a reply. I guess they can't or just are not worried about stopping the undected cheat.
Chris
I forgot to add :P
If you are aware of an undetected cheat that is floating about, as well as mailing it to [email protected] you can also PM Benway
Dont forget, along with streaming comes a lot of cvar / md5 scans that compliment standard PunkBuster software and detect a lot more.
