yes they do :P - what I dont understand is that you have been playing with no probs for quite some time and suddenly a readme file pops up - if you have information on exactly what the readme contained include it in your appeal- include the site address of where you downloaded this "game" - if you have the readme still on your pc somewhere then send it to [email protected] I know of only 2 types of readme that go into a specific game location and one of them aint good

I feel for ya Bro, its hard to build up a client base when a game starts to lose the public eye, but I doubt if they have gone forever and its only been a couple of days since things got fixed :)

Before joining the forum to whine, please check your pbguid using the checker here click me This will tell you straight away if your on the PBBans MBI Just for information purposes; PBBans is a privately run anti cheat site PBBans is not PunkBuster™ Its entirely the server admins choice as to wether he imposes a perm ban or not If you have played for 5 years I should think you should be able to tell the difference between a perm ban and a timed kick This site exists to help server admins maintain a clean gaming environment We did not make any mistake, because your not on our banlist Look at the kick message in full to determine exactly what you got kicked for and a bit of personal advice that has stood me in good stead over the years - check the facts before going public with a whine :P

Lets start at the beginning :) No server port posted so I guessed 27960 PB is not enabled on this server: The primary streaming method is the PBBans Hub which can be initiated with a few rcon commands. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29047 Once you enable PB and enter the few rcon commands required for Hub streaming - you can then add server via your existing team account. If all goes well you will see your server listed as streaming within a short time period. If theres a problem you will receive a forum pm telling you so. All this is dependent on PB being enabled on the server.

Does this message get fllashed up when players are kicked for non bannable violations ? Such as a rate/fov setting etc etc

Your profile info does not include what game you play, so a good start would be to state the game played and the exact kick message your getting on disconnection :)

I also have a ticket outstanding, as yet no reply. Maybe EB should adopt a policy of not releasing updates at weekends when support seems minimal at best.

Punkbuster is at best competent anti cheat software when run on its own. Its when its given a little help like cvar/MD5 scans that it becomes a lot more effective. PBBans provides that little extra help to all its streaming game admins (SGA's) For all its shortcomings, especially recently, PB remains by far and away the best anti cheat software out there, it's just a shame that insufficient testing before update releases has resulted in a lot of bad PR for EvenBalance of late, they need to work a lot faster on solutions before irrepairable damage is done to their hard earned credibility/reputation. There are new kids on the block just itching to get a foot in the door and if they manage to get that all important foot in, the PB monopoly on viable anti cheat will be broken. They should be moving heaven and earth to retain their rep and encourage new custom, atm I dont see that happening.
