[FAQ] How to get your GUID


Fynbos

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Today I've been asked the 3rd time today, how a player can see his own GUID.

 

When ingame (no need to be connected to a server) just type \pb_myguid into the console to get your Punkbuster GUID.

Furthermore you can use \condump to dump the guid into a textfile.

 

 

Id would be a good idea to write that in that GUID-Check, too. :)

 

 

 

(I only checked with ET, but I asume it works with all PB related games, right?)

this is standard on the jolt forums;

 

1. Load up RTCW multiplayer

2. Bring down the console (should be the tilde key - above tab)

3. Type \pb_myguid and hit return

4. Type \condump guid.txt and hit return

 

This will create a text file in your Return To Castle Wolfenstein/Main folder named guid.txt containing the text from the console. Copy and paste the GUID from there and include it in any communication about a ban. Don't copy and paste your CD key.

thats why i have always pushed at every opportunity for hardware bans to be made a matter of course for any hack offence that is pb detected :)

Yeah, but the really cool thing about ET is, get ready, you have to obtain a new GUID every so often! Ain't it great!

Why that?

 

I'm playing with the same since 11 months.

I think he means the "isn't reaching pbGuid Auth server" message...

yea ...the easiest way to fix that error is to delete your ETkey file in main and reconnect

Guys?

 

The easiest way to get rid of that error is to restart the pc and/or the internet connection.

Are you really always resetting your adminlevels after that?

:blink:

Well. I don't, but have known people who just do it religiously every time they start since it seems to happen that often. Maybe I'm just lucky. :D

that error is prevalent on 1 server in my favs ...the rest are normally ok and the easiest way around it is to delete the ETkey file in main and reconnect to the server ... i might add that it is the only thing that works on that particular server as well (have tried every other method)
