SolarofDeath Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 We have a ban on our server but with no name only the EA GUID. How can I find out the name associated with that GUID or GUID's?
Proj_Hen Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I think all games should use PBBans, well the top 50 atleast.
DR@G()N Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Will there be an option to search for banned EA GUID's ? Also is there a way to find a players EA GUID from a PB GUID ?
EBassie Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Games that share the same PB GUID are: - Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter. Guess we've seen now this is not correct anymore. Too bad EA / DICE / EB did not listen. It would have been helpful. Edited October 25, 2012 by EBassie
MaydaX Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Guess we've seen now this is not correct anymore. Too bad EA / DICE / EB did not listen. It would have been helpful. Actually they did. The EA_GUID (The one rcon tools use) are the same. It's an issue with PB.
Singh400 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Sharing PB_GUID makes no sense. Sharing EA_GUID does. Well to me at least.
MaydaX Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Sharing PB GUIDs = sharing bans across games. It was done for BC2 and MoH2010 but was also the same for BF3 during the beta. However it changed with the retail release and by the time they wound be able to change it there was a lot of bans so they left it as it was. 1
HSMagnet Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Sharing PB_GUID makes no sense. Sharing EA_GUID does. Well to me at least. ea_guid is worthless for our purposes
Singh400 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 ea_guid is worthless for our purposesMaybe in the short term, but surely not in the long term. EA_GUIDs aren't going anywhere. It makes sense to support them now in their infancy. The way I see it in my head (though I maybe incorrect):- PB_GUID = tied to a game EA_GUID = tied to an Origin account And as far as I know games don't share PB_GUIDs but they do share EA_GUIDs. Extra layer of anti-cheat, no?
MaydaX Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 PB can't see EA_GUID's and PB generates a PB GUID based on either the EA_GUID itself or the same id that us used to generate the EA_GUID. All references to EA_GUID on PBBans refers to the PB GUID in some EA games and not the EA_GUID id that is found in rcon for Frostbite based games. I may rename that soon to avoid confusion. BC2 and MoH2010 share the same PB GUID. 2
MaydaX Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 Renamed it to Enforce MBi Bans (Cross Game).

BC2 and MoH2010 share the same PB GUID. Taken from the MoH:W documentation:- Accounts, soldier names, and GUIDs Every MoHW PC player has exactly one EA account. The player has exactly one soldier name. The PunkBuster GUID is tied to the EA account. So is the “EA GUID”. The PB GUID is used with all PB-services, while the EA GUID is used with any non-PB related functions in the game server. PunkBuster GUIDs are 32-digit hexstrings. EA GUIDs are the prefix “EA_” followed by a 32-digit hexstring Guess we have a definite answer. 1
008_OzzMan Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Well put singh,I think we all understand what they are and their function. It does not change the fact however that PB cant see EA GUID's in a context that is useful.
MaydaX Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 Seems 1.866 for MoHW fixed the PB GUID and it now matches the BF3 PB GUID 1
Singh400 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Seems 1.866 for MoHW fixed the PB GUID and it now matches the BF3 PB GUID Right, okay. Now then, I've got a question. Banned player from MoH:W: http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-f1445f49-vb278639.html But the same player on BF3 still shows as clean? http://www.pbbans.com/mpi/mpi-guid-search-f1445f49-41.html&showLG=yes&showAT=yes&safeview=yes Shouldn't they be linked on the MBi now? And that PB_GUID should show up as banned for both games?
MaydaX Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 It won't show as banned. If he enters a server that has the cross game flag enabled he will be kicked.
Singh400 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 It won't show as banned. If he enters a server that has the cross game flag enabled he will be kicked. Shouldn't it at least show a link under link GUIDs or something similar? I think it would be something worth adding, as it looks like more and more games will be sharing PB_GUIDs. 2
