hi 509th Jazz and welcome to our boards :)

 

take a look in your pbsv.cfg and look for this setting:

pb_sv_extchar

 

PB_SV_ExtChar [0/1]

The default setting of 0 tells PunkBuster to disallow extended ASCII Characters in player names; for the purposes of this command, characters that cannot be easily entered with simple keystrokes are considered extended

 

so if you want to allow this clan on your server with «» in their clantag ..a setting of pb_sv_extchar 1 should be applied :)

hope this helps ya out

thanks for the info

I cant find the pbsv.cfg file anywhere on my server. Where would it be located? I found a pbsv.dat pbsv.db and pbsv.dll file in the PB folder, but thats all I found named pbsv

in your game console type this command PB_WriteCfg

after that go back and check the pb folder and you will see the cfg file there.
