GAStone Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Just got several of the below screenshots from the same guy on our server. every single one turned out like this 'failed to cature'. The shot below was taken literally 1 second after he got a kill so he couldn't have been on Desktop or anything like that. I have heard about a hack that makes PB shots go black, could this be it? /Stoney Edited May 19, 2006 by GAStone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Either broken drivers or ss blocker. glReadPixels is function to read content of framebuffer. Weird , I thought that cod2 is using direct3d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAStone Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 The guy has been known to have cheated on other server before so I wouldn't throw the idea of an SS blocker out the window. I will try and get some more on another day to see if they are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(TSS)Hidinfury Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Either broken drivers or ss blocker. glReadPixels is function to read content of framebuffer. Weird , I thought that cod2 is using direct3d. B0 = application not active screen capture failedB0 means that the game is minimized or in the background. B1 = screenshot sucessful attempted line present B2 = screenshot sucessful attempted line not present B0 means that the game is minimized or in the background. This problem has been around for awhile and is mostly seen in linux systems. It is caused by left over code i believe . glReadPixels is part of the opengl drivers and cod2 uses directx drivers. This is not do to a SS blocker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The problem is that cod2 doesn't use OpenGL and that weird message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(TSS)Hidinfury Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The problem is that cod2 doesn't use OpenGL and that weird message thats the problem :) it is in the EB software not the COD2 code. PB is tring to take a SS via openGL , witch is not present in COD2 resulting then error . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAStone Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 so how come he is the only person it happens to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(TSS)Hidinfury Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 so how come he is the only person it happens to? He is not the only one that it happens too .This is not the first time this discussion has been brought to attention , this is a bug with the punkbuster software and is not a SS Blocker. Evenbalance is aware of this issues and is working on a fix for it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
