QuantumSystems Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Seems the new server update has fixed streaming. R2 is out? yup build 86637 Hello. It doesn't seem to work here. My Startup.txt already has 'punkBuster.activate true' Instead of 'vars.punkBuster 1' Running with build 86637 on my game-servers. The moment I restart my game-server and key in 'pb_sv_ver' into my Procon's PunkBuster console, I get this: PunkBuster Server: PunkBuster Server for BF4 (v1.869 | A1388 C2.327) Enabled Then followed by 1 or 2 lines of: PunkBuster Server: Player List: [slot #] [GUID] [Address] [status] [Power] [Auth Rate] [Recent SS] [O/S] [Name] Then, after a total of 1-4 minutes of uptime: PunkBuster Server: Preparing to Disable PB Server...

Ice Man Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) LOL NFO isn't giving me FTP access to the pbsv.cfg file, wtf? Honestly I was happy to spend my money with these guys until today, first they raised the slot price on release day, now they are telling me we don't have access to the configuration file via FTP??? I just spoke with our CEO.That file is inaccessible by design (EA/DICE has this rule).Either way, nothing with PB is functioning right now, so changes would prove futile. EA/DICE is working on it as we speak though. It's in the server documentation FFS.... Edited October 29, 2013 by Ice Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) I copied and pasted it back to them, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall, because you know I haven't used punkbuster ever in my life, nor have I been with other server providers who have given me this access.

Crotan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Got it working. Went into procon ran pb_sv_enable and then ran hub setup worked fine. Strange, doing punkBuster.activate didn't have the same lasting effect, as in it would only temporary enable PB. wouldn't be able update PB. However doing the below with the short 1-4 minutes of PB being on: pb_sv_enable then pb_sv_update seems to have worked, the server stuck with PB on and updated successfully to 1.880 Of worthy mention: pb_sv_enable PunkBuster Server: PunkBuster Server for BF4 (v1.869 | A1388 C2.327) Enabled pb_sv_update PunkBuster Server: Master Query Sent to (MASTER2.EVENBALANCE.COM) 50.62.76.68 PunkBuster Server: Player List: [Slot #] [GUID] [Address] [Status] [Power] [Auth Rate] [Recent SS] [O/S] [Name] PunkBuster Server: End of Player List (0 Players) PunkBuster Server: Received Master Security Information PunkBuster Server: Download Request for htm\vs001880.htm Sent to (BF42.EVENBALANCE.COM) PunkBuster Server: Kicking for new violations has been temporarily disabled per PB Master Servers - use the pb_sv_enablekicks command to manually re-enable kicks. pb_sv_plist Edited October 29, 2013 by Crotan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went and placed my game-servers in the approval queue. Edit: Following Crotan's post, I've also performed a manual 'pv_sv_update' and it picked up the v1.880 update.

WebRat Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Confirmed, our servers are now streaming, thank you. I ran pb_sv_enable then pv_sv_update, servers updated to v1.880 and in the BF4 server list it says PB and Fair Fight are now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxKnots Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Finally it's working. If I leave my server set to "Official" Can ppbans kick players for prior violations, or keep them from joining the game? Or do I have to change it to Ranked? If it is something we need to test I volunteer my server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is something we need to test I volunteer my server. As far as I can tell, PB can run but it will not kick for violations. I will continually spit out that violation kicks are disabled as per the master server, which is good because most users will throw a COMFAIL #133, and won't be kicked. Think someone still needs to throw a switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crotan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) not sure. My tests on official mode found pb commands are the same as ranked. Who knows if that will change. Hmmm, are you finding that violation kicking is off? When I enable it, it'll turn off again. I still see that PB kicking is off... PunkBuster Server: Violation Kicking is temporarily disabled per PB Master Servers So I hope you guys are looking at the streamed logs, because as far as I can tell even if someone is detected day one, we won't know it until Evenbalance flips a switch.

MaydaX Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 That's common for new games with PB on release day. If they generate a bannable violation the hub will kick and ban them. That just means PB itself won't kick them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxKnots Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My Bf4 server says it kicked someone for a BF3 violation and it is running in the official mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinsman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Our I3dnet servers are refusing to stream, nothing but Header Mismatches, and interestingly if I try to update this. PunkBuster Server: No Master Query Sent - DNS has not yet resolved for MASTER2.EVENBALANCE.COM Does this mean they need to update the server, PB, or both perhaps?
