PBSS resolution

[BSCpl]

What is max  sreen resolution PB can take ?

I guess it's: 400x204..?

 

Santa Clause wish:

 

Most of the PBSS are black or pink. I read it depends on videocard driver, whenever sreenshot will be sucessful or not.

 

But what if PB could invoke Print sreen sys command ? (in most games it works, by just "Print Sreen" key on keyboard) .

 

And another wish. PBSS are only small area of whole player screen, it would be better if PB could divide Whole screenshot to several let say 400x204 images....Then send each to server

Note that regardless of the combination of manual and automatic screenshot requests submitted during gameplay, the PunkBuster system limits screen shots in two ways.  First, each individual screenshot is limited to 82,000 pixels in an effort to keep image file sizes and transfer bandwidth requirements down.  If you set your parameters (described below) to request images that contain more than 82,000 pixels, then PunkBuster will automatically reduce the image size until the actual capture fits within the limitation

.Also, Admins should keep in mind that PunkBuster will not take a screenshot from a player who has minimized his local game or who has an application active other than the game itself.  In those cases, an empty black screenshot image is sent with text at the bottom explaining why the Capture failed.  Also, there are a few video display setups that cannot be correctly captured at this time.  These setups also do not allow the game itself to take screenshots using the built-in non-PunkBuster method.

That is not true. I have seen many screen shots taken when the player has their game minimized. They show what ever the player's screen is displaying when the shot was taken. I have seen shots of facebook, porn, word processing programs, and even bank credit card accounts! I also saw one of a hack site that the player went to while they were playing on my server. I posted a lengthy warning about it on my clan's forums when I saw it.
