attention Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hey guys. I've been playing sof2 for some time now going onto around 2-3 years. But only recently have i started playing wars and competitions in australian servers. But recently I've been accussed by some admins for blocking punkbuster screenshots. I do not hack and will never resort to something so low. So i asked an admin of some of the servers to help me solve this problem. Eventually the problem was narrowed down to the screenshots returning when anti aliasing was disabled then failing to return when it was enabled. Then I tried turning the monitor refresh rate to 70 instead of 60. Then my screenshots were returning perfectly with anti aliasing on. I was then told that this was just because I had a cheap nonamed brand of video card. Which is true, I have a geforce 7300GT 256mb under the brandname Eagle. I got TWO admins to check my screenshots and they both said they were working correctly. Once my screenshots started returning properly again it was fine for a few wars, then after one war i was accussed again of blocking pb again yet I have NOT used anything to block punkbuster or used any hacks in games. This time my screenshots were returning the same screenshot everytime not just blank shots. One admin simply said it doesn't look good for you and left it at that. I got quiet angry at this because I am a legit player looking for a solution that noone will really help with. Can you guys help me make my pb screenshots return correctly?

Tim Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Did you ever try to turn AA off ? What OS are you using ? Cheap vid cards dont block ss's.. Ask the admins on the server if its happening to anyone else also ,,,, alot of times its because they set it up incorrectly ,,also this is quoted from PB itself : "Also, PunkBuster will not allow more than 3 screenshots to be requested from each player within any 10 minute period" ...if theyre trying to many to fast that will bring back a returned error message.

attention Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm using Xp Pro Sp2. There was one other player in the same war who also returned the exact same problem that I Have of the screenshots being the same everytime. The war went for 40minutes and my clan leader received the screenshots from the game theres 7 screenshots of me. 6 Are the same and One is different. However the head admin doesn't take any questions or possibilities of being his server lightly and can result in getting yourself in a worser situation. A team has already left due to this at the start of the ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodeoBob Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 What you could do is ask the team or league involved if they would register here and get their servers streaming. We could then have them post the questionable screenshots and help them understand what is going on with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attention Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Finally after 2 weeks of searching the problem is fixed. The problem was there was a kvm switch between the monitor and the system, soon as this was taken out the screenshots returned normally. Thank you all for your help :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 wow, who woulda guess it could be that!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attention Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yea I never thought having 2 computers running off the one monitor would effect it but i had a strange thought when one of the last posts said interlacing image. I thought perhaps those things are designed that way or something. Rather strange really :P At least now that adds another possibility to this strange problem some players seem to have.
