Cisco Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I recently have been getting kicked ffrom COD4 by PB. I ran pbsvcsetup and here is the result: Starting PunkBuster Service Tests (v0.986) (03/18/08 13:03:13) Checking OS Windows NT 6.0 (build 6000) 32-bit Checking PnkBstrA service status RUNNING Checking PnkBstrA Version OK (1029) Extracting "PnkBstrB.exe" to: "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe" OK Checking firewall settings OFF Is PnkBstrA explicitly allowed?

Also when I join the game recently I get the following message on the game screen: Punkbuster Server: Corruption or Mismatch PB Server Files [FE32] I have tried to manually install / update PB also. Can you help? :unsure: [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandrock Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Pbsetup.exe This will probably fix you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Is this on Vista? Make sure you right click the multi-player icon and select "run as administrator" from the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisco Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes I have done this already several times and still no success. I have completely turned off antivirus and ensured that windows firewall has enabled exceptions for Punkbstr. And yes it is on Vista.

RoadWarrior Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Next step I would like you to try. Go into your game's install folder, and re-name your pb folder to pb_old. Don't delete it, just re-name it. Create a new folder named pb(case-sensitive). Download the pbsetup.exe file from www.evenbalance.com and slide it into this new pb folder, and run it. Effectively, this creates all brand-new pb files, while keeping your old ones as a back-up, in case you might need to revert(simple re-name folder process). Then try and connect to the game. From your logs, it would appear the PnkBstrK drivers are not loading for some reason, and this is most often the fix for the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1- FinePoints Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Also if that does not work I recommend running this. http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe It looks like you have ran the test of it but have you tried to uninstall and reinstall?

Cisco Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thank you! The combination of these two enabled me to play again. I have no idea how this happened (?) but I am grateful for your help! Take Care and thanks again! Cisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
