Hey Rodolf, i get on the Wolfenstein Enemy Territory Version 2.60b the same problem.

 

It is because Punkbuster runs some md5 checks i guess, i found a simple solution:

 

First of all join up a server on .6b and type

 

/pb_sv_sleep 500

/pb_security 0

 

Then wait a while (20-30 seconds) until the lag is gone, then you should be able to play lagfree.

This tip should also work with WolfET 2.55 & 2.56.

 

How to update PB's files, too:

 

Use Punkbuster update tool to add manually games and run a client/server update of pb.

http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1

 

 

Or you can do it in-game also if the tool won't work for you:

 

Just do couple times /pb_sv_update and wait till you just get this response:

 

"PunkBuster Server: Master Query sent to (*******.evenbalance.com) ***.***.***.***."

"Punkbuster Server: Received Master Security Information"

 

It should be fine then, for me it works fine and for some other players also.
