Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Already did that doesn't help. Have you tried using the 'test' option? Does it fail or pass the test? Make sure your Firewall/AV etc aren't blocking the processes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 What type of security suite/firewall do you use? Have you manually added them to the allowed list and/or tried disabling them all together to see if it works? The PB processes often get blocked by them.

RevZx Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I disabled my av and firewall still get same error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Heres all we got; http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-pbsvc.html If that is no help you will have to open a troubleticket with evenbalance and troubleshoot your issue via the ticket.

RevZx Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I did this, but didn't work. 1. Delete the PB folder from the game directory (and in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\[game]\ if you are using Windows Vista) 2. Follow the guide above to uninstall the PB Service. 3. Run PBSetup (Guide found here ) to reinstall PunkBuster (this will also reinstall the services). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Make sure you've installed the PB services using pbsvc.exe as well, just in case. If that fails, either Google around for more solutions, or create a ticket with Evenbalance here and explain your problem in as much detail as possible, as well as mentioning everything you've tried so far.

RevZx Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Would it help if i format my pc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Fr4gg3r Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Would it help if i format my pc? Possibly, but since I assume you're going to reinstall the same software again, unlikely. Just wait for a response from EB for now ;) Keep in mind it can take anywhere between 24h and an entire week to receive a reply, so be patient. It's also important to note that every time you create a new reply to your ticket, it is automatically put at the end of the queue again.

But much people has the problem, someone in my team has just the same prob. They're the creators of the Punkbuster software..if they can't help you, it's unlikely anyone can :P As I said, they receive a ton of tickets every day, have some patience.

hellreturn Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Start by Right Clicking Run as Admin and make sure all your antivirus and firewall is disabled. Few antivirus catches PB files as suspicious files. Example: Edited July 1, 2009 by hellreturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
