Punkbuster is acceptably bad, I suppose. The real problem with ET banning is the lack of reliable GUIDs and the ease of their haxing / replacement. Since ETQW won’t be free, neither will the CD keys be free.
How is Quake Wars going to deal with cheaters?

PunkBuster is awesome!
If you have problems try this:

It will not disable PunkBuster but does change the way it will access memory.
One thing I’m doing, and I really hope other GSPs follow up as well, is to have a policy against cheating:
“EscapedTurkey.com has a NO TOLERANCE policy against cheating and/or hacking in multiplayer games. We reserve the right to cancel services immediately for suspected cheating activity including promotion, distribution or any other encouragement of cheating.”
http://www.escapedturkey.com/policies.shtml
I apologize in advance if that seems like I’m advertising. I just hope other GSPs consider doing this as well to stamp out cheating, etc.

If you’re having problems type: pb_sleep 500 (not 20) as the higher the number the longer the time period between PB scans. Note: 500 is the max time interval.
This won’t stop hacks from being detected but it will reduce the PB load on your system slightly and has been found to reduce lag for some players.
After typing that into the in game console (and entering) you then need to type: pb_write cfg (and enter).
This then saves the new setting to the configuration file as the default for future play (otherwise you’ll have to re-enter the pb_sleep setting everytime you boot the game).
Hope this helps.
