is this only happening after updating your intel mac to 2.60d from 2.60b ? or did it happen before ?

Hmm I didn’t upload sth:P to 2.60d from 2.60b. I used pbweb.exe to upload pb but it didn’t help. I haven’t got something like that before…

I suggest opening a troubleticket with evenbalance.

Evenbalance will tell you to update your chipset and GFX drivers to the latest version, so you might as well do that before submitting the ticket (chances are it’ll actually fix the problem).
(2.60d is only for Mac, 2.60b is the latest Windows/Linux version.)

yeah, Palemki originally posted this in the Mac 2.60d release thread so I split it.
That’s why Nail asks about 2.60d

Note #2: PunkBuster "pushes" hardware and the Windows Operating System more than most software and uses functions in the Windows API (low level functions) that aren't used by most other programs. As such, there are a few cases where using PB can actually expose flaky hardware or other situations that don't cause problems for other software. Here are a few things that have helped other users make these problems get better or go away completely:
* Make sure you are using the latest version of PunkBuster (the latest version is always on our Download page) - also this link may help manually update your PB to the latest version when necessary
* From the game's main screen, press the tilde key (the ~ key) to bring down the console and enter the following line (without the quotes): "pb_system 0".
* Never close other programs from your Windows Task Manager before playing the game, either leave them running or close them through the proper interface - killing a process doesn't always work completely even if it stops showing in the Task Manager and renegade threads seem to conflict with PB more than other programs that may be running in memory.
* Check the add/remove programs list in your Control Panel and uninstall any programs that you don't use or that you don't know what they are.
* One program that seems to conflict with PB more than others is Norton Anti-Virus. If you have it installed, try uninstalling it to see if the lockups go away. Some players have reported that when this is the culprit, they can reinstall Norton Anti-Virus and the lockups don't come back.
* Other background programs that seem to conflict with PB for some users are Sound Blaster Live software and helper programs that come with video cards (especially ATI keyboard shortcut programs).
* Some players discovered that they had a computer virus and that the lockups vanished after it was fully removed.
* Some Zone Alarm users report that giving the game 'trusted server' access in the Zone Alarm 'program' configuration fixes these problems
* Experiment with the pb_sleep setting. Try setting it to 20, 250, or 500 to see if that affects your game performance. A few players have reported that all the problems go away when they "tweak" this setting.
* In extreme cases, a few users have reported that replacing their RAM (memory) or video/sound cards fixed the problem.
I dont have those programs that have confilct with pb an any “funny” programs either. And about hardware,I direct attention to a fact that it worked with the same hardware couple of days ago and other games are still working (warrock is pb supported and stil lruns perfectly!).
There is a funny thing that many people have the same problem and it started at the same time almost.
