Keep getting booted

(BladeofSorrow) #1

I updated my punkbuster according to the stickied info.
Its in my firewall exceptions list and I still keep getting the boot after about a minute.
It says autoupdate failure.
Any tips?
Thanks

Other games boot, or this just happens in ETQW? ETQW pull a lot of resources*, more than other games, so try to run a heavy game with graphics on maximum and high resolution to see if its boot also.

*not rarely my nobreak points overload when playing ETQW. This dont happens in Crysis 2, for example.

With booted I mean kicked from the game.
Only happens with ETQW.
The system does not reboot.
I have everything set at max and it runs fine against AI’s lets me run around forever on non punkbuster games but since 0 people are in there makes it kind of boring.
I get a punkbuster autoupdate failure message - its fully updated using the stickied punkbuster legacy fix.
WTH?

Add this to your config

pb_security 0

Kleppy is right.

All you need to do is change pb_security to 0, connect to a server and your game will download the latest version of Punkbuster from that server.

All the things you need to know are on the first page of the sticky thread.

Post number 19 tells you how to open the console, post number 20 tells you what you need to do next.
