Problem enabling PunkBuster on Server - Help Please


(Cain) #1

When I try to enable PunkBuster on my dedicated server, I get this message spammed to the console:

Server can’t enable PunkBuster, CRITICAL ERROR: Cannot Load C:\ENEMYT~1\pb\pbcls.dll


I have tried everything including manually updating al the PB files but nothing helps. This has been a problem for me since the Demo, I have never been able to get PB to work on my server.

Can someone help me fix this??

Thanks for all help,

– Cain

Thanks for the e-mail.

I have sent them many e-mails and have never had a single one answered.

Does this file exists: C:\ENEMYT~1\pb\pbcls.dll? If not, try to update pb manually using pbweb (download the file from that page and follow instructions given there).

just as a last-resort attempt, delete pb folder and run pbweb (get it from the EB site), load the server (probs a good idea to put a password on it until fixed aswell) with +sv_punkbuster 1 in the command line (shortcut, .bat file or whatever you use to start it up). join the server and it should spam away about updating but just stay in for 10min and PB should sort it self out. might need to run the following (when logged into rcon) to give it a nudge in the right direction:
/rcon pb_sv_update

I have tried all of the above.

DG I’ll try your suggestion again, though.

Many thanks for the help gang,

I’ll keep plugging away.
