problem with PB client 1.082 in Linux


(nomad) #1

After spending 2 hours attempting to fix this, I am stumped. I have updated PB manually and all is happy.

But when I connect to a ET PB server one of 2 things happen; my X session either locks up , or it locks up with the tty console saying "PB Client 1.082 " without error.

Ideas ?

Same problem running as root or normal user.

Known issue, should be fixed soon

Admins & Players may experience the following with “v1.089” “v1.082 A1335”

False PB INIT FAILURE kicks: Something todo with the retarded update system of PB, update PB manually or keep trying till you recieved all the new updates.

RESTRICTION: Inadequate O/S Privileges ( ET needs Admin privileges now, so dont run ET in a limited account) :banghead:

Mine is completely screwed… I used pbweb.x86 to update
and now it freezes at black screen. Last thing in console is:

^5PunkBuster Client: PunkBuster Client (v1.082 | A0) Enabled

I know that “A” version is wrong.

If I delete the new PB .so files, I can start the game and actually
get to a server menu but as soon as I update my games freezes
when starting.

Don’t they test this shit? Hopefully they aren’t taking the day
off since they decided to push this crap out on a holiday weekend.

p.s. I even tried as root with “et +set fs_homepath /home/slick/.etwolf” but it didn’t help.
