Been noticing this in the console lately.
PunkBuster Client: O/S Exception Notice (in blue) and
WARNING: (yellow) idGameLocal:: ClientUpdateView: timeleft == USERCMD_MSEC abort (in red)
I see this flowing past with great speed, just repeating over and over until a pb kick.
Wtf is this refering to? I’ve reinstalled and no change.
Running win7 pro 64 bit on OCZ vertex 2’s in raid0.
idk what it is. But a reboot helps. Had it a couple of times.
Or like Nails is telling update it. If nothing help goto evenbalance.com and send a ticket.
They will help or post it on a pbbans or punksbusted.
Proir to posting earlier I updated PB, reinstalled the game and PB and updated both again.
Been running as admin all along. I’m always rebooting pc, router = no change.
This even occurs playing offline with bots but no kick.
IDK, may just do a secure erase on the drives and reinstall everything in a month or so.
I think it happends when the punkbuster services arent started as an administrator. Try installing punkbuster as admin?
I have had it a few times aswell, had to reboot pc to get it working again, but I never had the problem when I explicity start the game as administrator.
PS: O/S means Operating System and it refers that you have no sufficient rights to run punkbuster as an exception on that rule that you have to be admin (as far as I can make out of it)
So in short, try installing PB itself with administrator priveleges. (Right mouse, run as admin)
I get this error, often. have been for years… starting with RTCW MP… doesnt matter how many times i have updated PB or re-installed it… something for some reason gets all wacky with PB…
only known cure, that i found that works… Re boot your PC… allow the services to refresh and re start…
sucks but it works…
good old PB!
PBsetup and PB service setup have options to alllow you manually update them.
its very helpful in some cases[like interference with AV products, rooted PC’s, weird SW enviroment and etc].
umm, yeah O/S = Operating System 
I reboot my pc several times a day. Have been running as admin all along.
As stated, reinstalled and updated both the game and PB.
I deleted binds, profile and auto exec (all saved on thumb drive) and set everything up as default. Problem remained. Then I thought about a change made 2 weeks ago. To clear my desk a bit I took a kvm switch out of storage and put it to use and included this rig.
Disconnected and plugged the keyboard/mouse straight into the pc and problem solved.
I then copied my binds and profile back and all was still well. Added my auto exec and started getting 1/2 that messege back again.
WARNING: idGameLocal:: ClientUpdateView: timeleft == USERCMD_MSEC abort
this,
PunkBuster Client: O/S Exception Notice
no longer apeared.
Deleted everything again and then copied binds and profile back. no problem.
Started manually adding in the auto exec cmds 1 by 1 and the messege reapeared as soon as I entered
r_useThreadedRenderer “2”
It just spewed WARNING: idGameLocal:: ClientUpdateView: timeleft == USERCMD_MSEC abort
WARNING: idGameLocal:: ClientUpdateView: timeleft == USERCMD_MSEC abort
WARNING: idGameLocal:: ClientUpdateView: timeleft == USERCMD_MSEC abort
etc.
Set it to 0 and it stopped. I notice no difference wherever its set.
This auto exec was carried over from an 'ol p4 system so I guess thats a cmd I no longer need.
Anywayz, just got off a server (no pb kicks) everythings good now. Dam PB / KVM switch.
:mad:
try sticking r_useThreadedRenderer “1” then.
both “2” threaded renderer[async mode] and unlock_timing_method “0” cause serious problems both server and client-side.
and even some cheats try to camo himself this way[by generating excessive amounts of “high FPS” traffic with crap in].
