Video driver hack


(Vaticool) #1

5 minutes away from the end of gold rush…
suddenly many people kicked by punkbuster “Video Driver Hack” :banghead:

wtf - never been kicked by PB or only for empty name violation
and suddenly that server goes crazy …

I was here … like others … thanks PB for your (random) technology :banghead:

(No need to swear I never used any modified opengl driver)

you must not be a legit player

In a few IRC channels now, and I am seeing numerous complaints from ppl who were just kicked for the "video driver hack’ across multiple channels- people who are not the cheating type - False positive perhaps?


(Vaticool) #4

yes, if I used a cheat I would not post :???:

this happened only on “BOOMTOWN” server from what I know …
and it still goes on … other servers ?

Actually this is happening on multiple servers, no doubt related to the new version of pb that was released yesterday.

Its happened to me as well, kicked for video driver hack #90005. This was on a Multiplay.co.uk server.
PB’s certainly doing it’s best to ruin this game.

Yea happend to me to :???:
got kicked 4 or 5 times in less than 30 mins :banghead:
I tried to play on other servers but no go on any of them.
Must have tried on 5 different ones.
Probably like ND says PB related
SOOOO F*****g frustrating

LOL!

I was just gonna post abotu this because 2 minutes ago I was on a server and it kicked me because of that same reason.

Don’t worry guys, you are not alone

Both my friend and I were kicked from a game in the last 3 minutes for this video driver hack bullshit. So it is clearly not a fucking cheat…

Heh, everyone makes mistakes, its ignorant people who ruin the game, and bash something they dont even try once to fix, just sit tight and a fix will arise.

i just got kicked from ua-clan server(im not 100% sure about the name but still) and the reason was PB kicking me for video driver hack. :angry: it was pretty fun to watch PB kick people for it cause i thought they were actually using cheats but when it kicked me i got angry!! :angry: :banghead:


([=O=]SMYLER) #12

Same shit and it’s EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE. Must be a problem down at PB central.


(Dingo19) #13

It’s happend before, and it will happen again. PB fixes things like this fairly quickly.
It’s just a game, and not worth getting too upset about. It’s not like it’s a bug in a heart monitors software in a hospital.


(Snoogans) #14

Same for me lauri88. I was watching guys getting the boot… thinking, “No wonder they were doing so well! HaHa!” Then it kicks me, too! Oh, how I was wrong. Dirty Punkbuster!


(=MLK=FOO) #15

See my thread about PB update. They have put a statement on their website.


(ND80) #16

They just posted this:

New detection code was released today that appears to be causing ‘Video Hack’ violations for players who are not running hacks. We have temporarily disabled these detections until this issue can be resolved. We suggest that PB Admins ignore #9xxxx violations that were raised today. ‘Video Hack’ violations that were raised prior to today are still valid.
