Estimate how long it will be before pb supports the rtm

[NuT]

No need to install the rtm until punkbuster gets their act together.

punkbuster and bf2 working fine here on 16385 x64...

With Enemy Territory the problems continue... (with that build)

C'mon Evenbalance! Is time to do your job!

 

[mickey megabyte]

have you tried downloading and running (as admin) pbsvc.exe, followed by pbsetup.exe

this seems to work for most people? good luck!

I filed a support ticket with EvenBalance asking the same question. I just got this reply:

07/24/2009 15:48:52 - "Hendrik T":
"Once Windows 7 is released commercially, full PunkBuster support is planned."

So it looks like we'll be game-less until the end of October.

I got the same responce, and reverted the gaming computer to Vista because of that.... But I hope it will be resolved sooner then 22 October.

Still API error kick in CoD4 with build 7600 x64 RTM. :huh:

Got the same response to my PB ticket by "Hendrik T", heh.

Was playing BF2 on RTM no problems for about an hour. Then it started kicking me. Tried updating in admin mode, but still get kicked.

i'm a member of the bf2 *Mine* clan, and our 30 or so members use a wide variety of hardware and operating systems. over the last couple of months, nearly all of us have been having intermittent punkbuster problems. it doesn't seem to matter which flavour of windows we are running - sometimes myself i can play for hours with no problems, then suddenly start being kicked every few minutes. i really don't think it's to do with 7 specifically.

punkbuster really do need to get their act together - they simply aren't busting as many punks as they should be! the innocent get kicked and punished, but the haxors still get through - literally almost every day we suspect and later detect (using screenshots) cheating low-life scum who seem to easily circumvent the checks.

it's gotten to the point where i really don't play bf2 as much as i would like - i'll stop now before i get too angry! :sa:

 

[Everlong]

Well I got BF2 working with no problems. Put what I did in the stickied PB thread.

Probably why most games that use PB have a separate anti-cheat organization or two. PB itself as a cheat deterrent is pretty much useless, but some of the tools they provide help with the AC organizations.

And here is hoping when they finally do get their thumbs out they don't break anything in any of the games (can remember an update from them years ago that broke America's Army for a lot of people using Creative sound cards, and they never did fix it fully).

What amazing lack of support. It's lucky we, the users, aren't there primary customers. We'd drop them like a sack of hammers.
