Problem with PunkBuster - Communication Failure*

by **Deathstalker** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 11:42

I have a problem with PB. I can't join to PS2 because PB kick me and view screen like that:

I don't know why?
Whenever I connect to server after many seconds it kick me.
I downloaded updates and it didn't help me

Tell me why?

by **RollinNewt** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:50

Try manually updatin PB, Read our F.A.Q and go through it step by step. Its all the advice i can offer sadly, im no expert on PB either

by **Deathstalker** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:52

I updated it manually as is written in FAQ but it doesn't work

by **Spyhawk** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:57

PB use a new service for it's auto-update system.

Read the news on PB site and the PB service FAQ
Perhaps you should adapt your firewall rule for this new service.

by **Ferocious** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:59

I found the problem make sure these 2 files

PnBstrA.exe
PnBstrB.exe

Have granted access to the internet, enable them on your firewall.

hmm i think Pb shoudl be OFF until all fix their problem look at this if u want to see what i mean http://rapidshare.com/files/51181843/2007-08-25-132839-resurrection.dm_84.html

just update your pb manually from time to time even if you play on a server without pb. then all of this would not happen

(the most actually)

by **Deathstalker** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 14:12

It always be ok but once when I connect to PS 2 I got this error. I haven't got firewall; only in Windows. I haven't got PnkBstrA.exe file, only PnkBstrB.exe. Why?

by **Spyhawk** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 15:29

If you had read the PB service FAQ above, you must know that both files are in c:\windows\system32\ ...

You just need to allow these services to access the internet (Windows Firewall, etc.).

So, READ first, then ask.

by **Deathstalker** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 16:09

Ok I allowed them to firewall but constantly the same

kicked!

Try what demin said, go to u r wolfenstein folder (programe files) then go to ET folder :arrow:

Pb folder

click on Pbweb :arrow:

it will check for updates via web, when it s done, just click on a key to exit.

Hope it will help u .

You can completely bin this entire update method, since the new punkbuster service uses another system and operates as a windows service. It is designed to update itself when a connection is available and will continue to run in the background, even after you stopped playing a punkbuster supported game.

See above posts from Spyhawk & Ferocious for more info.

@ clus
Are you using the default windows firewall or another? You use Norton Internet Security?

If you go to windows/system32/logfiles/PunkBuster/
you will find 2 log files, can you post there contents in here.

And what anti-virus software package do you use?
Have you tried to connect to other pb enabled servers?

See above posts from Spyhawk & Ferocious for more info.

@ clus
Are you using the default windows firewall or another? You use Norton Internet Security?

If you go to windows/system32/logfiles/PunkBuster/
you will find 2 log files, can you post there contents in here.

Moved ET Help Desk
If you cant connect to PS2 you cant connect to any pb enabled server

funny thing is warren that manual updates still give results

it refreshes 2 or 3 files

xD or it does with me

Have you tried to connect to other pb enabled servers?

I use NOD 32 and I tried connect to PS 5 and it was ok.

Hehe, thats cause PS5 has no punkbuster enabled.

Okay try the following;

download PBSVC

Test Services

Un-install/Remove Punkbuster Service

And are you sure that your anti-virus softwars NOD32 isnt blocking those 2 files? (PnkBstrA.exe & PnkBstrB.exe), you updated your software?

(hehe ey Storm found it as well

)

If the problems continue, try to fill in a support ticket at evenbalance (punkbuster) describing your problem;
http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticke ... hp?game=et

Im sure it are just a few minor child diseases since the new service is just been made public.

@ stephan

nah, the evenbalance faq says this:

evenbalance wrote:So does that mean PunkBuster no longer supports older flavors of Windows?

PunkBuster currently runs under older flavors the same as it did before, by requiring that the game be run as an Administrator user or equivalent.

talked also with a support guy at irc channel #punkbuster. he said it should work at all but it's about dvx or something and i should send a support ticket to get help.

by **Justkidding** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 12:43

I did everything what people said in this topid everything what the F A Q said but it wont help

by **icefrost** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 13:27

i'm having problems with the new pb release. I keep getting the well known "Service Communication Failure" error when i try to connect to a server. I tried to install pbsvc.exe but that doesn't even run on windows ME, so i'm kinda lost.

Thnx in advance

Then join a Punkbuster enabled server and see if you get kicked again.

this worked for my machine with windows ME, hope it helps y'all too
