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.

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

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)

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?

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.

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


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

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

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


Moved :arrow: 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 :)

Hehe, thats cause PS5 has no punkbuster enabled.

Okay try the following;

    - download PBSVC
    - Start the program (from any location)
    - Click on the button 'Test Services' and wait till its done (post the output here please)

    - if the test fails, find out why its blocking your connection, and test again
    - if it keeps on failing
    - select 'Un-install/Remove Punkbuster Service' (2nd option)
    - After that run the PBSVC program again but now choose the 1st option and let it re-install again


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

Edit:
For more info;
http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index ... opic=41359
(hehe ey Storm found it as well :P)


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.

Dang, have to update the FAQ :coffee:

@ 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.

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 :)
