Punkbuster issues with Nvidia 52.16 WHQL Drivers


Recommended Posts

There seems to be some problems with punkbuster and Enemy Territory/RtCW with these latest drivers. I'm 100% sure it's with punkbuster. I can run the game fine on a non-pb server. But the moment I go onto a PB Server my whole system locks up.

This is common with everyone else who has tried these drivers and RtCW/ET.

I've contacted Evenbalance but I've had no reply or any press releases. Is everyone experiencing this problem and has anyone found a way around it?

For some odd reason this does not surprise me in the least. PB has ALWAYS had freakin problems with any type of Q3 based engine game. I played OSP/WFA/3Wave and a few more for a long time and once PB came out with the 1.32 patches people I knew were not cheating still had problems with it locking up there machines or kicking them for no reason at all. I've watched my gf get kicked off of a server because of pb for no reason other then just an error. And yes she does have her own cd keys and her own copy of Q3. Hate to say it but evenbalance is a f'ing joke. 99% of all OSP matches and OGL matchs and others do not use PB because of the problems it has had and still has.

it actually still works fine for me... i just tested it out finally...

to be on the safe side i made sure i had the latest version of punk buster...

i did this by going to the pb folder inside of the main ET directory / i launched the exe "pbweb" and although it took about 10 mintues or so it did update to the latest version so maybe thats why it is working on my end??? dont know really but it does still work...

i guess that bullsh*t about punk buster updating itself is just that...

but yeah no problems at all. i installed the 52.16 drivers this morning and et is working fine and dandy with punk buster enabled...

Ya man I am having the same problem. My Et crahes when i load up the game. And I am joining servers that have punkbuster on.

I have not found a way around the problem but to go back to the old driver which i don't want to do since i saw that this new driver makes all of my other games like Halo run better.

I will try to see what i can do(absolutley nothing) to solve this problem.

Mabey CreamHackerd you have found something newsince you last posted?

I know i can easily go back, infact I already did. But I couldn't resist installing it agian because my pc's video display runs faster, and i know that if i get driver to work with wolf et, it will make the game run better I'm sure. Thanks for responce though dadacoolness!
