This is one of the console messages I get:

"profid=0; cause=16; msg='Remote disconnected: PunkBuster perm"

But I can't read the rest because it goes off the screen.

So, what causes this?

And, how do I view the whole message? Is there a way to scroll across? Or is there a log file somewhere that I can read it?

Thank you.

Yeah I saw you trying to join the other night : ( That's a ban you have there but I wouldn't have a clue why you're banned either. Wait for an admin to reply I guess.

i noticed this thread you made a while back:

https://clanftw.forumotion.net/general-discussion-f3/how-many-of-you-have-spare-keys-t2766.htm

did you ever fix your key issue?

or

did you end up receiving a key from someone else? if so its possible that key has been banned the original user might have been banned with it.

got steam or xfire mate? ill help u out with another key

or you can wait for an admin to resolve it

Did you ever look into this? It's been 2 months now and I still can't join.

OK

Ah it seems to work now, thank you. Do you know what the problem was?

i assume you were perma banned?

always glade to help

I have also been kicked for no apparent reasons! from almost all games and all forums..

and put on a good behavior bond!....which worked a treat and I must say the sluts....i mean.....girls have been very well behaved ever since...lol.

anyone play anymore........can someone unban me so we can have a game....as i see the server still up....any hope?

Wounded is away for the weekend m8.....dunno if someone else can unban you? Maybe Troppo can.

nw

Looks like PB may have been turned off, If so that would surely solve all your problems.

May introduce a few issues of stainerism though.

Yeah, we've helped him out, and PB has been turned off. Hopefully it doesn't cause any problems but on the up side so far there's been more players and games on occasion than in a long time.

so has the ban list been 'turned off' ?

The banlist was through PB, so yea. You would know, you were in with us last night lol

It means that if there's a game we have to just keep an eye out and trust people won't do any crap.

lol , i thought i was physically unbanned .... ah well its still great people are playing....much more fun than BC2 imo

And we will still be able to kick and ban people, so if any one is tempted to fuck around think twice.

It's not like PB actually did much in the way of anti-cheat anyway, just a convenient kicking and banning system, most crysis hacks go straight around PB.

SSM and Pheonix will still bust your ass if you do happen to try on any funny business though.

And apart from that the community members will also bust your balls and report you.

Merely 1 of 4 layers of anti-cheat protection has been disabled due to it causing connection problems recently.

pb was a slut, glad its off, great decision
