This server requires you to enable punkbuster dialogue box

PikminDoctor · 09-01-2008, 11:15 AM

Hi, I've gone through the whole complicated process of updating punkbuster by moving dll files around on PR 7 loads of times now and it's always worked, but not on PR 8 I went through the same process and guess what...

On each server, I get a dialogue box that reads:
'This server requires punkbuster to be turned on'

I've already tried two methods of updating punkbuster and reinstalling project reality, and I still can't even get to the map loading screen.

sorry for making you guys seem silly, but there is a very simple way to fix this problem. on the screen where you select a server, down in the bottom right, there is a gamespay and punkbuster logo. next to the punkbuster logo there should be a box with an X thru it. if the box has no X thru it click it and everything will work. this happened to me. i unintstalled, reinstalled, then updated pb only to find that all i had to do was click the box. just take a look there. again sorry for making you guys look silly, and please know that it happened to me as well.

I think .8 has a bug that unchecks that box for some people. Maybe the Devs added it an idiot test. I beat my head against the wall trying to figure this out, only to realize how simply it was. Awesome.

GOd bless you!!! this worked. I think it gets unchecked when you reinstall PB.

thanks again (now I still got to get a new PC because all maps run like sht)
