ET punkbuster

Archived from groups: alt.games.wolfenstein (More info?)

hey,

i used to play ET all the time, but i've recently had about a month
off.. i didn't uninstall or change anything about the game or it's
files, but now punkbuster claims it can never update so i get kicked
within 2 mins of entering a game.

pbcl.dll is the file i'm having trouble with.. i tried updating
punkbuster from it's homepage, i tried renaming the file so it would
be forced to create a new one (it did work, but i guess that wasnt the
problem), i tried typing "/pbsecurity 0" or whatever it was some of
the other guys said when i was in the game for a few secs.

none of these worked i don't even get a punkbuster error in-game..
it just kicks me saying "error loading pbcl"

lil help pls?

yeah a few times, and downloaded the update files manually from the pb
website.

hours of google shows it to be a commonish problem but no definitive
fixes (that worked for me anyway)
