Punkbuster not updating


Banshee

Recommended Posts

I had a customer come to me lastnight and tell me the Punkbuster Update thats in TCAdmin wasnt working for him, So I tried it and he was right it wasnt. I had to run pbsetup on my dedicated box to update it for him..Any Ideas?? oh and it was for CoD4 if that matters..Thanks :)

The way the PB update works is by downloading the latest pb file from evenbalance.com. At that point the server should autoupdate itself. However, depending on network conditions and the version of PB you are running this does not allways happen. If you are running an older version of PB sometimes PB cannot autoupdate. Also remember that it takes some time for the server to download the new files and update itself, it is not instant in most cases.

 

The best thing to do is run the PB Update in the panel and then go into the game console and run the pb_sv_update command. This forces PB to update. It may also require restarting the PB server as well which can also be done in the console by running the pb_sv_restart command.

I've had several customers complain about COD4 PB not updating even after trying the update process several times. I have verified the pbsvnew.dll is created and after restart the pvsv.dll is updated with a new timestamp and and old version is renamed.

 

The error log shows:

 

Error #5B76A Making DLL wc002009

Error #5B76A Making DLL lc002009

 

...
