Management hellreturn Posted January 29, 2012 Management Share Posted January 29, 2012 EB is not supporting PB for ET anymore. Better to run server with PB off. But off course it's up to you. Â silEnT mod gives out it's own etkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petbark Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 As Raner knows we run a SiLent server with PB enable and very little problems in general.It was when he tried connecting that the issuse with him became apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted January 29, 2012 Management Share Posted January 29, 2012 What does PC crashing mean? Windows stops responding? To be clear, is it the client side Windows that is crashing when connecting to a server with PB enabled? What is your antivirus software? Maybe that will say something to someone.

Petbark Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It is Raners system locking up that is the issue. Meaning the Computer is none responsive to any input, not even ctrl+alt+del.It points to something on his system is the problem.This is what he has posted as his system OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 ProfessionalOther OS Description Windows xp Professional Duel bootSystem Manufacturer RaNeRSystem Model RaNeR's RigSystem Type x64-based PCProcessor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor, 4000 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 6 Logical Processor(s) (water Cooled)Adapter Description: AMD Radeon HD 6870 2GB's MemoryPower supply: 1000 WattsInstalled Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GBTotal Virtual Memory 16.0 GBAvailable Virtual Memory 14.0 GB If we get an answer we will let you all know.

clan DIABOLIK Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Hi I've got the same problem on NQ and silEnT when PB is enabled. And I've just migrated from XP to Win7 .... like the original post, problem occurs after some minutes playing normally (no message of PB distress, nothing, just client crash) ET.exe PnkBstrA.exe PnkBstrB.exe are set to "Win XP - SP2 compatibility" and "Run As Administrator".PB files are those from etkey.orgTried with ETkey and/or SILENTkey.No anti-virus (!) Specific Seven problem ? I can't find the info on internet ! Edited January 31, 2012 by blackops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted January 31, 2012 Management Share Posted January 31, 2012 I haven't had any problems with PB on Windows 7. Difference in my setup is that I don't have XP compatibility set. Only running as administrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan DIABOLIK Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thx gaoesa - gonna try revert to default for the 3 exe files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petbark Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I am the same as gaoesa. I run win 7 64bit but only ever have run as administrator checked with no backward compatibility chosen and no problems. I have used the files from etkey.org on another system and they work fine with SilEnt, not tried NQ. What are your system specs????

clan DIABOLIK Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Concerning my fresh WIn7, I think it is general problem with my computer, sorry for original post, so I've posted here today to have help: http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/211858-big-loss-fps-after-seven-migration.html but maybe I should buy a new one .....

RaNeR Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well All...I pinned it down to pb that is causing my windows 7 Crash... Read On...Well got to play ET on a pb server running silent Mod 0.5.0 but not the way I want. I have two OS's on my PC that are independed of each other, Windows 7 Pro x 64 bit and windows XP Pro x 32 bit...So just to see what would happen I fired up Windows XP had to do a bunch of updating because it was set up for my old hardware. I did a PC upgrade a while back. After I got done updating everything I coped my etkey and autoexec.cfg to my Windows XP Pro ET.I did not update pb I had not used this copy of ET in over a year. Fired up ET went into ET pb enabled server that is causing the crash on my Windows 7 pro and started playing everything worked just as it should no crash no nothing. So the problem with my windows 7 is pb. I know that for sure because windows 7 and windows xp are running out of the same Box and out of the same rounter.If I play on a ET server that has pb disabled I can play ET on any mod all day long on Windows 7 with no problems at all so that leaves one thing punkbuster. My windows 7 never had any crash problems what so ever, the crash started when pb dropped support on enemy terrtiory I know this for a fact because I had pb enabled on my silent mod server and never had a problem with any type of crash on windows 7. So has anybody gone threw this problem and figured out a way to fix it. Sorry for posting this here because it's not a silent Mod problem but I figured you all would not mind too much. Thanks RaNeR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber JohnDory Posted February 7, 2012 Subscriber Share Posted February 7, 2012 Aren't the PB files for ET the same for XP and windows7 x64 ? if so why not just copy the one from your XP drive to the Windows 7 drive and try that ?Windows 7 home premium x64 has no trouble with PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaNeR Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 YEH... I can try that... I'll just have to do a bit of Engineering because windows 7 stores files in a different manner than Xp does. But it is doable... I'll mess with it when I get home tonight..
