Kicked by punkbuster for prior ban/kick (2 minutes)

{RW}xrwxrwx

Hi,

To my knowledge, I have never been banned from a server. Is there a specific reason I'm getting this kick from punkbuster?

It could be that your account didn't authenticate due to not logging in. It happens alot if you try to joing a game or match from steam by joinning a friends game and not starting the game first.
Did you try to start the game by an invite from a steam friend or by joining a steam friend game?

No. I was playing on the CMH server when I got kicked.

That's a good point though, it IS Tuesday. I was just curious about the nature of previous ban/kick, since I have never been banned and I don't hack.

I should mention that I have gotten kicked for "failure to authenticate" due to steam being down, but this is a different error message all together.

The exact kick message could be useful, you didn't go to jail for ROE violation by any chance?
(i don't know if PB handles these type of kicks tho)
Anyway, the kick is most likely not cheat related, but its hard to tell sins its a follow up kick.

You may have been kicked for any number of reasons the message you got prior ban/kick (2 minutes) shows only how many minutes you have left before you can rejoin that server i am sure if you try to join again all will be fine.

It could be some server running a nonsensical restriction like "too many past usernames."

Don't worry about it to much, you didn't do anything wrong. We have it a lot lately with the linux servers, people lose connection on map switch and join back in to fast for the server to realize you were gone causing it to kick for duplicated GUID. Although not saying this is the case with you, it can be anything and since its on the official server they use the standard KickLen of 2 minutes in the pbsv.

- Ignoring MD5Tool Queries
- Losing Key Packets
- Service Communication Failure
- PB INIT FAILURE
- Disallowed Program/Driver

These are the most common one's that I see daily, just make sure you have updated your PunkBuster (Only after a fresh install of AAPG will it run the older client and not auto update itself) and make sure both PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe are allowed in your firewall / anti-virus program.

Sorry, I tried to be as exact as possible but I accidentally restarted my computer and no longer have s screenshot.

It is not ROE kick.

I am only concerned because it says "prior ban/kick" and to my knowledge I have never been banned.

Removing "-SE-Ehlonna" **** (2 minute) Prior Kick/Ban

This means you got kicked for something, and when the server (official does) have their KickLen on 2 minutes it instantly kicks you with that message. It doesn't mean you are banned, or violated anything.

To update PunkBuster you should use the PB Setup;

md5Tool kicks are mostly violations, so I doubt he gets kicked because of that. It's most likely he runs an outdated (fresh game install) PB version or has network time outs.

If the server owner set their KickLen to 0 minutes then he can instantly reconnect, unless they have their server streamed and the player gets kicked for md5's (if cheat related) it will be a permanent ban on that server and any other server streaming to the anti cheat organization.

Unless you are referring to "Ignoring MD5Tool Queries", that is not cheat related and can be fixed if the server owner increases the value for md5toolfreq because that's the cause most of the time for those kicks. But I can assure you that any md5tool kicks related to known cheats on a streamed server will result in a permanent ban.

The PunkBuster on the server (if setup correctly with configs) sends requests to check every player with md5tool checks, if the frequency is set to low the players side starts ignoring some of the requests and when that happens PunkBuster will kick those players under "Ignoring MD5Tool Queries".

Then some servers, like I use to do also check non-cheat related md5's. The one I checked as well was AAGame.exe, which is not cheat related but we did that to check the hash and see if people manipulated it. If done incorrectly PunkBuster will kick players for having the wrong AAGame.exe. That's why I'm telling you that only cheat related md5's will result in a permanent ban on streamed servers, if you don't stream your server they can come back to that same server unless the server admin manually bans that player.

Unless I understand you questions incorrect since I'm pretty much playing cryptogram with your words, this is how the system works.. You can test it all out on a local server, but don't use known cheats for testing because that can still result in a global ban.
