pbss black

Multiple players having black pbss and leading to servers bans which then leads to literally having 2 servers to play on. I am not exactly sure what causes it.

Also badmins that dont like getting rolled, none the less it would be nice to have normal pbss.
Bhop is a string of jumps with no interruptions.

    It's not the black pbss that is a problem, its the badmin that bans for it. Last time i got kicked for pbss, he claimed i had a black pbss yet there was only one pbss taken and that one was transfer incomplete. They are using pbss as an excuse, the Devs should have made the rule when having a Auth server you are not allowed to BAN randomly with out actual proof of cheating, would save us a lot trouble trust me.

    Also, there is nothing really you can do with it. It's simple really, Server tries to make pbss, then you have success, no success (black) or transfer incomplete. Then it sends it out to evenbalance, they see the same deal and as long they don't repair the errors then we have to live with it.

    Just got banned today for black screenshots... with no warning.

    How is it fair to be banned by a problem you don't know how to fix?

    Devs, please remove punkbuster! it's so terrible even EA stopped putting it in their games.

    Punkbuster is not the problem here admins banning for black screenshots is the problem.
    The biggest cause of black screenshots is windowed mode and or Minimizing.
    There are others causes but these are the most common and I have tested it.
    A few weeks ago a player had all black screenshots I asked him if he was using windows mode and he was so i asked him to put it on full screen for a test he did and from then on all his pbss was clear.
    Its the same with not sending any screenshot if you update pb 99% of the time it fixes it.
    So admins before you ban a player try helping them fix it.
    Here is how to fix not sending any screenshots.

    Funny how one clan asks to fix the screenshot after they are getting [TOS Violation] kicked :) Noobs can have their blackscreenshots.

    That's funny, you instantly kicked me after the server took one screen that was "Transfer incomplete".

    And if we look at it now how things work with these anticheats, it might be better to have black since some anticheat organizations are banning pbss from spectator views. I made a post yesterday on this forum but got removed, my guess they don't care if our GUID's get banned for no reason.

    Stop talking rubbish and lets try to help for once.

    I did try to help all the players that were unfairly banned on pbbans 3 days ago, but apparently the AAPG team doesn't give a [TOS Violation] and removed the post, so go take a look yourself and then we talk.
  • There are hacks out there that take advantage of the spectate mode that's why we have
    bDefaultAllowOccludedMeshSpectate= set to false then is no confusion.
    The dev's should remove this mode from the game.
    Also you was never kicked from our server for "Transfer incomplete".
    Now lets get back to helping.

    I'm aware of those they hook them into d3d9, but you can clearly see the difference on them. The parts that are not behind cover turns yellow so you will see yellow/red soldiers most of the time. Not really hard to detect.
    Also you was never kicked from our server for "Transfer incomplete".

    You did, i was playing under El~Diablo :lol: and i checked the list of screens where it showed me that it was transfer incomplete. But it's oke ;)

    The kick had nothing to do with pbss read your pm.

    Yeah, that was horrible, but nothing that the devs/game project has anything to do with.
    If you feel the need to do something about it, register on their site and point out the flaws.

    Of course they can do something about it, if one of the Developers contact them and letting them know with "he guys you are banning people for something that is part of the game" in a professional matter I'm pretty sure the issue would be resolved and those players get unbanned. Because right now the false banning season has opened on a whole new level and it's only getting worse.
