If u have problems with ET / 2015

Guys, I had many problems with my laptop while playing fucking ET. I had some retarded kind of lags/warps (sometimes) and fucking sick feeling when aiming. I mean, I wrote about it here once, but tbh nobody could help me. The thing was that one day I could shoot like a fucking motherfucker (I mean acc ofc, but general shooting), but the next day was so fucked up, that u cant imagine. I was thinking about several reasons, but at the end I knew that it is all about my fucking laptop.

I tried almost everything - drivers of graphic cards (I have two - integrated and dedicated geforce), rinputs, priority, cfgs, even drugs and the problem remain. The ugliest thing was that sometimes playing was really enjoyable (it is ET goddamit!) and some day it sucked my dogs dick. So I was looking for the reason of that many times and yesterday I think I found it.

It is not a big deal tbh, but Ive found this yesterday (after months of struggling) - there are services PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB. They are fucking shit. I mean, everybody heard about problems with pb, but Ive never earlier heard about disabling these shit fuckers. It helps a lot. It works silently making ur game frustrating.

If u wanna play nbs (with pb), u change PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB to manual start, but not disable, cuz u wont join bobikas kingdom. THen, after being on server already, stop this two services. Ive noticed that there is no clear reason which services will turn on, I mean sometimes, in my case, there are only the B one, and sometimes both. So u have to go stop this cancer and u can roll on nbs like vardasca.

THank u and gl in ur lifes. Mission completed.

PS DOnt bother to ask any question. Dont write about death or some other sad things.

How to set pnkbstrA and B manual start?
Alt+ctrl+delete and go services. Find them and click Right mouse Button on them. Properties Or sth and u should handle that. I dont know How it really works (I have some idea ofc,by u know), by u can test It by urself and chęci these services after running et.

I laughed so hard reading this really you made my day :D

But dont you think its beacuse your cpu is overheated while playing? Do you use intel cpu?
Yea, I was thinking about it two months ago. But my conclusions are :
- ok, it is not perfect, a little bit hot
- but its not that bad
- I should try to clean it up and change thermal paste
- I dont have money for things like that (I dont want to it by my own, cuz my lenovo is retarded, as u know now, and opening it is more complicated than usual - checked on youtube)
- I will do it in the future

Yea, I have intel!

You dont need to do that. There are some programs which can control the turbo thing of your notebook. You can fix your cpu clock so it wont get overheated while you play and the cpu clock wont drop below the minimum you could play ET smoothly.
Parent
Ok, thanks. Any example of program like that? I will Read about It.
Parent
When i get home i ask for you. My brother uses it on his notebook, dont know the name of that but i a sure you can find by yourself on google ;)
Parent
ok, thank u very much! ill google it, but dont hesitate to share with me later (here!)
Parent
its "throttlestop" so google it and you can download it instantly :)

For the punkbuster-part, here's a batch-script enable/disable pnkBstr.A/B
Quote@echo off
net start | find "PnkBstrA"

goto PA%ERRORLEVEL%
:PA0
set PNKA=1
goto testAdone
:PA1
set PNKA=0
goto testAdone

:testAdone
net start | find "PnkBstrB"

goto PB%ERRORLEVEL%
:PB0
set PNKB=1
goto testBdone
:PB1
set PNKB=0
goto testBdone

:testBdone
set /A PNKSUM=%PNKA%+%PNKB%

rem Neither of the Punkbuster services are running so start them
if %PNKSUM% EQU 0 goto punkstart

rem One or both of the Punkbuster services are running so stop them
if %PNKSUM% GTR 0 goto punkstop
goto endbatch

:punkstart
echo Starting PnkBstrA Service...
NET START PnkBstrA
echo Starting PnkBstrB Service...
NET START PnkBstrB
echo Run the batch file again to stop the Punkbuster services
goto endbatch

:punkstop
if %PNKA% EQU 0 goto skipstopA
echo Stopping PnkBstrA Service...
NET STOP PnkBstrA
:skipstopA
if %PNKB% EQU 0 goto skipstopB
echo Stopping PnkBstrB Service...
NET STOP PnkBstrB
:skipstopB
echo Run the batch file again to start the Punkbuster services
goto endbatch

:endbatch
rem cleanup environment variables used when testing for services
set PNKA=
set PNKB=
set PNKSUM=
I thought disabling those services were old news lol
