Punkbuster re-newed soon ?

regarding the latest hack of Punkbuster many things come up in my mind.
talking about the positive:

The hacked part seems to be some core procedure of Punkbusters code in detecting "bad" signatures of other processes in RAM. it would not surprise much, if it was used in several editions of Punkbuster for other Games (that are still supported) too. COD4 for example.

[edit: CSS removed :P]

That hack then applies to all supported games, and this will really STRESS coders at Punkbuster. they need to fix that soon, or other games will have the same problem soon.

That means if assumption 1 is true, the Punkbuster Core Code needs to be re-written, which would in fact be really good for ET as a new Punkbuster would be released.

Anyhow, nC didnt do evil things here i think. Its the first time i consider nC Coders as hackers, not fucktard Moneymakers.

much, if it was used in several editions of Punkbuster for other Games (that are still supported) too. CSS or COD4 for example.

since when?
i see stupid bugfixes
CSS isnt using punkbuster
Vac isn't that good anyways.
Parent
i think better thank PB at least
Parent
Every anti-cheat program can be hacked,bypassed :/
Parent
never said those programs arent unhackable :)
Parent
Oki :) My opinion was only pb don't make bad anti-cheat software, every anti-cheat program take much programmer's time, and it is much harder to secure something than break something.
Parent
nah, on css there are sooo many undetected public cheats.... vac2 is shit to be honest.
Parent
it doesnt matter anyway.
CSS has way more Lans with more prize money and a professional community where the top teams are sticking together for more than one event.
Parent
yeh true, but even when playing random irc wars there are many hackers, since the servers have nothing more than vac protection.

But true, the professionel level is much bigger/better than on ET + more supported by companies etc because the game is popular.
Parent
True, but Swine could you give me a link to an active CSS community or either a place where cups and tournaments are being organized?

Thanks in advance ^.^!
Parent
ofc not :DDDD

cs 1.6 got around 40 undetected PUBLIC cheats....
Parent
it doesnt matter anyway.

Parent
nice CP skills :P

but still vac2 isnt better than pb :DD
Parent
u dont get what i was talking about. as i assume this is a core feature, they cant hotfix this issue. they need to work out a new concept for their tool.
so??? Get on with !!!
Parent
if u would have read, u would have seen this is not whining at all.
They should disable pnkbstrA & B, it takes too much cpu usage & my pc is going crazy thanks to it!

The old PB procedure with an updated db and some general fixes should fix this all afaik.
QuotePunkbuster is good

Insta-fail.
Nothing is less of a hassle. Furthermore it's useless now.
indead, I hope pb get's renewed :)
just gtfo with pb, they failed big time
What else then PB?
