its like deleting all the cops and fbis of the world, unless we got a better option

pb doesn't stop people from cheating anyway, it's pretty much completely useless
Parent
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:03
but without it would be easily to get public cheats, there is still crimes that wont get solved till theres cops but having punkbuster still decreases the amount of cheaters, it cant get every cheater busted

It's pretty much obvious whether someone cheats or not in most cases, punkbuster stops many people from enjoying the game while those who want to cheat will end up doing that without major problems anyway.
Parent
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:19
but still without it we would have much more cheaters
Parent
▼
kot 6 Feb 2009, 18:24
I'd rather have more cheaters and be able to actually play the game without fps drops than get frustrated each game and play cheaters once in a while anyway...
Parent
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:25
but there wouldnt be anyone left without cheats
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 19:07
Then go and try a random public non pb server and let´s see if your frustration is getting lower because you have no lag at all :)

Indeed, otherwise we will strike.

S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:09
np with pb, get pc.
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:14
look at my pc in my profile.... i won't play ET until i can't get more than 80-90 fps

250 fps @ cod4 cod2 and any other games i can get 125 but ET....
Parent
▼
Rhand 6 Feb 2009, 18:16
newsflash, those other games use PB as well
Parent
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:18
ture, so what then ?
Parent
▼
Rhand 6 Feb 2009, 18:19
I don't think PB is to blame for it.
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:19
My specs are lower and I reach 125 fps everywhere at every map in every situation. Little lag when pbss is uploading but no fps drops. Maybe there are other issues, cfg/res...
Parent
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:23
well, what kind of cfg do you use then ? :/ i mean video settings

cuz i use the same cfg what i used on my old pc... the only thing what i 've changed is r_mode
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:31
Pretty normal cfg, nothing tweaked to the max except picmip and some brightness stuff.
If you use your monitor´s native resolution of 1.920 x 1.200 this might be a point. I´m using CRT with r_mode 6 and 16x Antialiasing, pretty sharp and fps are stable.
e: And I hope you have threaded optimization disabled in nvidia control panel :)

i use 1920x1200 @ cod4 and cod2 too and got 250 fps everywhere

and im not even using antialiasing either anisotropic filtering
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:48
And both are D3D games not opengl like ET. Maybe ET´s fps are more affected by higher resolutions, dunno tbh but could be.
Parent
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:50
what about q3 i got stable 1000 fps if i want @ quake3
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:54
Tried r_mode 9 (1600x1200) and 75 hz, the highest my monitor can get. Same fps and Antialiasing still enabled. So this can´t be the problem :)
Parent
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:54
ohh and i got 250 @ cod1 too so... :|

this is a failgame really
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:55
Yes blaming the game and pb is an easy way of solving problems.
Parent
▼
phobeus 6 Feb 2009, 18:57
i will try your video settings later and will send you a comment what happens

gonna paly paly cod4 now :)
Parent
▼
lahq 6 Feb 2009, 18:20
You obviously do something wrong then. Since my pc is worse than yours and I for myself never got any problems like fps drops. Stable 125 fps for 3 years. Maybe update / downgrade your graphic drivers? :\ Only thing which really annoys me are those huge lag spikes everytime pb is doing some screenshot.
Parent
▼
Heselaittaa 6 Feb 2009, 19:25
well u rly must suck with computers :D im using 200 dollar pc and get easily 125 fps with high settings @ ET :P its not pb since ur cod4 works with pb just fine :>
Parent

savatjee 6 Feb 2009, 18:11
I so agree. Best thing I've heard from you in quite some time Kot. :p
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:12
you swedish people dont get what disabling it would cause
Parent
▼
savatjee 6 Feb 2009, 18:14
I do. But I wouldn't use some silly hack anyway, and if people want to cheat it's up to them. I rather let some crippled punks use public hacks and let the skilled part of the community play without this ridiculous lag.
Parent
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:15
yes you would.
Parent
▼
savatjee 6 Feb 2009, 18:17
Nah, seriously I wouldn't. I play because it's fun.
Parent
▼
Rhand 6 Feb 2009, 18:17
half the community here would start using public cheats if pb was disabled
Parent
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 18:19
thats what i said, but half isnt enough
Parent
▼
Rhand 6 Feb 2009, 18:20
yeah, but he obviously needed a simpler message
Parent
▼
OfficerCohen 6 Feb 2009, 18:14
why you need to disable it? :D
just install linux 8D
▼
dnl 6 Feb 2009, 18:14
I agree, it's still causes this mega 15 seconds fps drops which I have like every 5 mins and one of our players is still getting kicked because of heartbeats (he tried every solution from this and every site). fucking crap, people who have private hacks are not getting kicked anyway.
▼
Rhand 6 Feb 2009, 18:17
yes, listen to this polak who barely plays the game anymore!

kot 6 Feb 2009, 18:29
no, listen to a supporter of jews!

JEW POWER!

Done, np.

Smasher 6 Feb 2009, 18:29
remove pb and replace it with antipro!
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 18:39
afaik it will still need pb
Parent
▼
Smasher 6 Feb 2009, 19:15
sure,but the lags and fps drops will disappear.i was playing on the beta server and i had no single lag or fps drops.
Parent
▼
S3ti 6 Feb 2009, 19:19
pb is disabled on the betaserver if I´m right.
QuotePunkbuster is currently disabled because it seems like Evenbalance needs to put every mod (each version, each build) on a whitelist - otherwise people get kicked for corrupted file/memory (if I'm wrong on this one, please inform me about it).
Parent
▼
HellHammer 6 Feb 2009, 18:41
AGREE. Now more and more people are forced to install linux to play a simple game -.-.

I mean, its just not funny anymore.
▼
rize 6 Feb 2009, 18:46
agree, i hit nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
▼
Krein 6 Feb 2009, 18:54
sure, let's disable it just before et masters with cash prizes :)
▼
Jadolek 6 Feb 2009, 18:54
just make antipro competetive.
▼
Scarce 6 Feb 2009, 18:56
remove it and lets blame guys who still keep playing with haxes
▼
Deactivated6142 6 Feb 2009, 19:02
how u identify them without pbguids and ip's, etproguids are easily spoofable
Parent

Kiewan 6 Feb 2009, 18:57
or ban poland and domi

akshukovitzky 6 Feb 2009, 18:58
throw the piece of shit lag out of the window

lettu 6 Feb 2009, 19:00
playing ET atm is pretty useless
constant pblag + trashy ettv servers = lol
▼
walle 6 Feb 2009, 19:04
why would you want to make cheating easier than it already is

lag is no excuse
▼
kot 6 Feb 2009, 19:16
I don't know, maybe because it stops shitloads of people from enjoying the game?
Parent
▼
squalli 6 Feb 2009, 19:23
Buy new computer or something/get better server cos I don't lag at all!
Parent
▼
kot 6 Feb 2009, 19:29
My PC should be good enough for ET and in fact it was good enough until they introduced pnkbstra and pnkbstrb services :c
Parent
▼
squalli 6 Feb 2009, 19:30
Well your computer is good enough for ET but not for pb 8)))
Parent
▼
moody 6 Feb 2009, 19:27
IDD man disable PB its such as shit cuz it doesnt stop anybody from hacking ... such as crap
▼
Deactivated5918 6 Feb 2009, 19:39
