PunkbusterB.exe solution?

Hoi nerds,

as the last journal worked that good with the high detail config stuff i thought i will give it another try with a next problem.

first of all, i know there were already some posts about this right here and i've already googled it, without success.

- so, i am getting this "PunkbusterB.exe heartbets stopped blabla" error after about 1 min, while playing on a public server ( it's only on pub servers not private servers ).

- i have already updated the pb, deleted the whole pb folder + updated it again, did this pb_system 1 command ingame, turned off the windows firewall + antivir ( also deleted antivir + turned of the windows firewall without success ), checked if the punkbsuterA + B.exe services are running.

So finally i am somehow helpless.

p.s. i am using vista

Run as admin then. And make sure services are running correctly and such. services.msn in run.

Hello my name is doctor, hans jerkkof... Whats your name?
run pbsvc.exe
what you mean?
Parent
ermm download pbsvc.exe and run it :) it should be on pb site or just google it.
Parent
yep already dis, still the same shit ffs...

is it somethin in my config maybe? any command or something?
Parent
dunno what can help U :(
maybe try to delete pb services from registry and then run pbsetup.
Parent
by deleting registry key that stands for pb. Google for it - i am sure U will find full path where it should be. U can also try to load your windows restorepoint.
Parent
because there is a command in your config that probably has to be on 0,1 or any other value(and ofc it's not in your config) so look for commands that do not have the correct value!
ctr+alt+delete

select pnkbstrB

end process

Have you messed with your windows services?
nope, nothing changed.
Parent
The only thing that worked for me to get it to stop kicking me was a windows "repair" once I done that everything was fine again, I had thought that it was something I changed in services that caused it in the first place
Parent
well i didnt change anything there + it only happens on public server ( gues cause there is the pb config on ).
Parent
have you checked that you dont have any ET processes running before you start your ET?
ofc there should be punkbstrA and B but nothing more. Got this heartbeat error when i had ET running in backround :OO :X
