Delete the PB folder from the game installation, then run PBSetup and let it check for updates. Make sure you don't run PBSetup from inside the PB folder.


You can download the file here: http://mundus.wippiespace.com/misc/pbsetup_3.2.exe

#3 by kuraigu!

the only thing which still remains are these fps drops but i think that's because of the screenshots pb takes?

besides that, i MUST set the priority of pnkbstrB.exe to HIGH, otherwise it'll fail again.

so to anyone having this problem:

[11.28.2008 12:47:42] ERROR: CRITICAL ERROR: Service Priority Too Low (ffc2)

(you can find this in c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\Punbuster\ in file PnkBstrB.log)

then try my solution from here:

You have to do all in the order

never seen

whats this :O
'What can I do?'


To start with you could look at the thread below this one....:p

Most likely a firewall issue, programs accessing the net through other programs etc etc.

If not then try a reinstall of PB using PBSetup.
ur pb just died,

Parent

Parent
omg beltard only joke
Parent
i have it also sometimes ... happende me last weeks no idea what it is
Heeeey its very strange i only get this in supply depot :S
I had this when I had two ET:s opened same time.
i got kicked for that yesterday, just rebooted and everything was fine.
never had that problem
never had any problem
never had problems
tell me how to fix the lags instead
agree mit dem von drüben
Parent
wat is this shit
new gamehack
got kicked every 2 mins :<
you hacker
it means that PB died?
That's a good sign!
agree, never had any probs with punkbuster
never had problems, but more stickies pls
why would some1 replace his PB stuff with anything thats NOT from the evenbalance website? Maybe I should also prepare a package with some extra features? Think about it.

(no offense tho mundus)
XD

ur right in generall...but would i offer xiits here as cb admin XDD Think about it!
Parent
why would i even care what or who you "work" for. Its just wrong to trust any1 in such stuff...
Parent
Your like a politician. Allways looking the downsides from a perfectly good thing. Use your head, fuck.
Parent
because someone would trust mundus.
if not -> gtfo and go try another solution

easy as that :)
cheers
Parent
Because it's a free online game
Parent
Quotekuraigu • ok soooooo
kuraigu • i think it's drweb interfering pb
kuraigu • i had both agnitum outpost and drweb antivir turned off
kuraigu • then i turned back on drweb and not much later the shit heartbeat stopped again


Hope that may help some others also with this problem.
By the way, there not private mIRC logs :)
cancer pb realy
maybe repair this problem " CORRUPTED FILE / MEMORY " ?
You get that error when you are using cheats btw
Parent
I had that specific error @ RTCW single player, no cheats active or smth... only once though, could play again after restart.
Parent
doesn't really repair it for me. it dos work longer, but it's still there!
even if you replace the folder whit the folder you can download ?
Parent
How about getting kicked after every small update because PB doesn't auto-update?
*[11.26.2008 22:55:48] ERROR: CRITICAL ERROR: Service Priority Too Low (ffc2)* -- kuraigu is getting that error when he gets kicked so if anyone can shed some light on that?
is it just me or does anyone else never had any problems with his/her et? oO
what hannes said, and how exactly is your pb file different then the one EB creates?
please get a fix to disallowed program/driver [80251] -> this is not a cheat <-
coming from someone who used pbdeception and etbot. i woudn't lol.
Parent
my name is not on the list so what is your problem
Parent
Does not work.
same, just workin on german servers..
Parent
i get this kick: Pb kicked by general pb authentication reinstall pb bla bla bla..
#2 works for me! thx
it WORKED.. now it doesn't =(
Parent
same here -_-
Parent
3.4 is latest pbsetup version for windows tbh
it will autoupdate the whole pb ;)
Parent
for me it didn't. It tryed but it failed.

ps. why cant it be in pb folder, i have never had any probs for having it there.
Parent
I have the same fkcin problem..
it doesn't work...
Deleted my ET folder,
made backup of my ETkey,
installed ET again
put my ETkey back in etmain folder,
updated pb with pbsetup.
worked for me..
ok i did all the same as gr1zzly

but that failed.


i did it another way.. deinstalled pnkbstr services with pbsvc.exe .. deleted every file having pnkbstr in it ..

deleted every even balance / punkbuster / pnkbstr entry related to ET from the registry
(dont remove other entrys if you have games like cod4 and so on)

rebooted.

then deleted the pb folder.


then started pbsetup exe as administrator (on winxp, choose your username as administrator account), updated pb.

then i've started pbsvc.exe as administrator (again, as yourself as admin) and installed the services again.

then i went onto a server, used a minimiser and set the priority of pnkbstrB.exe to high and kept on playing.

(open taskmanager and go to the processes tab, there right click onto pnkbstrB.exe and
choose set priority, there set it to HIGH!!)

this worked for a full hour now. i just disconnected myself to report this and gonna try later again.

so this method is still NOT confirmed yet!

it might be that eb has updated the damn service today, if not then try this method!

good luck!
Can't change the priority.

Apparently access denied. :/
Parent
what os, mate?
Parent
Windows xp
Parent
it seems you aren't logged in as administrator if you're not allowed to set the prioritys of services.
Parent
My account is the only administrator account on this computer :)
Parent
and you can't alter the priority?

google for process lasso, a handy process / task managment tool
Parent
I'll take a look later.

Cheers. :)
Parent
does it keep working or was it temporairy ?
Parent
it does help it seems.

check out my journal for further infos!
Parent
[ger] Also für mich läufts... Versuche aufjedenfall die erste version wenns nciht geht die zweite.. bei mir hat auch erst die zweite geholfen.. Was sehr wichtig ist, kein Mozilla oder IRC oder LimeWire im Hintergrund laufen lasse!
[/ger]

GL!
Parent
at first I was like "FINALLY A SOLUTION!" but then I got kicked several times in a row again :)
yeah indeed ! :DDDD you couldn't play the war :< i got kick as well in the secend map .
Parent
i'm getting rly tired of playing whit shit graphics :/ i get kick if i do vid_restart ... AND I NeeD VID_RESTART TO get my default config graphics
do it before connecting to the gameserver . thats what i do :P
Parent
tried my method yet?
Parent
no i didn't but i don't really get kicked for heartbeats so often i just get kicked for it because of the vid_restart and if i don't do vid_restart i can play just fine but I'll gonna do vid_restart before i connect to a server ...
i only get kicked for ::

Parent

GTFO pb, u fail :XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

image: fail_square_wheel_tricycle_gtfo_n00b
iv had this problem for weeks now :/ if i delete the pb folder, and run pb setup, do i need to run it every time i play ET, or just check for updates every now and then?
thanks :~>
pbsvc.exe + uninstall helped for 2 maps, then you gotta do it again
the failure is "varit" ?

thats not nice :-(

im mean he is kinde strange and weird, but that doesnt mean it should be announce+sticky
i fixed it.. i just deleted everytime i were going to play et my profiles.. and than just play et...worked for me :)
fucking christ, can somebody find a real solution?
still cant play et :<
thx to pb now i've random fps from 60 to 100 :s plz fix it i prefer play vs cheaters than random fps =/
same i dnt have no firewall ive reinstalled pb i tryed everything that it beening saying over the enet but it hasnt worked pb has fuked up
#1 FAIL
#2 FAIL
#3 FAIL
pb_security 0 -> reconnect... np
Worked for me, at least it let me play longer than before (2 mins before, then kicked for heartbeats, tried this last night played over 10 mins :P)

buuuttttt i'm getting freezes every 10 seconds or so... no kicks though :/
Parent
this is bs, no need to fuck with this

i got kicked for it,and just reconnected, did /pb_security 0 and worked flawless.
Yes...because this failure is totally related to configs.
at me all failed, i tried everything even opened trubble ticket at evenbalance and even them cant help me still..
me 2, tried all
if anyone want for help, i can post the answers from evenbalance on trubble tickets that i got. I tried that but didnt helped at me, but maybe will work at someone else.
i did the same , think we just have to w8 till we got other new patch from Pb : x
Parent
yh probably, cuz i think evenbalance does not have any good idea to solove this problem atm. I just hope that some of them will start working on this problem soon, cuz im pretty sick of this kicks middle of wars.
damn pb, I always get kicked bec. of "heartbeats stopped", updated, reinstalled pb etc. it just doesnt work :((((
get ram ! On my pc it works.
