Solution for FPS lags (caused by PB)

by Deactivated5775 • 25 Aug 2007, 18:05 • Forums › Enemy Territory
After going through some journals and forum posts about this whole Punkbuster drama I found something that might help.

Quote Italy Mamalukes

1. Download the following program from the link below.

http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe


2. Open the program above and click the "Uninstall" button.

This will remove the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe service.


3. (optional) Some may need to rmove the registry entries.

Go to START --> RUN .. type "regedit" and search in the following parts:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Controlset00X\Services look for PnkBstrA PnkBstrB and PnkBstrK .. just right click on the folder listed on the left and delete.

( X = 1,2,3 )

4. Delete the following:

C:\windows\system32\drivers is PnkBstrK.sys



!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont know if it will work because I found this as a comment on journal that had something to do with QW (http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=27472) .. thats why I post this crap here to ask if it would be save to do all this since I've never installed QW. But still I want to get rid of these FPS lags.. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Deactivated5924 25 Aug 2007, 19:41
it worked when it wasn't required, but now pnkbstrb is required and you will just get kicked without it.

you stupid et needs it in some way, nice solution
▼
suA 25 Aug 2007, 22:29
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say in that post, but ET doesn't need those specific clients... it's just PB testing a new solution that doesn't require the user to have admin rights.

Block its access to the Internet in your firewall's options. Worked for me.
▼
Deactivated5775 25 Aug 2007, 20:48
I've blocked it in windows firewall shizzle & in norton anti virus

but when i hit CTLR ALT DEL I can still see it running in processes :/ or is that normal?
Parent

suA 25 Aug 2007, 22:30
yes that would be normal, as you only block the programs access to the network, and not for the process to run... so you might as well uninstall it...
