PunkBuster Problems
Hello all,
I recently ran into problems with PunkBuster, which is an anti-cheating program, and apparently it's caused by a missing PnkBstrB.exe service. The result is that I can't play the game (Enemy Territory: Quake Wars) because it kicks me out the minute I try to enter to a PB-enabled server. Anyone here got a PB-enabled game (Battlefield, Call of Duty, Quake, Raindow Six, etc)? If so, could you navigate to c:\windows\system32 and send the "PnkBstrB.exe" to me? Or if you got a better solution, I'm all ears. The tools from Evenbalance.com didn't work and I got the latest drivers. |

I had the exact same problem with CoD4 but have you tried to manually/automatically update it?
Otherwise, you said their site didn't work for you, are you sure you checked the correct area of the site? It was so long ago I did this so I don't really remember. If this really don't help I guess I could send it to you.

If you got the file, you can send it to wordplay.ea AT gmail.com. Just no virii, since I would hate to utterly destroy it with a soon-be format **Edit** Didn't work. Damn, I'm stumped. The program simply refuses to work, so ETQW got shafted. I can't even crack the program since I have a paid account. Seriously bad software. But thanks for sending the file, AtomicoX.

Update your Motherboard, Video card, Sound card (If you have one) Drivers.
MotherBoard driver update fixed it on my old computer.

Actually, I formatted my whole comp a few days ago and worked after that. I think the reason why it stopped working was the fact that there are three kinds of patches for the game: server, client, and "1.0-1.5." I probably took a wrong one, so it messed up the PB files stored outside the game-folder (so deleting the game wouldn't help).
Too bad I still found the game bad and trashed it the following day. |
