I have a linux server and we have our PB running I can join a game for about 5 seconds and then I get kicked and recieve a notice I was "kicked from server by PB for : resticted : Blocked O/S privelidges : 508 : 430"

Now I have uninstalled TC:E and ET totally from the system and reinstalled and I could get in a game until the map rotated then I was kicked again. We had to shut down PB on the server soI can get in. Dose anyone what the problem would be or how to fix it?

Is it a problem with the 2.6 patch?

This was posted on our clan forums..



I hope this helps

Kozuka, I did all that and still nothing.......It's really starting to ummmmm me off. I have tried to change the computer admin, the VX2 finder witch found nothing. I have tried just about everything I can think of.....fire walls off anti virus off and nothing. I know my wife can get in with her game useing the same hub and and modem and we have played on the server to gether and have the same TC:E setup just my PB is being a pain. I am at a total loss and really want to fix this so I can do TCE Wars...

Yeah I would love to help, but I use linux and have yet to see this problem. You could try deleting the game completely and re-installing.. At least thats what I would do.. If that doesn't work then it's a operating system problem resulting with punkbuster..

Peace
Kozuka

i know this is not the topic but it is related

does pbweb work for tce ?

and if so how to?

I tried to go into another server today and got the same error......Where would I look for a problem with the operating system...(witch is my personal computer..and the server runs of a linux server)....I will look around and see if I can find....What dose PB look for? or what othere programs dose it run with?

Yeah it works :

Go into C:\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\pb

and run pbweb.exe

Just an update on the PB O/S 508 : 430 problem....Nothing I have tried has worked yet......Any othere hints or tips please add them....I will try anything at this point...

Thanks
DW

this should fix the OS kicks your getting.

this may help also!



here is a for you all that keep getting kicked for OS crap ...


I keep getting kicked by PunkBuster for "Insufficient O/S Privileges". Is there some way to modify my system configuration to be an administrator equivalent from PunkBuster's perspective in Win2k/XP Pro?

Yes (under Win XP Pro or Win 2K). This can be accomplished by setting certain privileges for the user that will run the game. To do this, first temporarily log in as an Administrator. Then go to Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Local Security Policy. This will open up the Local Security setting window. Expand the Local Policies folder and select User Rights Assignment. This will bring up a list of security settings for the computer. You will need to add the user that will be launching the game to have the following privileges. If the user is logged in while making changes, the user must be logged out and back in for the changes to take effect.

Ok an update on the O/S problem with TC:E.....Nothing that anyone has given me to try has worked at all everything has been done from removing Nortons 05 to running several Highjackthis logs and nothing...I have truned off every system I can and run more spyware scans in the past week then most people will ina life time. I have yninstalled both ET and TC;E, I have been gine new Wolf-ET folders, new PB folders, new et main folders (all from my wife's computer that works with PB and still nothing....

Namco...I have Windows XP and I do not have what you are telling me to look for. I am the only admin on my system. I have gone through every folder, file anything I could find to look in to make sure all setting are right and firewalls and AV's are off at the time but no luck yet. I have even trid the 2.56--2.6 patch switcher and still nothing....

Anything more you have I will try....thanks again for allthe help..DW...

I'm still betting on infection as the problem. Just because anti-virus and antii-spyware doesn't detect it doesn't mean it's not infected.

If your on a single user machine and your user account as full admin access, I doubt it's a problem with the OS, unless you have changed or installed something RIGHT before it started happening.

As I think I said elsewhere TrueCombat League saw a very simular issue last season with clan [OUT] having 2 or 3 members infected.
They fought the problem for days, and some sort of malware was finally detected BUT nothing would kill it.
I beleive they ended up doing a reformat and reinstall to be able to play online again.

Really though, since this is only affecting you and it only begun happening recently and "all of a sudden" this points toward some sort of malware infection to me.

You COULD try running different anti-virus, anti-spyware stuff. For example if your running Norton, try McAfee or TrendMicro as for spyware try Adaware or PestPatrol.

I personally run Symentec Corporate Edition(excellent, much better than any of the home editions), PestPatrol and Adaware.
I hate to recommand you wipe ur harddrives and reinstall, but often it IS the easier way.

Hey man, it's alright. It's not just happening to you. It's happening to alot of people (that I know). I don't think it''s malware or spyware. Somethin' else probably. We can probably figure it out sometime.
