PunkBuster gone too far!

[Jonnycat]

Oh look, our resident cheater Casheti is sharing his perspective about punkbuster.

 

[Casheti]

Don't cry...

 

[DaMulta]

It's because of people like Casheti that we have to deal with these things.....Btw getting shot one hit one kill without even seeing that person sucks.....

 

[Casheti]

Don't cry...

He's right.

 

[hat]

Punkbuster has no effect on my performance at all. Infared, your system pwnz mine and you're complaining about punkbuster lol. Punkpuster takes 0% of my CPU, 3,904K of RAM, and 2,338K of my page file. My body uses more resorces when I fart.

Look at CPU time useage while gaming.

PB doesnt even stop all the cheats ...its just about a worthless application...seems to stop older cheats but lots of cheats are getting buy PB....thats why when you play on a PB server you still see people cheating.

I starting doing that... then fear crashed... thanks PB!!

EDIT: There's no way of proving this was down to PB, but it didn't used to crash before the PB updates. Very frustrating

A while back i found pnkbstrA.exe in my task manager and thought nothing of it since i was playing a game at the time and guessed that it must start with the game..

Only to find that the version of punkbuster installs several files, and a service.

I don't know about you lot, but this really pisses me off. i uninstalled it all, cleared up the services it created etc, and the next time i opened a PB game it all reinstalled. What gets to me is that they don't ask permission to do this. In my opinion, being able to install files to the System32 folder without permission is a big no-no.

Now every time i do some benchmarking, i've got yet another unwanted process to close.

Same thing here, I havent played 2142 in ages.. and wtf ITS RUNNING?!?!!

Its spyware... EA gathers personal information and sells it! Conspiracy! I know it.

Try re-reading your EULA when installing your game.

Every game that contains PB, has a second PB eula you agree to.

Yes, you already agreed to it.

Why do you think I don't run games that are infected with bullcrap like that? Punkbuster keeps cheating asswipes out, but it isn't very good when it messes up. :/

Wolf is the only game I have that is, but on OS X it has no service or process that wastes space like windows, so it doesn't really matter.

Blizzards "warden" does an excellent job, honestly.

So excellent in fact that my friend has been running a glider in WoW for 3 months now without getting caught! The gold pays for wow plus some

PB sucks. In AA, I get killed loads of times by someone who isnt even there. And it icks you if you are AFK for 1 min. You could be throwin up or somethin...

 

[hat]

lol that would suck... go to take a piss and OMGWTFBBQ I BEEN KICKED

 

[bigboi86]

I play BF2 and use punkbuster servers... but the service doesn't run on my computer.

EDIT: Oh yea, you suck casheti.

 

[Casheti]

Oh yea, you suck casheti.

I thank you.

i know what you mean, and why is it i blanked my pc yesterday and i played battlefield off my slave drive from a previous install and punkbuster just now runs all the time it didnt ask me to install its self, i like what punk buster does but is it needed all the time?

 

[Jonnycat]

That is a server-specific setting that is set by the server administrator. Punkbuster only enforces the rules and limits that the server administrator sets up for that particular server. If you do not like the setting, your complaint is with the server administrator, not the Punkbuster application.

OR we could talk about PB instead of bashing casheti i hate cheaters but bashing members is like cheating and the ban stick never misses even the newstuff


and btw i hate how it runs in the background it should only start during games

It's all good, he kind of asked for it It's not exactly bashing him either, he doesn't mind.

 

[Solaris17]
