PunkBuster: New version, Important notes for non Admin XP users, disconnected users

Wednesday 06.02.2004 [8:30AM]

Version 1.084 of the PB Client for BF1942 has been released to our PB Master
Servers for auto-update and to our website download page.

Release Notes for PB Client v1.084:


a.. includes a new setting called pb_netport that can be used as a
workaround for players who get "Disconnected from server" after PB sends
Master Query Packets; the default value for this setting is 0 which means PB
will continue to use the game's network socket to communicate with PB
masters; setting this to a non-zero value (such as 15000) will cause PB to
use a separate network socket for Master Query Packets; this setting can be
placed into the pbcl.cfg file in the pb folder to configure PB to use this
setting each time it initializes; NOTE that players with a firewall or
personal security software may need to configure these separately to fully
allow traffic on the chosen port
b.. starting with this version 1.084, the PB Client now requires the
game to be run as the administrator user or equivalent under Windows XP/2K
(see our FAQ for more info).
