Question for you Super Taz.

I got a key for the closed beta and I'm downloading the game now, I already have PBSetup on my PC but I'm not seeing the game listed, is it automatic, has it been included in the game yet or do I need to do something else?

PB does not protect beta games, only full games. You will not see the game on PB Setup until the game is fully released by the developers.

Thanks, that explains why I can't see it in the list.

I heard PunkBuster wasn't that great, people have been hacking Battlefield 3 for a while now...

Looks like Blacklight already has a PB download:

http://cc-ns.perfectworld.com/BL/pbsvc_blr.exe

Attached File  blpb.png   446.95K   2 downloads

And here are downloads to the game:

http://blacklight-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=219591

Quote

Blacklight Retribution v.931 Direct Download (1.9GB) for anyone having CORE Problems.

Obviously not for any active forum members, just for those maybe browsing the forum because they need help.



Click Here:http://www.wupload.com/file/26299829...Retribution.7z
Slow download, appears to be something you'd want to do overnight, about 3 hours. Limited to around 175kB/s

********Faster Download ~2 hours*********
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c078...Retribution.7z
This one goes slightly faster at 250kB/s




If anyone knows a good place that allows a 2GB upload and unlimited download speed let me know.

You could try dropbox, it allows 2GB upload but not sure about download speeds.

Edit:
PB has been updated but I did get an error message too, re-running it was fine and it says I'm running the latest version so I presume it's updated and ready to go.

This phase will run for two weeks and end on Thursday February 2nd at 5PM Pacific. The new patch will be available to download on the 19th when Blacklight goes back online.

To play in Phase 4 you will need to have Punkbuster. If you don't have it, or you aren't sure go to http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe to install.

All players will be given 5000 Test Zen in Phase 4 for use in the Blacklight Closed Beta.

Thanks for playing everyone, see you on the 19th.

Hello Blacklight fans. During the process of implementing and testing the latest server updates this week needed for Phase 4, Zombie Studios the developers of Blacklight Retribution, were hit by the snow and ice storms in the Pacific Northwest. This has slowed our progress on fixing some database issues that still remain. We're sorry for the delay, we are working hard to make sure everything runs smoothly in this upcoming phase. Thank you.

You read it right.

Closed Beta Phase 4 for Blacklight: Retribution will be kicking off at 2:00 PM Pacific TODAY (today meaning Thursday, 1/26, of course).

Apologies for the long delay, I know all of you are basically dying of BLR starvation at this point. The wait is nearly over!

Are any of you having PB problems with the new phase of the Beta? First day I was getting kicked for PB not updated and now I'm getting kick for files missing or corrupted, even though I've run PBSetup and tried both the pbsvc.exe at the Evenbalance site and the pbsvc_blr.exe file from the Perfect World site. I've had a problem ticket in with Evenbalance for about 36 hours now with no response.

I have no problems with punkbuster. I used the PB Setup tool and allowed PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB in my firewall. And I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

No problems here either, run PBSetup and did the same as SuperTaz, also Windows 7 x64.

I've been getting kicked for "Punkbuster missing or corrupted" even though I've run pbsetup, as well as pbsvr and pbsvr_blr about 20 times. Evenbalance wasn't much help so far. After about two days I got a response to my trouble ticket saying "try pbsetup again" even though I had 8 different updates that I posted to the ticket on what I had tried so far.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a25/AKA_BANDIT/BLR2012-01-2809-18-46-32.jpg

However I think I figured out the problem on my own, but not how to fix it. PnkBstrA does not appear to be starting PnkBstrB when the game is launched. I checked the task manager while I was in-game before I got kicked and PnkBstrB.exe WAS NOT running. PnkBstrA was running. Is there any way to manually start PnkBstrB?

I only seem to have this problem with Blacklight because I went to several SOF2 PB enabled servers to see if I would kicked for the same thing and I had zero problems with SOF2.

Make sure PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB are set to "Allow" in your firewall. If they are not in your firewall, then create an exception for them.
