PBBans

i have played of sof 2 since day 1 and NEVER cheated. yet today i get a globalban for no reason. how may others are in this same situation , i think PB should look into how they work this out, it could ruin certain gameing communities. I feel cheated by PB , how ironic. Can some one please help me ,i have my guid key but i dont know where to check it
thank's for any help

Did you get Global GUID Ban or Global HARDWARE Ban?

Connect to any enabled pb server and after you're kicked , write down the number. Then open a Trouble Ticket and write there this number.

guid ban m8

Oh you need a new copy of the game. AFAIK none of Global GUID bans was ever unbanned. Watch your cdkey. Don't give it to anyone.

gutted far as i know no one has it

Thats the price you have to pay because of unhonest players.

btw Global GUID Bans doesn't mean you've cheated. It says that someone used your cdkey to cheat.

lmao @ no one has it

heres a little info on guid:28408be85331757154519b97f53b116d

Alias(s) (1438) IP Address(s) (1525)
GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN

and thats just off our own database
as you can see, a lot more than just you have that cd key, hence the global guid ban.

solution: buy your own copy of the game and treat it like your social security number

Don Logan do you get kicked for unknown guid on some servers?

if so is

try open the sof2key file with wordpad and re wright the key that you have in side your box
and start the game

I DID buy my own copy honestly, so i cant work out how that many people have it , could some one get my key from me when i am playing on line ?
why have i just been banned if that many people have it , i was playing this morning no probs.
surley they didnt all get it today ?
this global ban thing has been running for months why do i get banned now when i play every night ... sumthing dosent add up.
my copy was bought from the shop when the game came out, all other honest people should look out i cant be the only one who this has happened to

me again, no probs with being banned now , but after 20 - 30 secs the game freezes.
when joing i pull the console down and the last thing on there is :
PB server assigned guid 215405160e042909ecc5d47b6d693795
recieving from PB server (v1.80|a1363 c1.217)
