Hi Taz,

 

I restart PB by issuing the "pb_sv_restart" command in procon and that didn't fixed it.

I'm now having this issue with our servers. The host has said that this is just one of those bugs which can crop up. How worried should I be if our servers are never able to contact evenbalance when we issue the pb_sv_update command?

 

The response is always:

PunkBuster Server: No Master Query Sent - DNS has not yet resolved for BF31.EVENBALANCE.COM

 

Our host's explanation / fix action:

This is an age-old problem with PB. Sometimes it eventually gets the update, and sometimes we have to force it with a server repair operation -- we keep the PB files in our base folder up-to-date with "PBSetup", which usually does a better job.

 

I will also open a support ticket with EB to see if they have any additional suggestions but wanted to try here as well since others are having the exact same thing.

Sorry for double post:

 

I wanted to see if there was any way to globally poll / report the punkbuster version which is in use by the majority of game servers worldwide ? If my limited test pans out from the MSI, it looks like our host is one of the few who is using outdated punkbuster software.

Still no response back from EvenBalance. I don't they care about the issue or how to resolve it. Bummer.

 

My host also still has the issue:

 

pb_sv_update

PunkBuster Server: No Master Query Sent - DNS has not yet resolved for MASTER6.EVENBALANCE.COM

Well, your servers are updated to the latest versions of PB. I don't know why your servers are not communicating with EB's master servers. Maybe it is a firewall issue on the server?

 

It might clear the error if you restart your servers. Plus, it would help keep lag at a minimum too.

The only reason they're updated is because we manually opened a ticket with our host, NFO, to repair / replace all files on each install. If no ticket was opened the servers would still be running the outdated version. When I went thought the MSI nearly all servers running outdated versions of PunkBuster were from the same host, the one I'm using, which makes me believe something is up with our host.

 

The servers were just restarted this AM. =( I'll post again to the Even Balance ticket, maybe they'll feel generous and respond.

UPDATE / FIXED:

 

It was due to our host not allowing the new EvenBalance IPs through their firewall -- YOU WERE RIGHT TAZ!!! So this was a GSP wide issue that has been resolved!

 

It's too bad this wasn't identified sooner by the host. Who knows how many globally banned players connected and played on our servers when they infact shouldn't have been able to.
