PB causing random server crashesUCON problem

Hello,

I am currently running a Crysis server on a Dedicated server provided by wolfservers.com and both their support and I haven't been able to resolve this issue.

The server has been running fine for over a month without PunkBuster protection enabled, yesterday I enabled PunkBuster and problems began to arrise almost immediately. Currently the main problem is the server will randomly crash and restart at the begining of some maps, this usually happens after playing any 2 maps in a row.

The error being received is as follows:

phys] way out of sync (0.53 seconds)... performing emergency reset

The pbsv.cfg file has been modified using the official config file supplied in the recent Crysis Dedicated server documentation 1.2

Any Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

UCON has now been disabled and then helped somewhat, but the server is still crashing after about 4 hours of play.

Heres the new "error" message

Mesa is the first map in the rotation, so thats the server restarting.

Sucks huh? All PB enabled Crysis servers crash. It's something that Crytek is aware of and they said they would fix it in the first or second patch.

Should get the server configured to stream to PBBans.....and get an Account setup

Want to guess who sent him here RodeoBob?
