...and i started to google for the problem.

I ´ ve found s.th. like that here:
Linux Tips
Ubuntu help thread 1
Ubuntu help thread 2
and other threads.

Seems to be a punkbuster proble. But how to fix it ?

Quake4 and EnemyTerritory:QuakeWars are running great.

Any help out there ? Thank you...

i see no pb_ MSG just a game console shutting down, what happens when joining a pb-disabled server?

hmm, same problem... game starts and brings me backtodesktop ... think it´s on all servers where pb is installed (turned on/off doesnt matter) ... maybe since PnkBstr A/B were released ? Last year q3 went without any cautions. Any suggestions ?

/edit: I think, normally i wont think about pb, caus there´s really no error-msg . But my googled-informations tells me that pb is the problem. Hope you can help.

Is the evenbalanceteam programming a linux-version ob pbweb maybe ? or s.th. to test out if "our" punkbuster is full-compatible to the new method evenbalance choosed with PnkBstr A/B ?

That makes no sense, joining a pb-disabled server with pb_client disabled and CTD sounds like a gfx-driver issue, or, taken from the old days, one baseq3/*.pk3 (buggy custom maps ftw) that screws it all up. Create a subdir in baseq3, move all non default pk3's there and the problem is gone i bet, to find the culprit move them back 1 by 1. To locate a pk3 that conains a gfx/2d/blender_180.tga might help, you can open .pk3s with any (un)ZiP application.

pbsvc aren't used/required under linux, pbweb is discontinued, the follow-up pbsetup is avi for tux http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

http://www.pbbans.com/information.php?page=pbsetup

up to now it seems to work with just the original pk3´s ,.... thnx for help and i hope i wont have to reply or edit this thread again

keine Ursache, viel Erfolg
