Mine seems to display a different port for pbbhub1 this might be the issue. Although looking at your pbsv.cfg you uploaded and the fact you're running the one from the MCi the same as I am it may not be.

I know Maydax was saying some things seem to be interfering with the Streaming due to GSP settings.

It's possible its not on this port this is the default but some GSP's will change it.

As far as I know from my GSP it's your server join port +29321 but its best to check with your GSP to find out exactly what port it is.

Use the Automated Hub Tool (this is the easiest method).

Or if you have access to edit your pbsv.cfg from your GSP

1. Go here http://www.pbbans.com/mci-overview-bf2-13.html
2. Click download both
3. Unzip
4. Open pbsv.cfg in Notepad
5. Open pbsv.cfg on your GSP control panel text editor.
6. Back this up incase anything goes wrong.
7. Select and copy all from pbsv.cfg in Notepad
8. Select all of the pbsv.cfg in the text editor and delete it.
9. Paste the copied text from the pbsv.cfg you downloaded into the GSP text editor.
10. Save the file
11. Restart the pb or the gameserver.

Thanks! I managed to find multiplay rcon port, i used the web tool and in the end it said smth like "no errors during set up and it appears the server is streaming" so i guess thats done ? is there any way of checking it ? I'll apply for streaming admin asap, where can i find my GUID ? sorry for the noobness :lol:

If thats what it says you should be good to go. And I don't think there is an easy way to retrieve your GUID in Bad Company 2 as there is no console in game. Only way I can find guids is from PB logs on my server.

So i'll have to look for my own GUID in my server logs ? :mellow:

Checked your account and you submitted the server IP with wrong port: 69.12.91.18:48888 --> standard is 19567
48888 is the RCON port

Remove the server from your account and add back with good port!!

There seems to be issues with some GSP's and streaming so it may be that, only other thing I can suggest is to post a copy of your pbsv.cfg if you have access to it so we can have a look and see if anything looks out of the ordinary.

i have the server hosted with myinternetservices and do not appear to have access to the requested .cfg file. i do know other clans that also have thier servers with the same provider and they claim their server is streaming

Try using the webtool as this uses RCON to set it up.

Make sure PB is running as I know some GSP's had issues with it defaulting to being switched off and try some of the trouble shooting steps if you have RCON access.

bf2cc does not have rcon access support that i can find, and the file to dl from the op only has a single file not the 2 that is stated. seems to be a corrupted file.

Do you mean BC2CC? If so yes I know this is the case however there are tools that have "Punkbuster" tab.

Enter the RCON commands in the troubleshooting steps using this tool.
