Punkbuster with Mac


supremesoul

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I formatted my iMac yesterday but forgot to save my Cod2 folder and PB folder.

So I re-installed it and tried to download PB on evenbalance.. which is not possible because they dropped the support on cod2.. Tried some PB folders of my friends which are windows users.. But i kept getting the error: No Packet Flow!!!

 

Anywayy...

 

Finally I came across this website and downloaded the PB folder for Cod2 (MAC).

When I started playing again it seemed like the issue was solved but then all of a sudden I got a weird message while ingame... Pb_Client: PB Client In Distress - Cannot Authenticate with PB Server (A1383). And I started to get FPS laggs. I got this message a few times and then I got kicked and it says: This PB Server Requires (A1383 C2.208) - Error loading pbag)

 

My question is!!!

 

Is their still a active Cod2 (MAC) gamer with a PB folder that I can use??

If not any advice for what I can do??

I cant live without this game :(((((

 

 

PLZZ HELP ME :(

 

Thank you in advance,

Supreme

... not. *facepalm* yet another *whine* and run away topic. No? Upload your mac-games/pb/*.* ând post them here. (Nobody has a mac here. We are not Punkbuster. Punkbuster ended support years ago and will kindly f* you off now.)

 

General remarks:

  • /pb_security 0 (enables pb-update downloads from game-servers)

     

  • All you need for a manual pb-update is: The current pbsetup GUi-binary (for any OS) plus an old pbgame.htm that contains the desired discontinued game.

     

  • An alternative for old games, and often the simplest one, is to run the old pb console-application ( under windows: "pbweb.exe" ) from the Game's /pb -subfolder (and searching for pbcl.dll/pbsv.so/pbsv.mac aint no rocket-science). Downside: pbweb will quit with '**ERROR: No PunkBuster files found' if no or no valid pb-files are present in /pb.

Anybody got this working? I still can't update the PB manually... The pbsetup wont let me select any games or even let me select them manually by browsing. Is there any mac user that has some updated pb files for me that i cant paste in the CoD2 directory?
