|
 |
OK, so I have the game bought and paid for. For a while, connecting was fine. I'd click on a server, it went straight to the awaiting connection box, wait about 2 or 3 seconds and then bang, I'm in. But now, almost every time I click to join a server it goes to the awaiting connection box momentarily, then it goes blank, then a script box appears similar to the one in Q3, then it goes to the loading game/initialising menu screen, then the awaiting connection screen again, and THEN it connects. Sometimes it goes back and forth even more before connecting. So I don't have a problem connecting, I just don't understand why it's now going through all this rigmarole when it didn't before. I even did a fresh install having saved my configs and files but still does it even with default config.
Any ideas? Lol, it never did this with the clonecd file.

I have come to the conclusion that the script box is a result of punkbuster trying to update itself. This doesn't happen all the time to me. If I join a different server, depending on their settings, I get kicked back out to the script box for updating. Maybe your older files before your install was actually updated so therefore no script box.

Ya I dont think theres a EXE for PB. Its just a bunch of htm and dll files. I didnt install PB when installing quake but later on just copied the pb directory from the DVD to my HD as an install.
One thing to note is when I play on a non-pb server, I get these msgs from PB client time to time. So maybe PB stil does something even when you're playing on non-pb. I guess you can also join the planetquake forum, they have some good info there as well.

There is no pbweb.exe in my pb folder that I can manually update. I guess that's because it's all automatic now. I think I may join the punkbuster forum just to see if they know what it is and if it's pb related as you're saying. Worth a shot because this is driving me nuts.
