PB FIX! ( i found it so leave me be)

PunkBuster Tweak

This can really help a lot, especially on a PB server.

First, join a server and type pb_system in your control (ctrl alt ~). The default is typically 1.

If you have mouse lag or fluctuating FPS, try this:

In the game console, type:

/disconnect
/pb_system 0
/pb_writecfg

Then type /reconnect, if you disconnected from a server.

Some games use a / and others you just type the command without a / in front.

After you join a server, type in the console type pb_system to verify it changed to 0.

pb_system 0/1 does not turn PB on or off, it only changes the way PB uses memory and such.

Another command to tweak is pb_sleep -- some find pb_sleep 20 is best others say the max is best pb_sleep 500 -- it varies from system to system.

Snaps and sv_fps

In your autoexec.cfg put in: set snaps 40

Or in game, via the console, type: /snaps 40

Recommended entries for your autoexec.cfg:

// Network - http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake3/connection.html

seta cl_maxpackets "125" // max packets 125 for optimal bandwidth use.

seta cl_packetdup "0" // If high PL - make 1.

seta snaps "40" // Leave this at 40, servers will adjust.

seta rate 25000 // DSL or Cable - leave this at 25,000 servers will adjust.

seta cl_timenudge 0 // Leave at 0 for less lag and less trouble.

Many servers, especially Quake 3, run sv_fps 30, your /snaps must be 30 or higher to match. If you set a snaps high, it will drop down to the server's sv_fps but if you set it too low, it will not raise to the server's sv_fps #.

Be sure to make sure your client has /snaps 40 that way your server will always match a server's sv_fps from 20 to 30.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Thanks Buns, I will try this out and see what works best!

Nice, I like the info on pb. Thanks

burn punkbuster!!!!! I still have issues once in a while

Imho, pb needs to get off their collective asses and fix the problems. It's not just ET that's having probs. Tbh, it seems they're just collecting money off the devs and not doing much for their paychecks anymore.

they wont fix the issue with the last pb update. Every pb server has it and their support is useless.

I'll try this out when I get my rig up and running.

After waiting almost a month, my paycheck finally came so I can order ma ram
