Rant Punkbuster

[Access Denied]

This is the worst piece of trash program ever fucking written! I play Americas Army and Punkbuster is the anti-cheat program for it. Now, whenever I disconnect from a server I get booted from the next one with "Corrupted Packet Flow" I've been on the boards and been linked to a page that has no use whatsoever. Tells me that Zone Alarm is the problem, bollocks, I've tried it without ZA running. Sent a support request to Even Balance for PB itself and the reply I got was "Just have to reinstall PB"

However, I'm getting a little fucking tired of having to exit the game, delete the PB folder, reinstall PB and then restart my fucking computer every fucking time I disconnect from a fucking server. Can you tell I'm pissed off yet?

So I've just sent anotehr support rquest to Even Balance telling them, politely, but in no uncertain terms to gwet their fucking fingers out and sort it out and if they tell me to simply reinstall PB I'll be going to whichever dept in the US MoD that deals with the game and telling them to use a different fucking program.

You don't need to keep deleting it, go into services via control panel and disable PBuster A and PBuster B, right click on them and goto properties then click "Stop" and make sure the boxes all say "Disable" then apply.

You can also block it via your firewall. Unsure if you need it to play Americans Army or not, some games you can play without it.. others you have to grin and bare it... like Battlefield 2 quite a few games i've played that "100%" Require it and i've turned it off and its been fine.

Has it got worse then ?

Was awful on Q3, half the good servers became inaccessable because of it.

Lol got a response. "If you're running Windows Live OneCare disable it while running Americas Army"

Useless fuckers. Told them in my support request that I don't use it.
