PB problem - Losing key packets*

Postby Gangstar » Wed May 23, 2007 19:58

Since few days I have a problem with PB. I dont know what happend becouse everything was okay. When Im connected to the server I play few minutes and Im kicked by PB. Afte disconnect I se something like that : ".... kicked by PB reason : loosing key packets" so I tryied to update my PB but it didint help. But thats not all. When I try to reconnect Im kicked after few seconds of connecting and all I can see is this :
"Unpure client detected. Invalid .pk3 files refenced ! " - WTF is this :? ?
Its a dramma for me couse I cant play. I will be happy if somebody could help me. Pliss :(

Sorry for not replying your PM but im just got home :)

Well anyways here goes;

'Losing key packets' = an unstable connection, cause of that pb is losing data (packets)

Have you installed any new software or hardware lately?
- new anti-virus software?
- new firewall?
- new modem/router?
- changed the settings in one of those things?


About 'Invalid .pk3 files refenced', what map is running at that moment?
- remove the map from your etmain/ and let it autodownload from the server
- how much maps do you have in your etmain/ ? Try to remove some old maps you never play

And from our FAQ;

All commands starting with the letters /pb must be entered manually every time you startup ET
· /pb_lan 1
· /pb_sleep 500
· /pb_sv_pktsendmode 1
· Set the following command (only once) before joining a server: /pb_system 0



See what things you can rule out :)
And btw at which server does this happen? PS1? PS3? PS4? All pb enabled servers?

Heh no problem Warren I said in PM can U help me if U aint bussy :)
BTW
I didint do nothing with my PC. I didint install new programs, etc. so I have the old settings and everything should be ok but it isint :/ . It happens on PS 1 and PS 4 couse I play on those servers.
About the F.A.Q Im not sure about those comends. I should write them on PB or ET console ? And if I understod that good I must write those comends every time I lounch ET ? Im woried that I wont have so much time to write them becouse disconnect is getting faster every connect :)
Sorry about my english Im pised off so I dont watch my grammar. Hope U will understand everything :) !beer and again thanks for help :D

Do you run the game under a windows admin account btw?

Have you tried pbsetup already?

And you are sure you havent installed any new software lately?
No downloads active? P2P software? Torrent Software? Messenger clients?

np, but you dont have to be sorry :D I like to help :)

But perhaps it was an outdated pb version and pb couldnt update or something like that, dunno.
Or did you set /pb_system 0 ?
