Punkbuster - Error Loading PBCL
Hi all,
I'm running Windows 8, I only get this error on a few servers.
This is the punkbuster log file:
[09.28.2012 07:24:49] PunkBuster Reports PB Server Running Old Version C2.292
[09.28.2012 07:24:49] This PB Server Requires (A1386 C2.292) - Error loading pbcl
Steps I've taken:
Uninstalled punkbuster, did a registry clean. Re-installed punkbster via pbsvc.exe. Manually updated via PBsetup.exe
Added an exception to my firewall & to windows defender. (even turned them off at one stage, still same problem) I'm at my wits end, I'm not sure what else I can try? Must I open a ticket at Punkbuster?
Some servers I can play just fine. This is really annoying as our clan server kicks me due to this punkbuster error.
Please can you help me solve this problem?
Thanks.
Got it working!
Open PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe’s properties and enable Windows 7 Compatibility Mode, as well as “Run as administrator”. Save.
Do this for both files in both directory's. (C:\windows\system32 & c:\windows\syswow64)Next create an empty bat file and paste in this code:
sc config PnkBstrA type= own type= interact
sc config PnkBstrB type= own type= interactSave the bat file and run it as an administrator. (on every reboot)
Presto, no more error loading PBCL kicks!
