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 0...

    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= interact

    Save the bat file and run it as an administrator. (on every reboot)

    Presto, no more error loading PBCL kicks!

It works fine in Windows 7. It's strange because the tests do pass in windows 8. Looks like we'll have to wait for an update from evenbalance.
