Do you use any download resumables ex... "Getright"
I unistalled it and now it's fine...

The new Punkbuster seems to conflict with these programs...Probably because they are tryin to use same memory block or somethin,. Try unistalling those ones that sit in your taskbar like "Getright"
Hope it helps...

Ok, here is what i sent the support people:

When I use ET 2.60 with the latest version of PB, I start playing on a PB enabled server, I will get varying ammounts of game time before having ET completely crash, with an error report warning coming up - using WinXP. I checked it out and get this info:

AppName: et.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: pbcl.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00016bce

So I tried a number of things: reinstalled ET, reinstalled/updated PB. I then formatted my PC (for other reasons), reinstalled ET and STILL have the same problem.

This is only for PB enabled servers. I noticed just before the crash a dialogue message in the chat window saying something about PB detected the server is running an older version, or something, but what fails to make sense is that how can everyone else be playing fine except me? It turns out I have found several others with the same problem. One suggested it was related to the download manager GetRight due to it using the same memory block, although another person confirmed this occurs without using GetRight.

I can play fine on non PB servers, and due to the error report everything leads to PB.

bet they say update pb - should have post the update log about "conversion failed"

[AvvY]

ohheck,

Yeah, but I tried it another time and it worked. So I count that as a one off.

Note #2: This issue is from a program that conflicts with PB. There are a few known program that cause this:

Get Right
DU Super Controler
Macro Toolsworks
Girder 3.2
PRTG Traffic Grapher
T-Online DSL Software: ctfmon.exe
CyberCorder: cybrcrdr.exe


Closing those programs, or any like them that contain user or kernel level debuggers should stop the problem.

Have fun !

[AvvY]

Ah, so GetRight was a culprit! I don't think it occured with 5.2b, but I think it started happening when I installed 6... Can't be 100% sure though. Oh well, thanx for comfirmation.

I use 5.2 and it crashed too !

[AvvY]

Ok, I must have been wrong then. Oh well, thanx for the tip - I will test it out later on.

interestingly, i haven't played SOF2 for quite a few months, and decided to fire it back up yesterday, and it crashes back to windows with a critical error, referring to pbcl.dll. Did all the updates etc... Turns out that it's conflicting with DU supercontroller.

I used to play SOF2 all the time. Also had the issue you had. Here's something to try. When you start up the game go into the default server browser(meaning the one that comes with the game). Enter the console by typing '~'. Now type 'pb_sv_enable'. Then 'pb_sv_update'. Join a game and you should be good to go.
