Hi guys,

Think Ive got a fix for the ETQW - after you install the patch (either via ETQW or from FP) and rebooted, install this program:

http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloads/windows/pbsetup.exe

Details of how to use it are here:
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Basically just add ETQW as one of your games and tell it to check for updates. You will notice it updates the PB client files for ETQW even though the patch supposedly updates them aswell.

Once you have done that it should be smooth sailing - remember to enable PunkBuster in the server browser...

Ive had no kicks after 10mins or any real slowdown - if this doesnt work for you please include your setup details, your OS and a screenshot of the issue and Ill see if I can help...

Well thxs for telling us :S;)

I dont know if youve seen ALL of the ETQW threads complaining about this - might have been useful if you knew the fix to post perhaps :p

Sadly it isnt - at least half of the connections now get kicked unfortunately - considering the patch was meant to update pb - most would assume that they dont need to re-update it again...

Also still no official response how to fix it if it was that simple - but I think we are used to that from devs...

I dno if Ill get the game - I think you really need a good team to make it work...

How did you know? - damn witch!!!

Only a teeny bit ;):p

Though Im jaded with the latest patch and how people are playing - I guess the fast pace really helps regular players while for new players they just hate it from the world go since its not just a fragfest...

Try disabling/switching off your anti-virus - heard rumours it helps with such lag...

or

delete the PB folder from this tree:

C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Enemy Territory Quake Wars Public Beta

and use the pbsetup to update PB again...

or

If on Vista run it with Windows SP2 compatibility mode...

EDIT: Actually try the PB folder removal first - should work...
