pb_sv_guidrelax 7 This setting was added to server version 1.011 to set options for the locked-down guid system. This setting is cumulative based on adding the values for the conditions desired: 1=UNKN Guid, 2=WRONGIP Guid, 4=DUPLICATE Guids. The current default for this setting is 7 (1+2+4) which means that PB will not kick (relax kicking) for any of the three cases. We recommend kicking for at least UNKN guids. Below are the possible combinations:

0 = Kick for UNKN guid, wrong ip guid and duplicate guid.
1= Kick for wrong ip guid and duplicate guid.
2= Kick for UNKN guid, and duplicate guid.
3= Kick for duplicate guid.
4= Kick for UNKN guid and wrong ip guid.
5= Kick for wrong ip guid.
6= Kick for UNKN guid
7= Don't kick for UNKN guid, wrong ip guid and duplicate guid.


These values are bitmapped and work like the games FLAGS system, but since they are used to "relax" or disable instead of enable, they are reversed in the sense that you don't add up the numbers but rather subtract them.

cvar sv_strictAuth (defaults 1)

server side variable to control wether strict CDKEY auth should be performed with the auth server
this is required if you want reliable cl_guid for the server (for users tracking) but it doesn't affect anti-cheating software so cheaters won't join your server...

Ummm, so "cvar sv_strictAuth 0" means folks with invalid keys can play on a Punkbuster server? Not quite sure I understand.

Yeah, but It's better to change that options to :

pb_sv_guidrelax 7
cvar sv_strictAuth 0

and by doing this you're sure that the person with invalid cd key will be able to join the server, and hopefuly we will have more players on the server :)

I've an error : PB Guid Auth : unknown . What I#ve done wrong .

[dolny]

When joining a server? I think it means that you have an illegal cdkey.

I have legal key i bought quake 3 arena . But everytime i join a server there is this bug pb guid Auth: unkn

[dolny]

Yeah, I had the same error sometimes but now it's gone... ask the server admins to change the options like in the post about cdkey (above).

Now the error is goner but i have a new one : hunk-alloc failed on 1626928. Please Help

do you start up wq3 through the mod menu?? if you do so, stop doing that and use a direct link, with +set fs_game westernq3 in the command line... else the memory settings won't be correct

[[GSF] Django]

The error is back i hate it . I tried the hole day to find the reason why everytime i join a server I'm kicked by punkbuster with pb guid auth: unkn.

[dolny]

Try to manually update your punkbuster. Your client should be 1.0.26 , and the server 1.0.29.

Go to http://www.punkbuster.com and download the new files manually.

Django : You are definetly kicked off my server :-) .... does it also happen with other servers ? For mine I can say, others can play, but I do have a bunch of players getting kicked with PB GUID AUTH: UNKN (other than that only for empty CD keys). Maybe it is a version issue ? I installed the latest version yesterday. I *may* turn PB off again, I'm new to PB, but I like the idea of not having cheaters.

There is only one issue : I run my server behind a firewall and there *may* be issues with that, either when you are hopping servers, or when you are not hopping servers :-) ...

(and yes, I also use Django ... oh well ...)

[sig11]

I just checked my server. I changed this pb_guidrelax to 7 (it was on 0 - I didn't touch it ever, though). So it should work better now. Anybody having trouble, mail me - my e-mail address is in the server info !
Oh, and the server is the one that says "Somewhere in the west ..."

Thanks for the info. I will try these new settings for Punkbuster.
