#141 - Distress (This indicates a problem trying to update to the latest version of PunkBuster - it may indicate a problem reaching one of our Internet-based Master PB Servers which can be caused by firewalls, router problems, etc.) Technical Violations: (Resolution: Reinstall PunkBuster from the latest game update patch) When requesting assistance, be sure to specify the violation number raised and give as much additional information as possible. Any player who has problems resolving a violation should fill out a trouble ticket here for assistance. Steps to resolve violations are given below with each violation category. The other players will be alerted to the fact that PunkBuster is foregoing the kick due to the violation being raised on the localhost player. If PunkBuster raises a violation on such a localhost player, the violation will be reported, but the localhost player will not be removed from the game. That means that one of the players is running the game server while also playing inside the game (known as a localhost player). Note that some servers are non-dedicated. It is up to each Server Admin whether or not to permanently ban players for violations raised by PunkBuster. In most cases, the player associated with the violation will also be removed from the server for a few minutes. When a violation is raised, PunkBuster announces this violation to all connected players in the game and then saves information about the violation into a PunkBuster log file on the server. The various categories of violations are explained below. A violation can be raised by PunkBuster for various types of things depending on how each Server Administrator chooses to configure PunkBuster on the game server. PunkBuster software running on game servers and also on the computers of connected players during gameplay is continuously validating each player with respect to avoiding violations.
