Phi Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Punkbuster is causing an extremely annoying stutter in ET at the moment. After a consistent interval the game will freeze for a fraction of a second. This interval seems to be decided by pb_sleep. Setting pb_sleep to 500 increases the interval and reduces the number of stutters in any given period of time but it does not remove it. Does anybody have any ideas on how to stop the stutter completely? I have tried pb_security and system but there is no effect. I don't know how to update pb anymore now that it is no longer supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators daredevil Posted January 23, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2013 We don't use PB on any of our servers.. u can just remove PB completely from your system. For silent mod servers we use different anti cheat anyways. PB dropped support for ET year back anyways... so no need to keep PB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckun Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) So you can keep your GUID / XPSave, use the following settings: /pb_cl_enable /pb_system 0 /pb_security 0 This keeps PB itsself enabled, but pb_system 0 turns the in-game checks OFF, and pb_security 0 stops PB deleting your etkey if/when it fails to authenticate.

Phi Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I just tried this now and it does not work. The game still freezes at intervals decided by pb_sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyphz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 maybe you have threaded optimization on ? turn it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Got it. Threaded optimisation being turned off in the nvidia panel has fixed the issue. Thanks for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
