This does not mean we will be removing Punkbuster - it is still a viable admin tool which provides us with many methods of protecting our servers. It does mean that if you reinstall then the standard PBSetup will be unable to download and setup the files for you. I have therefore added a legacy section to our downloads that will help you setup Punkbuster.

Come to find out(info for testing) All those probs actually were not PB's fault. My R.A.T.7 failed on me and it wouldn't do anything except up and down. I finally replaced it with a temporary $20 mouse and what do you know all those things that wouldn't work before all of a sudden works great! I went in and tried re-installing pb and within minutes had it all setup and running! Needless to say I am happy as a cucumber in vinegaret dressing!

I've followed all the instructions with pb legacy to get it to work and I'm running 1.7 but I still get kicked out on "init" problems with pb. I found the "legacy pb" to be a pos since it instantly updates itself to v3.8 which doesn't work. I tried stopping it from updating and continuing with the instructions but it still just isn't happy.

The first file is the most important and contains the readme for setting up Punkbuster, the subsequent files are the PB files for the game platforms.
