hi everyone ...everytime i wanna play on battlefield 2 i get a message that says...You have been permanetly banned from this Game Server via punkbuster...GLOBAL punkbuster HARDWARE BAN 629a9201"....can anyone tell me what the problem is i hope u can help thenx....
There was a quote going around some gaming forums a cpl of years ago explaining the hardware bans. Not good really, it meant something along the lines of if you mess with the PB system as well as hacking in games then they take a hash of your hardware parts, not sure what, could be mac address on NIC or other stuff and then ban it all!! It meant you were banned from ALL PB games present and future, but by hardware, not just CD key. Your either very unfortunate and been banned by a mistake, or you messed with PB. EDIT This was the quote Quote: When players raise a violation that corresponds to hacking or interfering with PunkBuster's normal operation, we now (in addition to Global PB GUID bans) are Globally banning the new Hardware GUIDs across all games supported by PunkBuster (including games supported in the future). So punks who are determined to cheat so badly on PB-enabled servers that they try to hack PunkBuster may now need a new computer in addition to a new cdkey in order to return to PunkBuster servers.
ohh ok i understand but that is wear cuz is not the first time i play with a copy game...but anyway it was for a friend of my to bad for him now he need to buy a original game...thenx u all for ur help...
Maybe PB banned cuz you had some kind of cheat on the game. Try to install another one and play again... maybe you are lucky and its only a cheat... You dont wanna mess with PB... Normally he wins!!!
