Nice, eh?
Shame that the closed beta testers can't get in.

Not really its buggy as hell for loads of people .... PB kicks galore (just check forums)

Oh and it was due up Tuesday evening (but I reckon that was US central time) .. counter shows ticking down ...

I played closed beta a heck of a lot and now im 29000th in queue. Sigh.

Jamrasta · 25 Feb 2009 at 01:06

I've got a closed beta account, do i need to create a new account for this ? Not played it for a while

Gouey · 25 Feb 2009 at 01:19

Depends how old, if you've not logged in the closed beta account for 28 days it would have been deleted. If you have, then it's still active

DirtyJester · 25 Feb 2009 at 08:08

...still getting random PB kicks ....

Have you tried this method DirtyJester?

INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: IE running in protected mode causes a virtualization of the file system and a failure to correctly extract PnkBstrB.exe. Adding quakelive to the trusted site is a temporary fix/work-around for this. Player's need to also make sure that their "trusted site" zone does not have "protected mode" enabled.

In Internet Explorer,
Go to Tools->Internet Options
Click the Security Tab
Select 'Trusted Sites'
Ensure that the 'Enable Protected Mode' checkbox is not checked.
Click 'Sites'
Uncheck the 'Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone' checkbox
In the 'Add this website to the zone:' text box, type: http://www.quakelive.com
Click Add, Click Close
FIREFOX USERS: For FF heartbeat kicks, a firewall of some sort (either Windows or third-party) is blocking PnkBstrB packets from getting back to the client. This can be fixed by excepting PnkBstrA/B.exe in the firewall configuration. In some cases, excepting PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrA.exe does not fix the problem, but shutting off the firewall does. Please verify that your Windows or third-party firewalls are properly configured or disabled.

Fixed my problems with PB kicking on windows 7

Cheers m8 ... went through all the quick fixs over the past couple of weeks and none seem to help ... its up to PunkBuster to release a full update for game I reckon.

davethe11 · 25 Feb 2009 at 18:13
