I have been trying to connect to and play on the et scrim server, and after having gotten all the missing maps
files etc that the server wouldn’t allow to be downloaded from it. I’ve been having issues with remaining connected
to the server due to problems with punkbuster, through the help of i0nwr1t3r on TS for going over all the possible
variables of the problem:
– Updated PB by way of the pbsetup program, and through et console
– Updated My ET client to 2.60b (2006)
– Downloaded ETpro (installed and such)
May have left some things out, I’ll add if I remember.
When I connect, I will last for about 10-15 seconds, then it will d/c.
Message that PB brings up as to conclude why I have been disconnected is:
Before posting a helpful suggestion about installing x.exe, please notice that I am using a mac version of ET as stated in title.
Also, I’ll get together all the links for the maps, to make it slightly easier.
Hello,
I think that the 20006 integrity kick is for a harddrive issue. None of the integrity kicks are considered cheats, they are just failures of some of PB’s self-checks. I would recommend running scandisk and doing a full surface scan.

Yeah seen that and peoples ways of fixing it involved de-fragging, which isn’t something that is common on macs, if at all (due to journalising of the HD).
Integrity issues only occur if PB detect the game environment has been altered in some way. It could end up coming down to a corrupt .pk3 or punkbuster file. Have you tried completely uninstalling PB then reinstalling, not just reinstalling over the top?
Perhaps a fresh install of both may be required in your case, make sure you have the 2.60d for ET for MAC install and then update Punkbuster via the utility and finally connect to scrim server.
REMEMBER: TO back up your etkey file in your etmain folder as this is where your xpsave is remembered from :).

GAME INTEGRITY #20006 is a kick for failure of ‘PBSVC’ to update itself…. Usually it will update itself but it takes a minute or two
after connecting to a PB-enabled server for it to auto-update…. Before that has time to happen you are kicked 🙁 Ironic really…
I think the way I fixed it last time was to update 3 PB files manually, then when connecting to PB-enabled server after that it updated itself.

Mainly you need this file saved to your PB folder:
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/et/pbsec.htm
Also you might want to save these files to your ‘PBhtm’ folder:
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/et/mc002213.htm
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/et/ma001382.htm
Then hopefully next time you launch ET and connect to PB-enabled server it should update the PBSVC without kicking you :banana:

Thanks for the files which I couldn’t fing :P. I’ll have to wait until the server is booked again to find out whether or not
these fixes work, interestingly enough the main version (of the entire package is vanilla wolf et) so im downloading 2.60d
full now and will see if that has any thing to do with it. Though I’m not particularly sure it will, for, if you have used a Mac
before, you will be aware of the fact that almost everything which the application requires to run is contained as one (package
type file); so for patches of ET, all it takes is to replace the old launcher/app with the new one and its done; replace the dock
link as-well otherwise there will be errors.
All of a sudden I’m getting massive ping lag and high pings in general in the normal server,
this is the first time I’ve played Wolf ET since all the updates and such, from your above suggestions
any ideas? I’m doing a re-install of it using the 2.60d ET files, so could someone give me a list of what maps
are used in the server? Just so I can keep them and hope one of the others is corrupt.
Also, while connected to TS my ping was fine, and speed tests came up normal.
Also, first time I tried to reconnect after having these problems I got this error:after massive ping spikes.jpg[/attachment:2u2di0tz]
Hey mate, try settings in console before you connect.
/rate 25000 /cl_maxpackets 60
That should fix the ping issue. With the .pk3 issue, try closing ET and reconnecting, if it persists, delete your etpub folder and reconnect to the server.
Kind Regards, BR
