reserved slots changed lately?

Maus · 03-18-2007, 09:28 PM

I seem to be getting punkbustered out at the moment after a few minutes in a game. Has the way TG handles reserved slots changed in the couple of months I've been away? The ID stored in my profile matches the one on the EA stats site.

No we have not changed the reserved slots handlig. What is your ingame soldiername?

**pedestrian01** · 03-18-2007, 10:53 PM

according to your sig your ingame name is silverfish the ea stats page shows your player id as 81709031 and the one in your profile is 81686051 which is for silverfish_

**PanzerHans** · 03-18-2007, 11:44 PM

I have registered you ingame with 81686051 (silverfish_) at 18th of march. so I assume that is the one you are using. Check to see that you use 81686051 in your profile.

Huh, that's weird. It always seemed to work before . . . or maybe I was just incredibly lucky! Thanks for your detective work, chaps!

Okay, got a chance to try again tonight, and I'm still getting punkbustered out after a couple of minutes with no message (other than a window saying punkbuster). I manually updated PB to see if that'd make a difference but it ain't working. Any clues or tips? Any faffy workarounds needed for Vista users?

Link won't let me download NS either - I guess it's just not meant to be.

81709031 = SilverFish
81686051 = Silverfish_
81686051 = TG forum BF2142 PID

So if you are logging onto the servers with Silverfish_ then that should work.

Maus · 03-24-2007, 08:44 PM

Thanks, but I've moved onto a different question

I did a further manual update of pb, and now in-game I get told something along the lines of "PB important: inadequate o/s privileges" or somesuch. Huh?

edit: yes, I'm an administrator on this box. Again, it's running vista.

edit 2: okay, fixed it. why did they hide a "run as administrator" button? Why is it not enough simply to _be_ one? pfeh.

Actually, as a web developer I can confidently say IE7 is the root of all evil, followed by vista.

I'll stick with XP until a game I just have to get is DX10/Vista only (dirty MS). Granted I would first have to buy a DX10 video card before that part would make me change OS.
