Alright people i would just like to know how many of you could successfully log into Iconz's Server and stay there for more than 5 minutes without getting kicked out by punkbuster with error message of "Server Authentication Failed(2)"?

If you do check your under your crysis directory there's a game log does it say the line [net 05:50:20.218] Disconnect ip-210-48-63-139.asiaonline.net.nz:64087; profid=0; cause=16; msg='Remote disconnected: PunkBuster kicked player "Player" (for 0 minutes) ... [File Whitelist "ZPatch1.pak"] ? or something like it?

I know it's not my problem cause I could log on to other punkbuster protected servers like GameArena without getting kicked. Only happens with Iconz's Server. And I did some research appearantly punkbuster has a bug, and have to be configured for the new version by the admin. Or it thinks the user has added/modified the file ZPatch1.pak, which is what makes your game 1.1! That's why the log has the line [File Whitelist "ZPatch1.pak"] .

I'm only saying this cause I like anyother internet gamer wish to have a low ping. And I'm sick of having to play at Australia's servers, since ICONZ's server provides nearly half of the ping. I always play over Australia's server not because I no one plays in NZ's server it's because NZ's server won't let me stay there! I'll wait for an hour for another player if I have to.

So come guys anyother NZ crysis players wants to play at domestic server please prove if I'm right so we could get the ICONZ's stuff's attention ( I've posted replies and PMs to the admin but sadly he havn't answer after nearly 2 weeks:sly: ). Or prove me wrong so that I can stop wasting ICONZ's time and look into my own problems. THANK YOU!

Please can you try this again I have manually updated the PB config files to hopefully contain the correct MD5 hashes for the 1.1 patch.

Kilabee do you only get Server Authentication on a particular server or all of the servers? And which type of Server Authentication is it?(normaly it has a number after it in brackets)


To everyone else i think Iconz's server is now fixed so let's jump in and try our own domestic server with lower pings aye?:bounce:

Thank the admin for fixing it.

type two means punkbusta don't like you.(punkbuster kick) so first you should make sure it's turned on, so go to option and under game(i think) you should turn on punkbuster( need a cross in the box) because by default it's turned off.

If you done this could you try to update your punkbuster?

if still don't work could you get into a game and get kicked and quit the game under crysis directory there's a game log could you show me a copy of it as i've done in the post it will say "punkbuster kick.........(reason)" need that line to see why it's kicking you.

best of luck wish it's just as simple as turning it on :p
