I still kept getting the message BUT when after i re-install 1.32 and PB (so everything is new) i can connect to the servers, and it will put me on spec, now i know why that happens, it will update my pb, but its now updating it cause it says PB CANT AUTHENTICATE.....etc...sigh then mins later, i will go back to the PB GUID AUTH:UNKN so annoying. why is quake with pb so hard to play. _________________

Evenbalance FAQ for Quake 3 ...............Copy directly from the FAQ.................. Why am I getting kicked for PB Guid Auth: UNKN? The "PB GUID AUTH: UNKN" kicking means that your Game client is not sending a valid cdkey to id's cdkey auth server. Usually this is due to a problem with your cdkey entry. Exit Quake3 and then use your Windows explorer program to find the baseq3 folder where Quake3 is installed on your system and delete the file called q3key. Launch Quake3 directly and before you get to the game's main menu, it should ask you to enter your cdkey. Be sure to enter the 16 character cdkey from your Quake3 cd-case in all lower case letters. NOTE: If your cdkey has 18 characters, then you are not finding the right key. Team Arena keys have 18 characters, Quake3 keys have 16. If this does not fix the problem, then perhaps there is some type of firewall or security software blocking your game's communication to id's cdkey auth server. Be sure that UDP port 27952 is open for clear communication if you have a firewall or some type of security software. Note: A cdkey is only valid if you bought the game and have a cdkey on your cd-case! Using a cdkey generator will allow you to overcome the checksum check within Quake3, stating that your cdkey is valid - it is only valid for single player though and will not allow you to play on the internet Take a look and see if that helps at all? I think it might.
