Well, I installed the game in Win2000Pro and it would not update when being on online play, but when I used PBSetup, it worked just fine and would Enable in Multi-Player. It sure seems like the new PB is incompatible with Win98SE in Q3Arena. I am still interested in why it doesn't work on my Win98SE...

Still no luck. I did notice that if I just change the pbcl.dll file in PB, it reverts back to the PB v 0.993 and it will then allow PB to Enable, but still no way to update online, even after waiting 20min in spectator mode. I really believe that it has something to do with the PB update (cl version...

Hi again, tombston3r, I knew that about spec mode and I waited for over 20min. My pb ver was 0.993 and it would not update during spec mode. I tried pbweb.exe and it updated and then I again could not get PB to Enable again with the update in place. I copied all in the PB folder to another folder an...

I have been playing Q3Arena v 1.32 online for quite awhile (yrs). In the last month or so I cannot 'Enable' PB in Multi-Player mode, or in any mode that I've tried. PB client version: 1.524|A1353 PB server version: 1.261|A1353|C1.254 I even uninstalled PR1.32 and then Q3Arena (including deleting the...

I will close out of this post and start a new one entitled Win98SE and the New PB.
Thanks to all who responded.

tombston3r, I appreciate your time and suggestions. I also think that it may be the 'new' PB program that is causing the problems I am experiencing on my Win98SE system. There is probably a simple solution, but I have put too many hours into this already (over 10). I tried using EvenBalance's troubl...

Thanks for the reply.
I am on my own PC as administrator (the only user) and all my q3config.cfg files are checked as Archive and I can change the properties.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that also, but it will still not enable.
When I then close out the game, cl_punkbuster 1 reverts back to 0.

How did you fix it. I have the same problem and I can't get it to work.I tried pbsetup.exe, \pb_cl_enable, and even \cl_punkbuster 1 (which gives me the 'cl_punkbuster is read only' message. The game played fine online for years with PB and now it won't. I uninstalled Q3Arena totally, reinstalled, a...
