knocked back to the main Q3 menu

What's with the deal where I try to connect to various internet matches and I am knocked back to the main Q3 menu. There are some games I can connect and play, but they are default maps in Q3. I see the map preview so I have most of the maps being played, it's just I get bumped off and never connect to them. This has begun to happen alot more in the past few months. I have Comcast internet cable modem which I have reset, disconnected, whatever. I have pb installed correctly.

I can play some internet games, just alot, especially new maps get bumped. I have low pings so I have a good connection most games.

What's going on where I get knocked of of most game connections, before I get a chance to play them.

Punkbuster needs updating, invalid CD key, different version of Quake 3?

Ok, look, I've done the pb thing as instructed using the pb updater application in the correct folder then enabled in the console. I have the basic maps as well as alot of others.

But I am unable to play many DM games. I have no problem playing the rail games, excessive, freeze. But get bumped off to menu on the old great DM games. Is this again the case where I do not have the correct map? These are the main game maps, I don't understand.

Is there some problem w OSX48 and Q3 DM games? jr :icon23:

What is the process to do the DUMP?

I can't remember, sorry. I think I did this along time ago.

There has been an update. Last nite I was playing online in my favorite map, the Campgrounds which is a DM, so it has to be that the DM's I can't play are some hacked version of the original and I need to get the Map from the group, is that a correct assumption?

Thanks jr

Might be a map u don't have that the server is running. If it's running a different version of q3 it will be displayed when u enter the server, afaik.

edit: I just noticed how old this topic was, oh!
