Hello.
When I connect to punkbuster enabled server, punkbuster never updates.
Q3 version is 1.32b, not 1.32.
I tried manualy copying, from official homepage, necessary client files to my home directory but no effect.
What's wrong with my setting?
Thank you.

Try using pbweb.x86 from http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=updatepb.php. Make sure you put it into ~/.q3a/pb and run it from a command line.

Oh, Seg, thank you for the link.
I never noticed such files for linux do exist at official homepage.
Map-center people suggested similar file for windows but I thought they didn't understand my question and never checked aroud the files.

I'll try it and report back the result once going back from junior high school. :)

It worked!
Thank you very much.

But one thing odd was update progress was very slow.
Why it took so much time to just download small amount of files? :icon28: (My connection is ideally 1500k, not 56k.)
Maybe server was busy.

Probably updating it manually is the last resort. Therefore they probably set the upspeed to very, very small and reserve their other bandwidth for server updates from the actuall game.
