I am trying to play 1.32 as well as threewave
and my Punkbuster seems to be updated to thevery latest, I got PBWEB and updates it.

I cannot connect most 1.32 servers, I am getting this message:

client_unknown_to_auth

AND

PB GUID AUTH:UNKN

I have no idea wat these things are, I used to play everyday and can connect to a lot of servers then suddenly one time, I am getting these stuff

Please Help!

It will be appreciated

thank you

Go into your Quake III Arena folder and delete the file q3key. Then go back into :q3: and re-enter your 16 digit CD key.

Hopefully that'll do it. If you are using a "warez" CD key, forget it.

oh thanx for that but theres one more problem,

PB GUID AUTH:UNKN

i have no idea what that is, it makes me connect to the server and after a second it kicks me out then that message appears.

So when you use PBWEB?

What does it tell you? Any problems in updating like can not update file and such?

;)

:shrug: He says in his post he has PBWEB so I think he uses it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought PB updates itself?

You do have PB enabled in quake3 correct? :shrug:

You do have a valid q3key?

I'm just asking these things to get more info on what you have is all. :icon26:

Little addition: I know PB can manually be updated but it DOES update itself. :icon30:
