From EvenBalance:

How can I run my game with PunkBuster support under Windows Vista?

To run PunkBuster under Windows Vista, you may need to run the game as an administrator. To do this, right click the icon you use to launch the game. Select "Properties", then the "Compatability" tab. From that tab, check the box labled "Run this program as an Administrator" and click ok.

O/S exception is different, screwy little error. Usually has to do with some security software (or other completely random software) messing with pb service or that pb service doesn't like. Kill off everything else and see if you still get it.

Looks like pb has broken something again, as a lot of people are getting kicked.

I feel for you guys, really I do, but, uh, not a problem on my mac

Seems to be a windows-pb issue.

yeah i was just looking at the jaymod site, noticed some neat options that arent being used on bba, like, a speedometer, which i think would be AWESOME, a breathbar for players underwater neat, and a molotov cocktail weapon! cmon thats awesome, iunno what this Haste's fixed physics code is but it sounds neat lmao, but no seriously why arent these being used on the servers?, is it cuz theyre considered "beta"? i mean cmon those things sound like theyd be awesome to have on the server

We use an older version of jaymod, as the newer ones (at least all that we've tried) have had issues when you get over 32 players.
