Buffalo Bad Asses

Ok, just got my computer updated. Have my new 500 gig HD with Win 7 and my secondary HD with Win XP.

I am going to attempt to download ET on my new HD with 7. I haven't done this in a long time. Besides downloading ET, I notice there is patch 2.60 and 2.60b- which one do I need?

Anything else? I fairly sure I save my key on a thumb drive-(we will see)

Thanks!

Install ET, then run the 2.60patch and to finish overwrite et.exe and etded.exe with the 2 files from the 2.60b patch.
and don't forget to get punkbuster updated/administrator rights

Thanks for your help!

I ran the 2.60 and 2.60b patch, fairly sure PB is up to date.

When I try to log on any server it says;

Game Code (ui_mp_x86.dll) failed Pure Server Check.

Any clues?

A lot off people have the same problem

Thanks , I will uninstall ET and start over again.

I almost have it. I actually copied the files into my new HD and got into the BBA server 1 with all my tags but punkbuster is booting me.

I am not sure if my admin priviledges are matching up.

Any clues on the punkbuster problem?

Thanks!

Bump it up... Any clues on the PB problem?

You copied your old etkey into THE new etmain folder, right?

A/w does pb gives an error when it kickes you?

I get on the server and PB kicks meoff within a few seconds. I did copy my old key into my etmain folder. When I went on the server I did notice I had the same xp as when I left ad my BBA tags were on.

Tonight after getting booted by PB on the BBA 1 server, I attempted to go on other servers and had no problems. I was on a jaymod server with no apparent problems with PB.

I get this:

"Server Disconnected PB kicked Service Comm. Failure"

hm, since I didn't had time to install win7 again myself, I don't know which of the solutions will work..

you could try to make sure pb service is installed correctly by running this: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

or try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/wi ... -territory

or start>run>services / start>search>services
->pnkbstra & pnkbstrb >properties>check allow this service to interact with the desktop

hopefully I can find some time soon to install it again myself.

Thanks, I will try some of these you suggested.

I ran the PB service utilty and here is the results:

Tests finished.

It appears the handy PB utility worked. I went in for a few minutes and didn't get kicked. I did notice it seemed very laggy and not smooth though.
