Ah. "What I know." This is a subject I have some familiarity with. What I know is that the last couple days you've been specifically stating that you can see the enemy team on your map. What I know is that your machine will not return PunkBuster screen shots, which is exactly one of the things cheat software can do to prevent detection of tag and/or map hacks. It's not a question of "why are we not receiving them", because we receive PunkBuster screen shots just fine from other players. Just not yours.

So if you want to name yourself hax, regularly declare you have hax, and now say specifically you have a hax that would be visible on the screen --- we are prepared to believe you, and why should we ignore that. If you're actually clean, that's great -- PunkBuster just needs to show us that. Uninstall whatever is blocking the PunkBuster screen shots from being returned, and once we can see your screen and see that it's clean, everyone will be back in business.

Obviously I can't tell you what exactly you need to remove or uninstall, since I don't know what you have installed. If you're really unsure, I'd say delete everything and start over by installing only the official game and it's patches, without any warez or other downloads of unknown origin.

Once you have uninstalled whatever is doing this and want to test, post here or PM and we'll lift the ban long enough to trigger a screen shot to see if it comes through clean.

By "whatever is installed" I meant anything that is modifying or replacing code specifically in the Battlefield 1942 and/or Punkbuster installations. Not "general software installed on my machine." I mean hacks essentially, unless you know of some other modification that was made to the Battlefield 1942 installation that explains the screen shots being blocked.

Note we also don't mean blocking as in "PunkBuster can't connect or can't get a screen image from your Battlefield 1942 game." It can. We do get images back. Without getting too specific, your machine isn't returning screen shots of you actually playing. It's returning a single "safe" screen shot image over and over again. And that image was taken at a time during the game when no screen shot had even been requested, which is why the behavior is highly suspect.

So we're not talking about "other software on your machine", because other software wouldn't even know what PunkBuster is or when is the right time to grab a "safe" image to fake out PunkBuster with. We're talking about something in your Battlefield 1942 and/or PunkBuster installation, specifically put there to thwart screen shots.

This is not a behavior occurring with any of the other regular players we're screen shotting. If it's not something you explicitly installed, then it's something that must have been part of whatever Battlefield 1942 installation you used; i.e. that installation set already contained some kind of hack or modification in it.

If you don't already have real installation CDs or the Origin version and need an alternate clean installation set, I would try Team-SiMPLE's download. Since even though it's not "official" I'm pretty sure there's nothing funky in there, since Team-SiMPLE invests way more time than even we do swatting down cheaters.

I'll clear the ban at 11pm GMT+1. Whenever you connect (it doesn't have to be right away / right at that moment; whenever you have time to actually game) we'll run a few screen shots to confirm whether they're clear now or not. If we still can't see your actual current game screen, the ban will be re-instated.

Ha. Oh well. Since the PunkBuster screen shots were still not being returned, we were taking this quick screen shot to see that your game would show or not show Zan in the mini-map.

But the fact you're holding the flag obscures that answer. :)

No worries, we'll just try it again later when people are on the server. The ban will stay off until then. For now I need to get back to work. Thanks for taking the time to try and confirm it.

Agree that after your latest re-install of Battlefield 1942, the screen shot issue is finally resolved and the screen shots are clean. Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry the joke triggered so much investigation; you didn't know that we were also unable to see your screen shots. :)

The screen shots are now back to being blocked again, so the ban is back on.

Whatever you did during the test you described as "re-installing with the Team-SiMPLE installation set" had successfully eliminated the issue. If it wasn't the Team-SiMPLE installation set itself being clean and free of this modification, then it was something else you changed, or the fact you were on a different machine than you're on now. We're not going back to having them blocked again, so retrace your steps and get back to the working configuration.

I don't have magic answers for you, Mali. All I know is that you did fix the issue, and all I know is what you told me you did when you fixed the issue. I'm not the one sitting in front of your machine or keeping track of the things you changed or removed, nor watching which machine you used for what.

You fixed the issue and were returning good screen shots on March 27 (your time zone), but then the next day and every day thereafter your machine went back to not returning screen shots any more. How would pirated Windows or Windows Updates be the problem, since neither of those two things have changed since March 27 when you successfully resolved the issue.

I don't have time to re-invest today just to re-cover all the same bases we already covered. Figure out what you did different on March 27, and do it again.

Yes, you already showed that the screen shot issue your machine was showing was fixable; it just didn't stay fixed. Same as before, our position here is "so long as your screen shots remain unblocked and we can see they are clear, everything is fine and the ban will be lifted."

This is not a case of "we have already seen that you do actually have a map hack". That would be the situation in which the ban is simply and forever permanent. But since you /said/ you have a map hack on several occasions and we couldn't /see/ that you didn't have one, we're saying your screen shots have to become unblocked in order to continue playing.

Let me know whenever you are ready to test again, and we'll lift the ban and take a few screen shots.

One suggestion though. You won't keep getting your "last" chances. Be honest. You seem to like to mess with your computers. Once you manage to get the PB screen shot to work again, keep it that way if you still want to play on our server. We will be taking ss from time to time. Don't let your "brother" touch it.
