But to be honest, the programs designed to stop cheaters are starting to irritate me more than the chaeters themselves. Just like in real life that ban on alcohol doesn't seem so bad compared to a camera up your arse on every corner and your phone conversations taped.
I didn't have much problems with these programs until when I formated my comp most recently and re-installed BF2 after 1 year. Since then I've been having troubles with PB. According to PB's own homepage it is because their service is indeed a spyware and my computer isn't allowing it to run.
I'm so sick of being monitored where ever and what ever I do and I'm even more sick of having to addapt my computer each time one of these stupid programs comes out or changes.
I've tried to fix my problem with some simpler solutions and I know there is a massive guide somewhere here to fix it but I would like to propose something ellse instead. A server free of Punkbuster.
Punkbuster drains CPU, laggs your computer and sometimes randomly performs checks that take even more CPU (very rarely tho, thus the rare lagg spikes).
It is also a spyware, a spyware we seem to accept for some reason.
This is a small community for a modification of a game that barely has any cheats out for it anyway. I belive that there is no reason to not have a PB-free server to rid ourselves of the constant problems brought by Punkbuster.
I belive it wouldn't attract cheaters and I belive that they would be swiftly banned by admins and their IP's and accounts gone for ever just as quickly as they came.
So could someone please, please, please make a PB-Free Server so I don't have to deal with the handshaking problem and so that you all don't have to deal with it and the CPU usage in the future. Each and every time you re-install this game.
Thanks
Really all we can do is wait for punk buster to make another patch that messes up something else in the game.
