Punkbuster has begun scanning .exe

[caliber1942]

Punkbuster has begun scanning the .exe for changes (and possibly the .dlls).

I tested this by playing the game with no hacks enabled for 5 mins and then turning hacks on (which modify the code in the .exe) and it kicked pretty quickly (<2 mins). I did this twice and also noted that I originally got kicked before I did all this testing. This began around 4PM EST USA today:

Appears to not be a hack kick or any kind of punishment, just a kick for memory corruption. I have been using my hack for awhile now with no probs until today. I haven't been watching to see if Punkbuster has been updating or anything, someone else will have to report. Scanning has definitely begun, though.

edit: i had an image but for some reason i cannot upload a DAMN thing to this forum. Really I am not this stupid-

oh well. take my word for it. it says:

Punkbuster Error
You have been kicked for 0 minutes do to the following error: Corrupted Memory

it's not just you, man... doesn't work for for me either.

i tested yesterday some code like you, cal - i got the same kick reason as when itc 0.99 got detected: 80174 File/Memory Corruption.
a took a closer look at this and saw som problems that appear, when this detection is passed:
- if you change specific sections permanently, it is detected by improper md5 check
- if you patch the exe file or dlls permanentely in specific areas, then you'll get an md5 error
i don't know if thats your error code, because of the not working photo link...
i wanted to disable a complete function by changing two jumps i got kicked. anyway, i found a way to inject code in the main areas of the exe and renddx9.dll, without getting detected - nowater and recoil movement.
hope to see your pic and an interesting thread about detection schemes...

god i hope not the pb is doing that shit pff . any one else have this problem ??

[chilli]

it is indeed catching all kind of memory patching currently inside the exe. code cave, nopping, force jump anything that doesnt pass the md5 check is good for kick :(

[Spontaneous]

yep, normal for PB to do in the BF series.

[Hanny]

but there are ways to pass it right ?

maybe the "noobs ?" thread in the 'Battlefied General' forum answers your question... :cool:
