![]() ![]() Most attempts at cheating will only receive a detection warning, but cheats that interfere with PunkBuster's software itself could lock out the GUID of the offending system and disable access to all PunkBuster enabled servers for that particular game. Either the GUID (generated from the CD key ) or parts of the computer's hardware are banned from PunkBuster-enabled servers. PunkBuster uses a system called 'global banning'. Enforcement Global GUID bans and Hardware bans However, some games might still require administrative rights before PunkBuster will function correctly. Starting with PB client v1.700, a Windows service with full administrative rights is used in complement with the ingame PunkBuster client, allowing updates without user rights elevation. Upon connecting to a game, the user will be immediately kicked for having insufficient OS privileges. PunkBuster does not allow Windows users without administrative accounts to connect to any games. For this reason, 64 bit clients will not be able to play in PunkBuster enabled servers unless they run the 32-bit client of the game. Some games (like Crysis or BioShock 2) do not have a 64-bit version of PunkBuster. These bans mean permanently banning players whose HD id matches the blacklist at Evenbalance.
