Subject: Q3 Punkbuster No longer Supported


Hi all,
It seems that the guys at evenbalance have decided to withdraw support for Quake 3 arena.
This will mean that Punkbuster can no longer be updated the usual way.

The good news is, that the servers that still run PB should be able to continue as normal.

But, the major problem in all this is that anyone without the latest version will no longer be able to update it via the pb setup program.

But do not worry,
I have a solution.

I've uploaded my own fully updated pb folder for anyone who needs it.

It's in RAR format so all you need to do is extract the pb folder into your Quake 3 arena one.

Here's the link: Punkbuster Full

It should work as iv'e tested it with some of my teammates successfully.

If anyone has any views or problems feel free to post them here.

MuTAnT.

Extract the RAR files, then put the PB folder into your Quake3arena directory to replace the existing one.

Excellent work on finding that link.
I should have mentioned that my uploaded pb folder would only work if your q3a was previously installed with some older version.
A fresh install would require the exe file as you now know.
I was actually on my way to upload the exe file, but now that you've found that link there's no need.
