Also, PB Servers running old versions will not be able to detect and deal with all of the latest versions of cheat/hack software. For PB Server Admins, messages are displayed to all players when a player joins who has a newer version of PB than what is currently running on the PB Server. When PB is not able to auto-update, various error messages are displayed. The PB Server software routinely checks with the master PB Servers and downloads new updates over the Internet when they become available and then distributes the new versions to connected PB Clients when players running an old version connect to the server. Both components are designed to automatically keep themselves up to date with the latest versions of PunkBuster. There are two major components to the PunkBuster system: the PunkBuster Server (runs on game servers) and the PunkBuster Client (runs on players' playing machines while they play the game). For cases where the auto-update fails, we have created a utility called PBSetup. Violations listed in grey above are PBBans violations.PunkBuster is designed to keep itself up to date using our proprietary auto-update system. Violations listed in green above are PunkBuster errors and non bannable violations. Violations listed in blue above are added to the PBBans MBI if they are cheat related.
