Release Notes

PunkBuster Server for RtCW

11/27/02 v1.001

- new pb_sv_updategrace setting to specify the number of seconds a PB Client is given to update (if necessary) before being removed - default is 600 (10 minutes)

- new pb_sv_noguidgrace setting to specify the number of seconds a player is allowed to stay on the server with a 'NO_GUID' identifyer before being removed - default is 0 which means NO_GUID players are not removed

- outbound PB Packets are now queued and sent once per frame (max) in an effort to address packet bursts (also pb_sv_sleep setting is ignored starting with this PB Server version)

- new GUID system assigns player GUIDs at the server so that punks can't impersonate other players

- violations are now logged with player GUID and IP Address

- temporarily disabled duplicate GUID/CDKEY violations while testing this version

- logs and reports (if/when necessary) to players when the server is using an old version of the PB Client

- temporarily removed the 'invalid guid' and 'changed cdkey' violations because of problems with some mods - will reintroduce in a future update
