Reduce the Number of Punkbuster Checks Fix:

Joined: Jun 24, 2007 Posts: 21

Punkbuster, as you probably know, is the anti cheating software which comes bundled with 2142 and is required to play on all ranked servers and most public servers. Punkbuster scans your hard-drive for problems every 20 seconds. As you may have guessed, this causes a lot of lag.
What we are going to do in this fix is to increase the amount of time in between punkbuster checks to 500 seconds (the maximum amount so don't try anything higher lol). By the way, in case you were worried, this is 100% safe with punkbuster, and will NOT cause any problems with Punkbuster thinking you are a cheater. Punkbuster even recommends this fix on their website.

To do this you need to:
Join any 2142 online server which is running punkbuster, preferably a ranked one.
Once you are in, and respawned somewhere, press the `~(Tilda) key or you can just press end key.
A large white box should drop down with a load of text in it. Type pb_sleep 500 and hit the enter key.
Once you have done this, make sure the box is still up and type pb_writecfg to save your settings.
Hope this helps Cool
