punkbuster killed the majority of quake 3 servers yesterday evening. it seems there was an issue in going from 1.004 and 1.005 versions of their absolutely href="http://www.quake.ie/comments.asp?item=1469">watertight cheat detection and prevention software. professional! all the angry server admins talk to the team behind this tragedy href="http://forum.evenbalance.com/forum/index.php?s=3f924744affbec7c3fa4b251d6725923&act=st&f=34&t=1443&st=0">here. it seems they've worked through the night and fixed it with a new trial version 1.006! hurrah! they sound like decent enough guys, just unlucky. but i think the vishnu q3 server is down for the weekend due to this until somebody can fix it.

From what i saw on BW servers the instances with broken PB basically maxxed out the CPU they were running on due to constantly trying to restart, so it might well have taken down another server.

fri 13th was unlucky anyway. I stepped on the cat, slipped on slimey pavement walking to college, had 4 assignments due that I didnt even have started and fecked them up, and got hit by a cunt on a motorbike who was trying to skip traffic by driving down opposing lane on the way home. and then the servers crashed! ah well
