if U play vs ppl who U know and trust than pb imho can be off. f.e. I don't need pb vs MR cause I am sure in all members of this clan (only Kaktus and Zont can cheat here but pb won't detect if they drank Laughing. but also there are clans with ppl who have "strange" shots and game-styles and I won't agree to play vs them with pb off (may be it's really a bit useless now but anyway I feel myself more quiet).

in older quake releases without pb, everyone records his pov, if someone has no demo then the team loosed the game, if someone cheated team is disqualified

also suggested predator developers and their will to work together, but so far nobody cared to put some effort

PB not only have problems with win7 I still can’t use windowed mode In Vista because the game kick’s me all the time, and sometimes randomly when I try to run the game under Vista, so I’m forced to use xp for some games. Also these *folks* don’t want to cooperate with ioquake3, grrrr… and we’are outdated Thinking

I am addicted to life.

Well, I totally agree with hazo. Just if 1 team thinks that PB is necessary on this CW - It HAS to be on. If both dont mind about having it off - it can be switched off. Thats pretty k. (u can also deal to turn it on between maps etc). Sad that I cant vote cos vote is about how cool/bad is PB, but the problem is if its needed in some situations or not.

So maybe we will have some conclusion here.

Maybe before cw when both leaders agree to play without it, and we will have screenshot before match with both clans agreeing to have it off then cw can be ranked with PB OFF?

I really didn't mind to play with PB since I've upgraded my OS to Win7 and people from evenbalance don't care about a lot of communities (E+, ET and all the q3 related mods).

As a prove of nocheating to play without PB a mvd demo can be uploaded for admins to judge some suspicious behaviours of 'random-ultra-plasmaskilled' players. What do you think about that?

As long as demos are recorded and posted, I personally have no problem with pb being off. PB lagged my old computer to shit when on so i appreciate that some don't like it. But can't you just make a XP partition mnc? Tongue

and exactly here is the problem, read narcyz signature and u will realise it.
if we turn off pb, we allow any cheat that isnt obvious.
and there are tons of these!

for people trying to see somebody cheat its like in physics, there is a horizon of what u can see and what not, no matter if its demoed or not, its possible to cheat without being recognised gaining u a few frags making ur team win.
