View Full Version : Punkbuster "Ignoring Queries" error
I've been using certain servers for a long time, and this is the first time I got this message: "PB (Ignoring Queries) #900xx", where xx is two numbers that I forget. I was then promptly kicked from the server and got a Punkbuster dialog with nothing displayed. I cannot connect to that server again, and I tried another one, which didn't display the message but kicked me after 2 minutes with the same empty Punkbuster dialog box. I haven't changed anything between last night and this morning, and everything worked fine last night. What's up, and what can I do about it??
The message actually says: "PB Important: Violation (Ignoring Queries) #9006".
Sounds like your PnkBstr (A,B,or K) is not running in the background. Open Task Manager with the game running and check under "processes"......"(Ignoring Queries)" is a PnkBstr issue.
Regardless, I suggest you manually update PB:

I had the same yesterday, did a manual update and this resolved the problem :)
I also found this on PB's site:
Note #3: A 9006 kick means that the PB client is crashing repeatedly. The most common reason for this is "RamDiskXP" or another similar ram disk product, also "True Crypt" is known to cause this. If you have one of these enabled/installed, please try disabling/uninstalling it. Also make sure you have the latest Service Pack installed and are running with the latest Windows Updates.
If you don't have them installed/enabled, please try reinstalling PunkBuster using PBSetup. If this doesn't solve the problem you will need to investigate further into your system. You may need to perform a virus scan or uninstall recently installed programs. Until the PunkBuster client can startup and run without being crashed, you will be unable to play on PB enabled servers.
Feel free to press the "thanks" button after you are sorted....8-)
