Quake 3 misery...............
I can't for the life of me get this damn thing to work with punkbuster. I've read on other message boards what to do but nothing works. Here's what I did:
1. Download lasted 132 patch
2. Copy pak0.pk3 file from CD to baseq folder
3. Install punkbuster from Quake 3 folder
4. Try webpb in home pb folder
I can play after step three but get knocked into spectator mode because of old version of punkbuster. When I use webpb, the game loads and just as I'm about to join a match... the game crashes. I've tried this several times, a couple different ways... trashed application support, etc. Nothing. Anyone know what I need to do to get this game to work correctly?

Maybe I had to use the update feature within Q3?
Sorry HTH
I ran the webpb updater on the PB folder within my home folder under libraries/applicationsupport/quake2/pb
It took a heck of a long time to update and after it did. I could FINALLY run Quake3 online.

edit: it's pbweb, sorry.
NOTICE: PunkBuster is designed to auto-update itself during gameplay. PBWEB is the easiest method of manually updating PunkBuster for most users (players and admins).
The following files are only needed if your PunkBuster doesn't update by itself.
So... I guess I'll trash everything and reinstall.... run quake and let it autoupdate during a match once I get bumped into spectator mode. I didn't know punkbuster autoupdated. I dumb.... I'll let you know if it works.
