Punk Buster Duplicate GUID/CD Key Error

Has PunkBuster booted you off servers lately for the "Duplicate GUID/CD Key" error?

You're not alone.

Of course if you have a bootlegged disk ...then you've been caught with your hand in the digital cookie jar.

However, assuming you are indeed running a unique, legitimate copy of CoD (or any other PB supported game) there are many reasons why this error could have occurred.

Not the least of which is that the PunkBuster program failed to auto-update itself. Perhaps your firewall prevented it? Perhaps you had a computer crash or power outtage during the update procedure (that's what happened to me!).

Well, this is how you fix your PB and get yourself back to playing CoD. Go to PB's website and use the setup program they provide and use it to manually update PunkBuster.

If you are an MS Windows client, download: pbsetup.exe

There are other setup programs for Linux and Mac users. Run the program and it will update that badboy for ya!

Remember, when PB kicks you for no good reason - kick back.
