locoJoe Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I recently dnlded Red.Orchestra.2.Heroes.of.Stalingrad-SKIDROW. Does anyone here play? I am new to the game but it looks very cool. Ive been thru the "training" and have started an Axis Campaign. The thing is that punkbuster was installed (no problem) I dont play online so I uninstalled PB (no problem). Now tho when I start the game there is a delay(problem). I install PB and delay goes away. I leave PB installed but disable startup service and there is a delay. I have turned off the in game punkbuster option, even so if PB is missing or service disabled I have a rather lengthy delay when starting Red.Orchestra.2.Heroes.of.Stalingrad. I have looked on gamecopy and similar sites but have found no "fix" for this behavior. Any deas? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that when the game starts it "looks" for PB and that is what is causing the delay. Thanx anyways tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 24, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's been years since I've paid attention to Punkbuster, but as far as I know, games generally require it to even function. So yeah, you are correct, it must be searching for it.If punkbuster runs as a service, you can try setting it to manual startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx anyways thoHm, i thought maybe you just forgot to remove PB from the InGame settings and that could cause the delay when it searches for it and it's not there because already uninstalled. PB not really is a copy protection, it's a cheat protection therefore no one will touch it or remove it's implementation from the game code.PB doesn't hurt and it doesn't use much resources, if you have many games installed and all will be shipped with their own PB version that will be installed with the game, there still only is one PB service that is active to reduce the resource consumption.
