Robyn,

If it keeps happening, you probably have to MANUALLY update PunkBuster. You can do so at: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php.

Have you tryed to tweak any of your settings? Look in your player config file and see what the seta r_drawdecal is set to.

Why do I get messages on some servers telling me that I have cvar violations and what should I do about it?
A cvar is a game setting. Cvars can be used to customize the game, but cheaters sometimes abuse cvars to exploit holes or bugs in the game in order to cheat. Admins of PunkBuster Servers have the ability to add specific recurring checks for players' cvar values during gameplay. If you have downloaded or written game scripts to automate tasks, then those scripts almost certainly will add and/or change cvars in your system. You will receive a warning if a cvar on your system is not in the range allowed by the Admin of the Game Server to which you are currently connected - the warning will also include the allowed range of values for the specified cvar. If you do not heed the warning, then after a few seconds or minutes, the PunkBuster Server will raise a violation and remove you from the Game Server. To change the current value of any cvar, press the tilde (~) key to bring down the game console, and then type the cvarname followed by a space and the new value, then press the Tab key and then the Enter key. For example, entering "cg_shadows 0" as a command will set your cg_shadows cvar to the value of 0. The Game automatically saves most cvar changes so that the next time you play, any changes from a previous session will still be in effect. You may request a list of all checked cvar rangess from the server using the �pb_cvarlist� command. You will see all checked cvars, the allowed ranges and also any of your cvars that are currently set outside the allowed ranges.

In other words the setting had been tweaked...LOL

[FeMmeFaTaLE]

I guess so ....!!! Certainly not by me. I'm gonna give him s***!!!

That's good to know, thanks for posting that. I wonder if there is a cvar setting for brightness, as some of the maps are intended to be somewhat dark, or incorporate night vision. Turning the brightness way up will negate the effect. /ponder

So it turns out it was as simple as going through console and fixing the decals #.

Heya,

Here's a link to Punkbuster's CoD4 support FAQ:

Try turning Norton off when you play, and manually update your Punkbuster:
