will punkbuster ever support 64 bit?

MrPink · March 19th, 2008

so i kinda like playing crysis online, and usually all of the low ping servers use punkbuster, which doesn't work in 64 bit windows. i think some people complain about it, but i like that it allows me to play in games where i know there won't be hackers. mostly though, i just hate being told i cannot join the low ping servers because punkbuster doesn't have 64 bit support. so...how long will it take for 64 bit support to be implemented?

Its best you email the Even Balance team about 64bit support...

the punkbuster SERVICE, its not a driver, should work fine on x64 as long as you install it in admin permissions.

Punkbuster works perfectly on x64 machines, i have tested it on XP x64 and Vista x64, just make you are admin or you have admin privileges.

Works perfectly in x64.. Can play Battlefield 2 and punkbuster works with no issues.

ok, so i know its a big hassle to get true admin privileges in vista, but how so you do it?

i have an admin account, it is the only one on my comp. but beyond setting my account as an admin account, is there something else i have to do?
