Hi guys, today I connected and was in spec for about 10 seconds when my computer stalled. I restarted it and connected to QAW again, but then got instantly kicked by PB, saying "PB Guid unknown". Then I checked for updates, but again: "PB Guid unknown". Thereafter, I looked in this section and fond R3zin's thread about that problem and installed the files he recommended. Now, I don't get the PB kick, but what happens is that I just can't connect to QAW. Endlessly, I have to wait for connection. The server is not down, because I can see players when I toggle down the list on the website. Please... can anyone help me?!

I did... removed pb altogether, reinstalled it... restarted computer... but when I try to connect I still only get the message "Waiting for connection". The same happens when trying to connect to the customs server.

Some time ago I had a problem with E T. I did reinstal and immediately after... pb update. After that I connect to the server, and pb kicked me.... in the long story short .... I had 4 or 5 times in a row, to update pb, and then was everything fine..
and cause subsequent problems could be firewall.
After you check all this, start et, and tildes type... / seta r_alloweextensions 1

you have et updated to latest patch for sure? If you reinstalled et did you copy your old et key back to the new install? www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exethe above will check your pb files and fix them if something is wrong with them. i recieved this url from pb after i started a work ticket with them when win 7 came out. good luck

also are you running et as an admin? If not then without that permission windows could be blocking et's connection to the internet.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions, but nothing helped so far... Either Thursday or Friday, I'll go for a fresh re-install and just hope for the best.

Lion, I had the same thing once but I think it was because I was having router trouble. I wouldn't go much beyond resetting your router unless you know what you are doing though, they are a pain in the ass to set back!
May be completely unrelated to your router but might be worth a rest to be sure?

Delete Etkey from Etmain folder. DO NOT DELETE YOUR KEY lol that's your admin key. Also go into your et pub folder then into profiles look for a file called profile.pid this file you can delete. After you delete this file open your cfg and find anything that says unsafe, highlight the word unsafe and delete that as well. All the unsafe means is ET crashed and it resets your cfg to stock vid settinds.

So now I'm having this problem and Rezin's and the file link in Rezin's older thread no longer work. I have tried deleting my profile in my ET folder, I have also run PBSVC to check that all my pb stuff is up to date. Still getting PB GUID Unknown error messages for now. Anyone know which pb files I need to reinstall and where I can find those? Thanks in advance

Thank you Barrel. I have been on every day this week (including last night!) so I don't know why I suddenly started to experience this PB GUID unknown business? Very odd. I shall try your suggestion and post an edit shortly with either a further thanks or a further plea for help! Double thanks Barrel - it worked Hero.
