Well I'm just wondering I usally play the freezedt mod, but anyways whenn I type pb_plist it says the last 8 digits of your guid, and then it says if your cd key is valid well mine says (VALID2) What does this mean?

First it means whoever that is has a valid CD key, second (I don't remember for sure) I think it has something to do with newer CD keys, but I'm probably wrong.

Well that doesn't really answer the question, what does it mean? i couldn't find anything on PB's site...




Found it

(VALID) or (VALID2) means that the GUID is valid
(UNKN) means that the guid is not known to the PB Guid Auth server and should be considered cheated
(LAN) means that the player is on a LAN with the server (see pb_sv_lanmask setting above)
(WRONGIP) means that the GUID is valid but the IP address of the player does not match the last IP address authed by id's cdkey auth server
(BANNED) means that the GUID has been permanently banned from all PB Servers (it should be rare to see these as PB will remove such players from the game immediately upon joining)
(-) means that the PB Server has not received any communication from the PB Guid Auth server for this GUID (could signify the PB Guid Auth server is down or that a firewall is blocking communication)
(AUTHDOWN) means that the PB Guid Auth server is working, but that id's cdkey auth server is down - please notify us of this condition via email to support@evenbalance.com


I guess that still doesn't really answer the question though.
