When I connect to a server with punkbuster enabled it crashes quake3 with this error:
AppName: quake3.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: pbcl.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000807a5

In event viewer in Windows it says :
"Faulting application quake3.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module pbcl.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000807a5.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
with event ID as 1000

It happens when I connect and after it says 0 Current Cvar Violations

I have reinstalled Punkbuster 3 times, Deleted quake 3 reinstalled, downloaded punkbuster again and installed, tried without punkbuster (which wont let me in ofc just says go to pb site to patch or whatever) I am at q3 version 1.32 point release.

Any Ideas ?

Yes, there was a process running in the background causing the error. Or something like that BioHazard was able to locate it. Thanks Happy

Basically the error will be caused by a program running in the background or in the taskbar.. ex.. anti-virus.. some other program.. you get the idea.. anyways just uninstall the program or remove the process from startup

edit: to find out the exact exe file start a localhost server and enable punkbuster locally (/pb_sv_enable) and it will show what exe is making the game crash

just a tip: To check out whats booting in your computer when windows starts, type un run "msconfig" and go to STARTUP tab, youll find list of files that windows loads while starting (dont mess with it if you dont know what the file is for, ask before removing any file that you think is suspicious.)

if you use OS windows ofc.

loading pb on localhost shows more details before the crash, and for a second will show the exe that causes the crash to happen
