During development of punkbuster, some negative side effects has popped up.
The good side: Agressive scanning through memory for hacks and cheats
The side effect: If you as players has a chat program running during gameplay, people can send you a message, which looks like a cheat to punkbuster.
Punkbuster can't seperate code in memory pr. program, this means a mesage recieved duing gameplay could be registered as a cheat, even though the chat-program has nothing to do with the game you play.
Our recommendations are to shut down all chat program, including MSN, X-fire and IRC while you are in game. Also most of the chat programs has been in development, thus you can receive offline messages.
