Question - What is a PBSS?

A PBSS is a screenshots returned by PunkBuster software installed on a gaming server.

This guide will help you identify visual cheats and the graphic errors that are not cheats. We will also show you how to search for these screenshots with or without special software.

The menu above is split into 3 columns, left column is finding shots, middle column is what to look for and the right column is how to submit the suspected screenshot.

This is a break down of what a PBSS looks like, and what each item means.

  • Alpha - is the snap shot of the game being played, this is what the player should be seeing.
  • Beta
    • This is in two parts, 1340653 and 216.180.236.207:8777
    • The first part is the serial number for the screenshot.
    • The second part is the servers IP address and port number.
  • Gamma
    • This is in two parts, *5d3ff3eefe9ecec6377e60851d96d1a7* and [CLS]_-_AiRcON-_ , these will different for individual players.
    • The first part is the player GUID
    • The second part is the players name.
  • Delta - this is the attempted capture size of 729 pixels wide by 395 pixels high with the screenshot being centered on 50% of the width and 50% of the height. You can set the capture area to any size you wish, the bigger the better. The x and y coordinates can also be set to any number between 0 and 100, 50% x 50% is the middle of the players screen.
  • Epsilon - this is the resulting capture size and sample rate. PBSS's are limited in size, so the actual captured area is smaller than the one requested in this case. The sample rate tells you what number of pixels have been captured, the higher the number the more screen captured but the less quality.
    • Sample rate 1 captures every pixel so it is the most detailed, but also the smallest area.
    • Sample rate 2 ( the most common ) captures every other pixel.
    • Sample rate 4 captures every fourth pixel, this will give you the largest amount of screen area captured but will also be the lowest quality.
