If you want to not see mentions of Battletracker in your client, then you can download the beta 8.22 version:
https://aao25.com/forum/news-82/(beta)-client-update-25assist-8-22/

The gist of it:
We now use 25Assist accounts. Old Battletracker accounts which had been used to log in to 25Assist since some time 2014 (if I recall) were migrated to 25Assist accounts.
You can control your account (create one, change password or name) on the top of the page under "Assist Account".

PS:
25Assist accounts and aao25.com forum accounts are in no way linked.

We allow one account per PC. This has been our policy for at least half a dozen years now.

My antivirus blocks the connection so I don't know if I should go there or not.
That's the only way you can register a 25Assist account. So if you do not trust us then you are welcome not to follow the link. But you'll also not have a 25Assist account.

I am able to login to the AAO25 website but for some reason I can't sign in the launcher and I always get that error message saying that I entered the password wrong when I know I didn't. Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance  :cool:
The forums and Assist are 2 completely different entities. You cannot use your forum account to log in to 25Assist. You'll need a 25Assist account for that.

You can create one at the top of this page under "Assist Account".

Have you tried running 25Assist as administrator?

Support / Re: account activation
« on: Saturday, November 21, 2020, 23:56:29 PM »
There is no account by that name pending activation.

You need to try and log in to 25Assist before the activation process is started.

Most accounts get automatically activated within 10 minutes.

Support / Re: anyway to retrieve an old AAO account?
« on: Sunday, November 15, 2020, 05:20:05 AM »
The original AA accounts (registered with the US Army) are long gone.

What remained for a long time was the possibility of using Battletracker accounts.
But now that site is also down.

The Battletracker accounts that were used to log in to 25Assist in the later years (since 2014, if I recall correctly) were migrated into 25Assist accounts.

As such, if you've not logged in using a battletracker account within last 6 years or so, your account information will be lost.

And I did look for an account with "InkSlingerX" in it, but was unable to find one in our database.

Assist Support / Re: YOU NEEE RESTOR HONOR SYSTEM TALK WHIT GAMETRACKER.COM

Tracking honor/points isn't trivial.

And let's be honest, it's an arbitrary number nowadays. Everyone playing the game today would likely be at honor 100+ if it was indeed tracked.

« on: Thursday, November 05, 2020, 14:53:11 PM »
i guess i did find the solution now - with credits to aapg player Wraiths_Defiler and SF][-General_alkos!

it seems really like a problem of windows 10. there is a windows directory called system32 - for 64 bit apps.
now there is also a windows directory called sysWOW64 - for 32 bit applications. and this is the problem i guess. and because aa2 is a 32 bit application, you should find the punkbuster files on a 64 bit computer in this system32 directory. but it was not there for me (and i have a 64bit OS).

solution (i hope):
go to your c:\windows\sysWOW64 directory and copy the following files to c:\windows\system32.

PnkBstrA.exe
PnkBstrB.ex0
PnkBstrB.exe
PnkBstrB.xtr

reboot computer, start 25assist, join server. punkbuster updating will appear, maybe also a kick. then join server again. should work. if not, join 25assist with admin rights, go to install tab and run fix pb.

ps: i did this and now i can join a server without any kick since 20 minutes
I also noticed the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe were in the SysWOW64 folder. But since I don't regularly used Windows nowadays, I assumed it was fine.

But on my end, like mentioned, the files are in the SysWOW64 folder and only there (although there are log files under System32). And it seems to work just fine.

Teddy, can you start assist on that laptop again please?
I did the same as you on a laptop. And like yours i could play 15 minutes (3 rounds) without any kicks. Then i rebooted the laptop and - i did get kicked by

service communication error: PnkBstrB.exe: heartbeat stopped

Now i did see that my windows is running the punkbuster services A and B, but with complete other versions then it shows at aa25assist.

Windows: A=1036, B=2202
aa25assist: A=a1371, B=c2243

this is very strange. I will do some more tests... but let me know if you get kicked now also.
I ran it again and found no problems. Although I was alone on the server.

PnkBstrA - v1033
PnkBstrB - v2.243 AAO

Is anyone who's having issues running another game that uses PB? Perhaps something is getting messed up?

Just installed on my laptop and played for 10 minutes with no issues (although I was on my own).

Here's what I did:
  • Downloaded 25Assist v8.22
  • Created a 25Assist folder where the exe was to force installation there
  • Ran 25Assist as admin
  • Waited for it to download and install everything
  • Joined an empty server and ran around for 10 minutes (2x 5 minute rounds)

OS:
Windows 10 Home
version 20H2 build 19042.610

No prior installations on this machine.

Is everyone making sure to run it as admin?

a couple of people offered to help but you ignored them (normally people later went to other games and are no longer here).
I'd love to see where you think this happened. You can link to that/those place(s).
and for the record I'm not against this project,everyone knows that!!
I am more against you and people like you who do not accept the suggestions of the whole community,who don’t play aa2 for years and decide everything in aa2..
Without the people currently running it this project would be dead. If you don't like those people, then you're against the project. There is no other way of looking at this.
did you wonder why the other assist admins left aa2, why 90% of the players left aa2 ..
Probably you should ask yourself, you are an assist admin..
People left because they had other things to do in life. They moved on. It happens.

Although it sounds like you're trying to make it sounds like someone might have left because of me. And I find this incredibly offensive for multiple reasons.
For one, just because you've got some beef with me, doesn't mean someone else does as well.
And you seem to be overestimating my position here. I was in no position to "force people out". If someone didn't like me, they'd be able to do that to me rather than the other way around.


I'd like to give you another reality check here. Because it's clear you're living in some fantasy world.
  • The people who are or were involved with this project have done this out of their own free will. In their own free time. They expected nothing in return.
  • An off hand remark "I could do X or Y" is not a genuine offer to pour hundreds of hours into a project 99% of the time.
  • As people grow older, their priorities change. They move on. It's normal for any voluntary position.
  • You shitting on people who are providing you a free service does not help boost their motivation
