and follow the client logging part at the top.
*****UPDATE*****


To get your GUID for Battlefield BC2 try this:

first off join a server that has Punkbuster activated and type in these / commands into chat

***MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A TRUE PUNKBUSTER SERVER, IF IT ISINT IT WONT LOG AN ID***

/pb_logtofile 1
/pb_writecfg
/pb_myguid

these should create a file called pbcl.cfg in your BC2 pb directory:

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2\pb\pbcl.cfg
Or
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2\pb\pbcl.cfg

if not create a file called pbcl.cfg and copy paste this into it

should look something like this:

pb_MsgPrefix "PunkBuster Client"
pb_Sleep 500
pb_LogToFile 1
pb_SsLog 1
pb_SsSave 1

now the next time you run BC2 and join a server pb *should* start logging all pb messages.

look for those messages in:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\BC2\pb\pbcl.log
or
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2\pb\pbcl.log
or
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2\pb\pbcl.log

there should be a logfile file named pbcl.log
in that file you should see your pb guid:

PB Server assigned guid = (your guid)

this is how mine looked
[03.13.2010 00:33:17] PB Server assigned guid = 9036ede0fff9a92c81c34699f1d0d4a2

After you find it, you may want to turn logging back off as it logs all pb messages and kick reasons for all players. The log file will get big.

Client Logging Setup What you need

* - Text Editor
* - PBCL Config ( http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=17 )



Setup Logging

To enable this you need to have the pbcl.cfg file in your root PB folder (Windows Vista and Windows 7 users please read the note at the end of this document). The contents of this file should contain the following:
pb_MsgPrefix "[skipnotify]PunkBuster Client"
pb_Sleep 500
pb_LogToFile 1
pb_SsLog 1
pb_SsSave 1


If you want to see all the PB messages on the screen use the following to replace the first line:

pb_MsgPrefix "PunkBuster Client"
This will however spam a lot of PB messages on the lower, middle of your screen (Max 3 lines showing)


Retrieve your PB GUID

Once PB logging is enabled join a PB enabled server. Load into the server and join a team.

Once you join and leave the PunkBuster enabled server, you should see a new
file in your folder titled pbcl.log. Open this file and look for
the phrase Server assigned guid. This is where youll find your PunkBuster GUID

PB Server assigned guid =

The full line should look like the following:

[05.02.2007 11:36:56] PB Server assigned guid = 206e3ab09c9b0776230be5a78a02f1f0
Now you can use this to search ban lists to see if you're banned should you get a Prior Kick/Ban message from PB.

*another update*
Copied from a TWL forum post

For league/ladder play it is a requirement that you list your Bad Company 2 PB GUID on your TWL account profile.

Due to the lack of a console in-game some players may find it hard to obtain their GUID if their clan doesn't have server etc...

If you need your BC2 GUID on your TWL profile - I will do it for you if you do the following:
- Tried all other alternatives to obtaining your GUID
- Have joined a server streaming to PBBans on your GUID
- Send an email to blip@teamwarfare.com with the following:

Subject: BC2 GUID Request
(Please make sure the subject is exactly as above or your email may be ignored)

Contents: Link to your TWL account page AND your BC2 login name.

I'll aim to process any request within 48 hours - please don't make multiple requests.
