### Further information

Why do you guys have not added the base pb files to CoD and BF servers ?
https://community.pbbans.com/files/category/7-legacy-punkbuster-files/

!Attention! PB - PunkBuster needs Windows + Linux files inside his folder to work for Linux and Windows players !

To stream to PBBans etc. you can use my pbsv.cfg as base configuration
https://github.com/BestNoob/pbsv.cfg

i mean you can leavbe it disabled as standard but please add the BASIC files so admin can get it to work by just enabling it:
in startparameters: +set sv_punkbuster 1
in config file: set sv_punkbuster "1"

cheesus why is security and anti cheat still such a issue in 2024 ?

### Relevant log output

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. start a gameserver
2. no anti cheat enabled, no punkbuster and also none of the ingame anti cheat mechanism by the gameservers (ok VAC is enabled by standard for steamservers)
