Onion Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I saw that some of you windows 7 users managed to get PB working on windows 7. When I try to play on CoD 4 servers, I keep getting kicked by PB because of unkown windows API processes or something like that.

dr_bowtie Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I havent had any issue getting Punkbuster installed... Some games like BF2 installed by default and so did Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and Enemy Territory... Punkbuster installed just fine.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Yeah, the install worked fine for me too, but when I play the game I get a PB kick because of unknown windows api functions or processes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I havent gotten that...even when I play the games I listed online it goes fine.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I had the same issue with Battlefield 2, but since it's not really a new game anymore, my solution to the problem was not to play it. What build of Win7 are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) 133t I was having the same issues as you and after doing some searching this was the only thing that seemed to help, I was able to play for about 10-15 min which is much better than the 1 min I would get before. Here is the official response from Even Balance. You could give this a shot if you want, tho online petitions don't usually mean anything. Funny thing is some Punkbuster games work and some don't, I guess World at War works without a hitch, so just play in servers that don't use Punkbuster. Punkbuster imho is a worthless pile of garbage, and even balance doesn't give two crap about us gamers. If you want to see some Punkbuster getting owned videos do a youtube search for codehook.

Crow47 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Thought I haven't put a whole lot of testing into this yet, I just went to the PB website and downloaded the updated files for punkbuster and stuck those in the appropriate pb folder (folder called "pb" under your cod4 folder). So far that's worked for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I wish there was a petition to shut down Even Balance, their software is nothing but trouble. It keeps people from cheating though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 It keeps people from cheating though. well of course a better cheat protection should be implemented but PunkBuster just never has been problem-free system. It takes too much user involvement to have running right. Valve's Anti Cheat (VAC) system runs great and never gives the user any trouble no matter what. I don't know why so many games run with PB, it's horrible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I've never had any problems with Punkbuster except when running beta operating systems which is to be expected. :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have the 1st release of that program lol. I run hacking servers sometimes to see which hack works best lol.
