Evenbalance no longer supports Call of Duty 4. This does not mean we will be removing Punkbuster - it is still a viable admin tool which provides us with many methods of protecting our servers. It does mean that if you reinstall then the standard PBSetup will be unable to download and setup the files for you. I have therefore added a legacy section to our downloads that will help you setup Punkbuster. 

 

There is now an updated walk-through found here:

Most of you who know me know that I was having a shit load of probs with installing punkbuster for COD4! Come to find out(info for testing) All those probs actually were not PB's fault. My R.A.T.7 failed on me and it wouldn't do anything except up and down. I finally replaced it with a temporary $20 mouse and what do you know all those things that wouldn't work before all of a sudden works great! I went in and tried re-installing pb and within minutes had it all setup and running! Needless to say I am happy as a cucumber in vinegaret dressing! LOL

Hey duc,

 

Where do you extract the windows PB files too?  I am assuming it is into the COD 4 /pb directory. 

 

Cheers,

 

Me

@@Devilsbed if you are doing it manually then yes, wherever your game is installed.

 

The easiest way to install pb for the client is to run the first download which is the pbsetup for legacy games.

Is there something I'm missing ? I installed punk buster the day I reinstalled the game on to this computer 2 years ago and have never had any trouble is there a different Punk Buster than the one that comes with the game?

I'm trying to get my COD4 game back up, but I'm having pretty bad issues with PB.  

I've followed all the instructions with pb legacy to get it to work and I'm running 1.7 but I still get kicked out on "init" problems with pb.

 

I found the "legacy pb" to be a pos since it instantly updates itself to v3.8 which doesn't work. I tried stopping it from updating and continuing with the instructions but it still just isn't happy.

You only need to perform this setup if you play on servers that require Punkbuster.

 

 
 
 

 

The first file is the most important and contains the readme for setting up Punkbuster, the subsequent files are the PB files for the game platforms. 

I would just like to thank you again for doing such an awesome job in helping us idiots to continue to hang out with each other.

I changed nothing and it started working.

 

After my reinstall of COD4, I followed this and it worked perfectly! Awesome job!

I'm on a Mac.  I keep getting kicked off of COD4.  I Installed a pbsetup for Mac from the Punkbuster site, but when I run it, it doesn't have any games listed to add.  I can't get it to work.   I don't know what to try next.

Sounds like you haven't actually installed Punkbuster and have only installed the game files. Run this program: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

I just got a new HDD, and have a fresh install of cod4 and pb.  When I try this, I recieve this message when trying to update pb. Has it been removed completely, or am I missing something?

 

Edit: Since you cant read the error:

Error #0100: ERROR: The update attempt failed because the file "http://websec.evenbalance.com:6080/downloads/cod4/pbsecsv.htm" is missing on the update servers. Please try again later.

Go to the cod4 section and look for the pinned thread about legacy PB support.

Are you talking about the thread we are posting in?  I tried the steps in the video, copied the pbgame file and found cod4 in the list.  But when I select the game and it tries to update it, I receive that error.

This looks like PB may have completely removed support including legacy support. I will look into it soon.
