I had to reinstall Windows 8.1 and all of my apps and games, including COD WAW. I installed the PunkBuster legacy file from the downloads section of the website and it found the game. For some reason I have the option to upgrade PB (which I did not do), but not the PB definition for the game. Whe I go to play the game, I get a "PunkBuster init failure" error after a few minutes. Any thoughts or suggestions? This has been a freaking frustrating evening of re-installing the game twice, and after finally getting into the game, I get booted every time. Awards

I copied them over to the PB subdir, and I got into the game ok. After a few minutes, I got another error. I did a print-screen to copy it, but there was notheing to paste into Photoshop. If I recall, it looked like it was a version error for the COD-WAW file. Any ideas? I appreciate the help. Edited May 19, 2014 by Astronomer Awards

Very confusing. Awards

I downloaded the PB legacy files and the COD WAW definition files there as well, and set it to find my game. I can see a button to update the PB.exe file (which I don't so), but no option to update the game definition, which I THINK is the issue. I'm still getting the PBinitfailure error. I'm running Windows 8.1, which I was running before the re-install and everything was working fine. My firewall has been turned off (no big deal - my network is protected with a Sophos Unified Threat Management Server). I'm stumped. Awards

Once I did that, all was, and is, well. Awards
