Bought new PC...download COD 4 from Steam.

When starting game for first time looks like it tried to install Punkbuster but it failed.

Am able to play Single player.

Click on Multiplayer option and screen just goes blank. Researched issue and it appears COD 4 Multiplayer requires PB to run.....is this correct?

Where do i find "right" version of PB to run COD 4 Multiplayer?

Appreciate any help.....

Cheers!

You need the punk buster legacy files for steam.

These are the files, just follow the readme file inside:

Thanks for the PB legacy files.

I am able to get into multiplayer now but unable to get servers to list. I made sure it was on Internet setting. I have a good internet connection.

I read something about the servercache.dat file  Is this the problem?

If its the steam version, you probably need to replace the exe file with the older 1.7 build.

You only need the 1.6 and 1.7 patches to play cod 4. You also need them to see the server list.

See if it will let your over write them. If it doesn't that mean the patches you have installed are working properly.

Here are the patches:

Thank you for everyone's feedback and help. I changed the exe file as suggested and now the game works.

Now hopefully, with the new computer, my game play will be better........

Cheers!
