I had WAW loaded via a cd and have lost the cd...when it rains it pours. I plan on purchasing from Steam, my question is when I purchase from Steam does it come with PB, or will have to download PB also?? major-mark63 and Super Max 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS for PB go to www.evenbalance.com  Edited August 14, 2021 by Krackennutz loaderXI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect the dis on the pc there is always a way to connect power and data on the broken disk. Install https://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizardpro/ Try to get the pro version with key i think you know the way to find this Install is and then put on the broken drive run easeus program and let it run but be sure the drive has enough cooling. This can take a while (mine over the night) but i was getting 95% of the file back. Here is what happening if you have a 7200rpm drive it is getting hot i mean real hot so i made a cooler inside the pc on the hard-drive because most drives 7200rpm has heat problems now my drives stay on: Boot drive 29C = 84.2F Data drive 31C = 87.8F Don't forget to put on S.M.A.R.T. on in the bios I have also running Hard Disk Sentinal PRO that control my hard-disks Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding CODWAW specifically, our servers do not run PB so for here, not needed but can't say the same for other non-XI servers. As noted, PB is available in our download section. The latest PB software won't work since PB does not support this game any more so you need the files off our downloads if you do play elsewhere that has PB enabled.
