Hi all:

I had to reformat my hard drive and downloaded COD4 from steam.  I found and replaced the iw3mp.exe from version 1.8 to 1.7 but I can't find out out to add punkbuster to my folders.  I saw an old video on the forums but it referred to a "download" section on this site and I don't see that any more.  And the links referencing the punkbuster legacy either don't work or I don't have access.

Can anyone help?

thanks.

Cotton

Thanks Loader and Hunter.  I downloaded the on that Loader sent and get the following error.  Not sure where to go from here.

It says Error #011 The update attempt failed because file on evenbalance downloads cod4/pbsecsv.thm is missing on the update servers.

I am mostly sure that the old method of using the older installer with cod4 as an option no longer works because the necessary files to install the services and such are no longer there. So the installer quits without doing anything. But that was a few months ago.

I'm on Steam and it worked for me before.  But just had to do a fresh install.  I downloaded cod4 from Steam, replaces iw3 with the one on here but have that error when I try to install punkbuster legacy that loader sent.  So at a loss at the moment.

I have the files that can just be dropped into the PB folder after the old ones are deleted, I can send you the link to my one drive, but I have to have an email to send it to.  I feel like I should make a step by step instruction sheet on how to replace the needed files.

Can you perhaps make a zipfile with a read me in it for instructions...If not share the link with me as well with your instructions and I will make one and upload to our download section

Thanks all.  I was able to get it working.  I had to reinstall cod4 from steam and then replaced it all with the old cod folder I found.  I had to change out the iw3mp but the folder had the pb files and the maps.  I also had a problem that it would start the MP version and then stop but that was fixed by putting in my head set.  Big shout out to @Cylon and @loaderXI for the help.

I do think it would be helpful if we had a place we could download the ver 7 of the iw3mp.exe file as well as the legacy pb incase someone has to do a complete new download.  Also should make a note about the sound card that can stop the program from opening which is a old and known issue.

thanks again and will see you in game soon.

No problem at all, I plan on putting a guide together and providing the files needed.  I'll have it ready in a day or two.  I'll let you know when I have everything ready @loaderXI.  Let me know if you run into anything else Cotton. =)

@Cotton We do have the needed iw3mp and if what you are saying is you just dropped the PB files in then perhaps we can do a upload in the download of said files 

Here is the link for the iw3mp...I put that there in 2015

You remind me that I need to do the same for COD2 which I am hoping one day will be a thing again.  CTF was a blast back in the day.
