I had thought I could simply load Steam, log in as usual and install COD4 since I already own it. So far, everything went according to plan but two things have happened: 1) any of the XI servers I usually play on (Deathmatch, DM2 or Ace Mod) don't show up in my server list 2) my Punkbuster says it won't initialize and it's disabled. Are the two related? BlackRose 1

Check this topic out: https://www.xtremeidiots.com/forums/topic/77574-18-to-17-from-steam-reversal-patch/#comment-833416 As for punkbuster, don't believe PB is activated on COD4 so not sure if this related. Maybe someone else will have an answer for that. piglo 1 Awards

You can open the game console & manually enter the ip to join. Edited December 28, 2023 by Timmah! Majbasil 1 Awards

NVM, updated COD4x and servers show without needing to hit refresh Edited January 2, 2024 by srt4fun Awards
