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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
