so after that eccounter i needed to come play bc2 for about 45 minutes and flush the whole exsperience out of my system

I agree it is just MW2 all over again in my mind. Less perks,
but same people and same lameness ! My son says I don't
play it enough. Well I don't want too, I don't like it. Even
the night I smoked everyone in a round I didn't like it. I like
MOH better and I love BFBC2. Just my opinion of course, and
that is the one counts to me. I'd sell it if I could, but of course
now it's tied to my Steam account.

COD4 & Punkbuster headaches

I swear, I am close to tracking down the cu*t who invented punkbuster and busting his punk right about now :banghead:

So bought MW1 as it was £9.99 on steam t'other day :rockout:

and I can't fricken get PB working at all, heres the deal:

Installed MW1 in Steam, fire it up ut tells me PB is unable to initialize.
Downloaded PB client, added COD4 game and it tells me client isn't installed :wtf:

Have downloaded some HTM files to COD4 PB folder as advised by teh interwebs to no avail.
Downloaded multiple versions of PB and ran COD4 and get the same BS

WTF gives, I am getting stressed trying to get this working and the mrs is gonna get it soon if it carries on cause she is going to ask me soon why I keep screwing at my PC (again) and then I will get all gung ho on her ass and take it out on her, so please, help my GF and get PB working for me.

BTW, I have made sure the service is started in admin tools>services...

And sorry this is a bit of a rant, I am normally quite composed in my posting but I am beggining to lose my rag with this f**king piece of shit DRM

Lmao, saw this and was like :rockout:

read the rest and was like :banghead:

haha

Just bloody annoying as I can only play in non PB servers, 1: there isn't as many and 2: could be full of cheats, am bad enough as it is without someone cheating lol

EastCoasthandle · Dec 2, 2010

did you run both pbsetup.exe and pbsvc.exe

NdMk2o1o · Dec 2, 2010

EastCoasthandle said:

Well no need to run pbsvc.exe as its in services.msc and enabled at startup, and I also downloaded pbsetup.exe, would this require a reboot? I haven't done one yet but tbh didn't really think one was called for and too lazy to reboot lol

EastCoasthandle · Dec 2, 2010

The only other thing I could suggest in your case is to make sure the game is up to date. Not sure how that would work with Steam because you need to check which version they gave you.

Well I immediately thought this but there is no option to update the game, so my initial thoughts are that I have the latest/up-to-date patches etc :confused:

EastCoasthandle · Dec 2, 2010

Is "PB is unable to initialize" error the latest problem or something else?

Thats what I get when I start COD4 :confused:

Gotcha, what version of the game do you have? Oh and make sure you disable all PB process from task manager before installing it for COD4.

A 5970 is over kill for a COD title.

ZakkWylde · Dec 7, 2010

So as of now, buy/don't buy? Has it been successfully patched?

Animalpak · Dec 7, 2010

I just stopped playing because its missing something, or somethings off. I cant put my finger on it.

Bo$$ · Dec 13, 2010

i wonder how my system will handle this? SLI any good?

HammerON · Dec 14, 2010

Runs really good with two GTX 470's in SLI~

i mean is there any benefits of using SLI in this game?

edit: basically does SLI work?

HammerON · Dec 14, 2010

It works fine for me as I see improvement in framerates with all the eye candy versus using just a single 470 :toast:
