Call of Duty 4 on Windows 7, is anyone being abble to play?


Recommended Posts

Hello i have the pre beta version of windows 7 running and i decided to play COD 4 on it, but i am having dificulties, punkbuster keeps kicking me out of the servers, normally it is 3 codes, it says kicked by unknown windows API funtion 131134, 131134 and 131136, i don?t know what to do, when i deactivate PB it works fine butwith that i will not have a lot of choice in servers.

I tried uninstalling the game, running antivirus and Windows defender, also i turned all the software for not working in compability mode as i saw in some forums. None of this worked. I also logged a ticket in the PB site but they don?t give support to this version of Windows 7.

BTW is anyone playing in Windows 7?

Thanks

Daniel

Um....why?

Windows 7 is a pre-beta....it probably doesn't evebeginb> to contain all the API's to do ANY of this.

This is why they don't like to pre-release things.

Do you have Windows Vista installed too? You could use that..

You're basically out of luck: PunkBuster tries to check various places in the Windows DLLs to verify that there is no 'modifications' in your Windows DLLs.

These checks are very precise and very sensitive to the version of the OS.

That will be solved when the PunkBuster software will be updated to support Windows 7 but there is very very very very little chance that PB will be updated to work with an alpha snapshot of Windows 7.

I am running windows 7, same version 64 bit. I can't even seem to get CoD4 to load... everything else works like a charm though.

Any ideas???

It says the application failed to initialize properly.

As mentioned earlier, try using a stable OS.

Stop using Windows 7! Wait until the beta comes out to start torturing it with games!

Gosh, pre-beta and already subduing it to playing CoD4...

that exactly what i said few week ago and now it happened !

just wait till they start to bush a pre-beta of windows and till us it is ME III

These pricks have diminished the purpose of a pre-beta... it's for testing purposes, not playing games. If you said, "I want to see CoD4 works on Windows 7" that would be a moderately adequate reason for doing so, but saying "I want to play CoD4 on Windows 7" is like making a baby work. Point is, it's not prepared for Windows 7, not yet, so stick to Windows Vista until then.

So many wise people...

If we wanted to use a "stable"OS we could be using our "Stable" versions of Vista, get out of here if you are not going to help troll...

Wink :)

Oh my god.

there is NO WAY IT WILL WORK UNLESS EVENBALANCE UPDATES PUNKBUSTER TO SUPPORT WIN7!

is

Stop acting like a little brat.

The purpose of the PDC builds of Windows 7 is for the software developers to start making drivers and applications. Not for little kids playing games.

I'm quite glad some people understand this!

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
