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!

and that

is

not

going to happen

for a pre beta

operating system.

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!

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
