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

[bahia]

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..

same here punkbuster just kicked me every time. (windows 7 6801 64 bit) windows 7 probably has some new api that pb isn't aware of or something...

[Owen W Veteran]

Exactly. I'd reccomend using a OS that has RTM'd for anything like this - or to wait for a version that has at least hit RC status.

[bahia]

I have Vista Home Premium on other partition and there it works fine.

The problem is that i like so much of my Windows 7 that i don?t want to use Vista anymore:) .

[bahia]

Any sugestion?

[Mathachew Veteran]

Yeah, use a finalized OS.

[Vykranth]

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.

I am able to get Crysis Wars working which uses PB too.. maybe you just need a newer version of the PB Client.

As mentioned earlier, try using a stable OS.

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...

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...

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.

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!
