CoD4 and Win7 - it works!

gurusan · 23 May 2009 at 20:41

So....just in case any of you aren't aware....CoD4 and punkbuster are working fine on Win7 64bit...for me at least.

Using Build 7100.

Might be a good idea trying to run this first though:

So nice not to have to reboot in XP 64 to play CoD4!!

After reading this, I just had a quick flick through the PB twitter feed, and it says they've made it work with Win7 (unless Microsoft releases an update and screws it up).

about time ehh

Nice! I can finally reinstall win7.

What happens to the Win7 beta testers when the final version is released? Now CoD4 works I'm willing to give it a go

was nice to just get on it last night and have a game cheers

Awesome news. Does it work with 7077 as well?

Are all PB games fixed or just COD4?

sunderland · 24 May 2009 at 10:07

had a quick flick around the web and it looks like all punkbuster games are working now

KNiVES · 24 May 2009 at 11:16

That would be fantastic if it's true. Half my favourite games don't work.

RobH · 24 May 2009 at 11:19

7127 is also good to go for punkbuster too, there are also some DirectX tweaks in 7127 that fix some glitches in certain games.

KNiVES · 24 May 2009 at 11:22

Confirming that it definitely works in build 7000 too. America's Army and Crysis Warhead no longer kicks me.

Good to hear about this.

I just tried Wolf:ET briefly, still the same 'unknown windows api' error as before on Win 7 RC. This is after downloading the latest PB version for the game, and using the PB service installer beforehand aswell.

Cod, world at war also works. Using RC 7100.

Its in c:\users\you username\appdata\local\activision\codwaw\players

Jobe · 25 May 2009 at 19:14

sorry mate but it ain't there.
don't have appdata at all, or players which is what i'm looking for.
i already have a save in D:/ which is C:/ when in vista, where i normally play cod 5.
obviously in win 7 when i re loaded the game i started from scratch.
i wanna move the folder but it doesn't seem to have created one yet.
i have played only a little but have changed keyboard layout and gotten to create a class???
any more help?
