=================================================

This is for all punkbuster enabled servers. For newcomers, Punkbuster is anti-cheat software in case you're wondering why servers have it enabled.

If you all are wondering why come here instead of the going to the main punkbuster site, as of the end of 2013, punkbuster support has been dropped for CoD4 and CoDWaW and is not on the list at their site. Just follow the simple guide below.

If you haven't had any problems with punkbuster, then you are fine. Don't change anything.



Video Demonstration For Manual Install by thefreezy96
CoDWaW: http://www.mediafire.com/download/sdifopf7v91bc9p/codwaw_win32.zip 




First, download and run THIS FILE. It will install the main Punkbuster. If you already have Punkbuster (it installs with CoDWaW already), then skip this part and go to the next.

Next, download the CoDWaW or CoD4 specific files below and copy them to the required folder explained in the download. Alternatively, you can download the WaW installer versions at the bottom of the page (for Steam or Retail CD) and just double click and they will put the files where they should go. Don't have the game running while installing.


Don't download a file called PBSETUP for this game as it doesn't have the CoDWaW/CoD4 tab there anymore and may cause crashes. Only download the file above and the file below.

EXTRA INFO FOR MANUAL INSTALL: Some people may be doing this wrong.
The /pb folder inside the pack downloaded here goes into your main Call Of Duty World At War folder. It should look like "Call Of Duty World At War/pb" not "Call Of Duty World At War/pb/pb"


Retail (Disc) Version:

"X:\Program Files\Activision\Call Of Duty World At War\pb"


Steam Version:

32-Bit - "X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Call Of Duty World At War\pb"
64-Bit - "X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call Of Duty World At War\pb"

Well I gave you early rep+ for this, even though we don't know if it works yet. Thank you for posting this informative help. It can help others with this problem. You're the man, Pein. Keep it up!


Edit: To check for problems even when you've updated PB, download . This will tell you if your files work properly or not.

Since the new components have been installed, I now get kicked from PunkBuster servers for "handshaking failed" or "Losing Key Packets", how can I fix that?

Some other software programs such as virus scanners, firewalls and Internet security software packages are suspicious of any new services and kernel drivers when they are first released. Some of these will block our new components thereby causing the "Losing Key Packets" kicking. Until these various packages are updated to correctly identify PnkBstrA.exe, PnkBstrB.exe, and PnkBstrK.sys as components of the PunkBuster Anti-Cheat System, players who experience PunkBuster kicks due to these conflicts need to either manually adjust the settings of the other software running on their system or disable the other software while playing on PunkBuster enabled servers. The new PunkBuster components make use of network resources and also frequently update files in the Windows system folders. This activity triggers warnings or blocks by some other security programs, some of which consider all unknown programs as threats or malware. Our new components are simply extensions of the existing PunkBuster system using new services and kernel software drivers, and are each signed with Verisign / Authenticode digital signatures for verifiable authenticity purposes. Most major security packages do not block our new components; users with other software that causes these conflicts should contact the vendor of their security package and request an update to correct this conflict.

Why is all this necessary?

Starting with Windows Vista, there is a greater focus on security (which is a good thing). Unfortunately, however, with this focus comes a bit of complexity. In order for games having PunkBuster integrated to be more secure, the part of PunkBuster that needs full access to the computer for scanning purposes now must run all the time at the system level. This is necessary due to new Microsoft requirements for gaming under Windows.

For those getting kicked from CoDWaW with Punkbuster Failure, it's because it needs to be updated to it's final version. You can do that through the second and first posts above.

If you have used the same name you have used here, then I haven't blocked you at all. I've seen one person recently that didn't have your name add me to Xfire and talk in gibberish for a while and I asked if he/she had something to say and he said "Why you banned me?" and went offline. I haven't seen he/she since. I doubt that was you under another name "miksaleks". I've been waiting for your response here ever since I posted last.

Now, you can find me on Xfire and if you use any other names, tell me here. If you get me a screenshot of the problem with Xfire, that would also be helpful. If you don't do any of these things, how can I help you?

You don't need any permission. Just download. They are for everyone.

Edit: There may have been an error with the download. Try now.
