CoD4 Punkbuster error

every single time I try to join a punkbuster server I get to play for like 10-20 seconds then I get this:



I'm not using a legit version of CoD4 but I'm not sure if that's the problem or not, do any of you know non-punkbuster promod servers or know of a fix to this problem? Thanks in advance

These kicks are when PunkBuster detects a modification of your game exe running in memory or you are using a modified client. Possible explanations are as follows:

1. A virus modified the game executable
2. A crack of some sort was applied to the game executable
3. You are using a non-standard version of the game (D2D/Steam etc.)

Please make sure you run the latest and original version of the game. Using no-cd cheats could be the cause of these kicks. Make sure you have installed the latest patches of your game.

Thanks, I should have said htis in the first post but I'm using the cracked version of it, the no-cd and stuff, I didn't buy a legit copy of CoD4 :\ and no, when PB detects it I just get kicked from the server and I can rejoin right away but I can't stay in it. I can play perfectly in non-pb servers though

That is because PB kicks for detected game cracks/modified game exe's.
You'll have to stick with non pb servers. =FF= has a few non pb servers for 1.7

Ah thanks, whats =FF=?

Probably a clan...go on a site where (cracked) servers are listed and search for =FF= in server name =P

Play on non PB servers...

Its easy
Fast
Modded lobbys

Some cheaters

This is caused by some non-important programs on your computer, you can fix this problem with CCcleaner

I always get this error when I'm trying to play with steam on.

I don't have steam installed so thats not the problem, I think its just because i'm using a cracked version of CoD4, and punkbuster can't read its normal files

i might sound stupid but..

have you tried updating your pb?
