I'm hoping our members with post in here their pb fixes.

What has worked for me and several other people is a pb folder swap:

If your having issues with pb you can replace your pb folder with the one I have. I tried this with others and it fixed their issue.  CLICK HERE FOR FILE
backup your current pb folder in case there is an issue. (You can do this by simply renaming the pb folder in your call of duty directory ex ...pb2) Extract the above zip file in your call of duty directory. This should fix your issue.

One problem plaguing us is that CoD and Punkbuster install differently based on what operating system and whether you are using older or newer install media.  I have 3 different computers running CoD:UO and the files are different on all three.  My method is similar to Sarge's except that I use a Punkbuster install file from Evenbalance to install Punkbuster rather than hoping Call of Duty will do it on it's own properly.

I get the pbsvc.exe file from Evenbalance.com by clicking on the SUPPORT tab at the center top of that page and then clicking on PB SERVICES FAQ on the following page.  In the first paragraph the word "here" is a hyperlink that downloads the file needed. Click on it and run it. The file is attacked to this post.

Once it has completed, PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrK.sys need to be copied from a working install or the files Sarge linked to above, to the pb directory within the Call of Duty install (usually under Program Files(x86)\Call of Duty\pb).  Also, wa001362.dll and wc002165.dll need to be copied to the pb/dll directory.  Finally, wa001362.htm and wc002165.htm need to be put in the pb/htm directory.  

I'm not sure I would recommend a folder swap because there maybe other Punkbuster versions in the players original folder that are not in Sarge's that they need on a specific server.

I did a quick install earlier today and here is a video.

CLICK HERE====> PUNKBUSTER INSTALL

If your install doesn't work as it should after you copy the files look in the following locations also:
1. C:\Users\<your>\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\COD\pb
2. C:\Users\<your>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty\pb
3. C:\Users\<your>\AppData\Local\Activision\Call of Duty\pb
or something similar.  Copy the files to the location on your machine.

If you upgrade to Windows 10 and you get kicked for a Punkbuster related issue, run the pbsvc.exe file referred to earlier it should then work fine.Last edited by Pistazien on Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:59 pm; edited 4 times in total

hey all


try all other fixes 1st before using these files:

1: download the attached file  
click on the text ^


2: remove / delete the corrupt file on your system from this location:

  my computer / local disc C / program files / call of duty / pb

3: unzip / extract the new downloaded pb file:

4: open the extracted file and copy the entire pb folder and paste it in this location:
 
  my computer / local disc C / program files / call of duty

  *when you extract / unzip the download file there will be another file inside DO NOT open the      second pb file inside the extracted file just cut and paste.

5: close everything and restart your game your pb should be good to go after that.

hope this helps

Evenbalance has rearranged their website and now the "pbsvc.exe" file is listed on the DOWNLOADS page.

I have a link to the pbsvc.exe file that helps .....at least this fixed Slayer's issue when he kept getting dropped by punkbuster I sent him this file and it fixed his issue. Just run it and it checks your pb install and fixes issues......like handshake and other connection issues. 
http://downloads.fssquaduo.com/coduo/pbsvc.exe
Note this is the same file as Pist's , just an exe instead of zipped and it's to be used as an alt link incase the one in the forums doesn't allow unregistered users to download the file from the server.
Please refer to Pist's post above for details about the file and it's use.Last edited by FS_Sarge on Fri Jan 08, 2016 4:34 am; edited 1 time in total

Sarge, I guess we don't need this topic here if no one reads it!

That PB file is in the second post in this topic.

Not sure what you mean, Pist.  All 5 of us who come here to the forums have read this.

Then why does Sarge have to send Slayer the file?

I was just posting an alt download location incase the upload on the forums messes up (seen it happen in the past) Slayer and I were on Skype trying to fix his issue that one night. I forgot the name of the file and didn't put two and two together (it was late and I was tired). But I knew I had the file in FS downloads and had him try that file. I didn't realize the name until I seen the name of the zip file in your post and put up an alt link that way if one isn't working hopefully the other one will work (crossing fingers)
