Re: COD:WAW Punkbuster Issues
Hi Hilton1588, I have had the same issue as yourself, and at last I believe have found a workaround!
The exact error I had was...
---------------------------------
NOTICE:
W1NST0N Punkbuster kicked player W1NST0N (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe driver failure: (PnkBstrK.sys) ffab
---------------------------------
Resolution:
I have copied the Call Of Duty World at War 'PnkBstrK.sys' component into the 'C:\Windows\System32' folder; this allows me to join PB enabled games without being kicked.
I don't know why this should be, as it is *meant* to be placed in the 'C:\Windows\ystem32\Drivers' folder so far as I am aware, however when it is moved back in that directory, I start getting kicked once again.
As this workaround is a manual temporary *fix*, it may well be undone the next time the client is automatically updated. To this end I have attached zipped batch file that copies the required file to the *working* location. It can be easily re-ran, should the file be updated by PB.
Simply extract the zip file to your 'Call Of Duty World at War' install folder and double click the file named 'CoD-WaW_Connection_Failure_Fix.bat'.
FYI:
Without removing the Call Of Duty World at War version of 'PnkBstrK.sys' from 'C:\Windows\System32', I tried Call of Duty 4, which connected to the server successfully, and did not get disconnected.
I hope this works for you too,
W1NST0N
