the problem started a few days ago when i was getting kicked out of servers with some kind of punkbuster warning... so i updated to 1.7 and then couldn't find any servers in the list so i uninstalled cod4 today, tried again with no luck, i installed 1.6 with no luck and then finally downloaded 1.7 patch and still nothing!! ??:confused:

i played around with the filter and every other options and now i don't know what to do... any ideas?
 
You do have to occasionally manually update PB, like Andy has said. I don't know if this would stop you seeing any servers though, I'm on 1.7 and there are plenty of servers.
 
you dont find servers because noone plays this game anymore, my gues would be because its boring! :P

(sorry, just had to use the oppertunity to tease Korn here :P )
 
If pb was kicking you it is probable because its not being allowed to communicate with the internet, If you are seeing no servers in the internet list that also sounds like a firewall issue so i would check and make sure that PnkBstr A and PnkBstr b plus cod4 are being allowed through your firewall.
 
I didn't realise Punkbuster was needed for COD4 (I haven't touched it yet, it's sitting there begging me to play it). Isn't it optional for multiplayer games? I remember filter options for games saying "for players who use Punkbuster client". One would assume that to mean that you don't have to use it... or am I juts being crazy? :P

Try asking around COD4 poems, I remember when UT2007 came out, there were so many people crying out for tech support on UT forums that it wasn't funny (wasn't as bad when Halo 2 for Vista came out though, that was a shocker).

In my experience, keep mucking around until the problem solves itself.
Also, check your firewall to see if it's blocking anything. Try another computer if possible.
 
It is best to install punkbuster for the game to run properly if you want to play none pb servers you dont have to uninstall punkbuster.

Click to expand...
Oh right, thanks. I just didn't realise punkbuster was that popular, are there any particular advantages to using to client? (I am googling it btw but it's good to hear directly from users)
 
ok i just installed cod4 again, each time i installed the next patch i checked and there were no servers showing... so now im on 1.7 with no servers...
i tried disabling the windows firewall.. didnt help.

i went to the link above and updated PB.

what else can i try?

in game it has an autoupdate option...
says version installed 1.7
version available 1.7

i clicked yes anyway and it takes me to the 1.7 patch page... but ive already installed that patch.. what should i do?
 
ok i reinstalled again and am on 1.6 and 1600 servers show up... is that how many there are now on 1.6? im about to try 1.7 and see how it goes
 
nope i dont...

i also posted on cfclan.co.uk haha

after reinstalling yet again...
i now get around 1000-3000 servers...

which is no where near the amount i used to get..
but at least i get some haha
 
i guess not haha.

is it possible to change your name without losing all your levels?

like if you keep the mpdata file? would that work?
