It certainly is in their best interest to do so. My personal hope is that MS makes the needed changes to make its COMPATIBILITY SELECTIONS work as one would expect as they have stated - should be compatible with the majority of NEW games.
This was the whole point here in bringing up the disparity between XP-SP3 operation, and Win7 operation with XP-SP3 mode selected to run the game. The fact that COD4 with Punkbuster works perfectly under XP-SP3 as its op system, says that the compatibility selection the user makes IS NOT FUNCTIONAL to the extent necessary to be NEW game friendly.
Download the files above and place them in your COD4's PB folder: C : > Program Files x86 > Activision > COD4 > PB. In this case, COD4 is a newer game, a VERY popular one, that DOES NOT RUN under the XP-SP3 compatibility mode (as selected by the user) as one would expect it to, based on MS commentary. Thanks to activision, you must update punkbuster manually to play on servers with pb enabled, some of our servers have pb enabled. At =F|A= we are all players first and then admins when someone needs our help or support on server.Hello All - the core reason I started this thread, aside from the obvious failure of Punkbuster to be compatible with Win7 RC, was that MS advertises and includes a COMPATIBILITY capability which, they state, should provide compatibility with NEWER programs. If you want to have fun and want to make new friends join up our gaming servers and our VoIP servers any day and at any time. It does mean that if you reinstall then the standard PBSetup will be unable to download and setup the files for you. This does not mean we will be removing Punkbuster - it is still a viable admin tool which provides us with many methods of protecting our servers.
