still have problems with punkbuster. I am trying to play COD2. Single player
works perfect! Multiplayer work too perfect if we remove PB problems :(

I have tryed to update pb with pbsetup.exe and pbsetup.run and both together..

As said before, due to the API checks done by Punkbuster, using Wine and
playing on any server with PB enabled is pretty much always a no go.

If I've understood everything correctly, making Wine return the "correct"
values for every API check would be pretty much impossible, using native only
native Windows files won't work, and Even Balance (makers of PB) don't seem
that interested in implementing a solution just for the Wine API.

Would be nice with some ideas on possible ways to proceed though, since this
does affect a lot of titles.
