Hello,

--- quote ---
Is there still someone working on this?

Is it really known that checksums over files are generated? IMHO this would be
a pretty bad idea. As soon as Microsoft offers a security patch that touches
such files, you would be banned everywhere.

Is the "unknown API function" known? Is it possible to just use a native DLL
there?

Please read up the whole bug history.
Everything has been answered/explained a dozen times in detail.

In short: the major blocker are API entry signature checks and that is
something Wine can't fix.
Even Balance needs to drop this type of check.

Of course you can hack/circumvent PunkBuster but that's out of Wine's scope (no
I won't give any details).

Actually I don't see a point keeping this bug open forever - I tend for
WONTFIX.

Regards
