February 7th, 2020

When I try to join a cracked server in Call of Duty 4 – 1.4, I get this error message:

This happens with all the cracked servers I have now.
Is there any way possible to fix it? or at least so that I can play

Answer #1
Like the message says: You’ve got a global ban from PB. Which means it is permanent. Assuming you’ve bought the game with an official key: Can you join normal servers? If not, contact PunkBuster and/or Activision to undo your ban! If yes, play only in normal servers.
If you are playing with a cracked game (which I think), don’t even bother contacting them… Cuz why would you play on cracked servers, if you can play on normal ones…
Answer #2
omg what can u say server is down …
Answer #3
I got the cracked version, I got a working CD key but PB says I got a ban, maybe changing my CD key would work?
Answer #4
Ow though luck. You could try another key. But I don’t think it will help, because it is a global ban. It is probably connected to your hardwareconfig and/or IP. I could be wrong, but you can always try another key.
Answer #5
Try another key and another screen name with a different email address.
Answer #6
gonna get an ip-cloaker and i already got 5 emails
EDIT: changed the CD key, still banned
Isn’t there any way to bypass or fool PunkBuster? If there isn’t then can someone give me the ip of a non-pb server
Answer #7
No you’re Hardware banned I think, get a new PC BUY the game then play.

Answer #11
still trying to figure it out, can’t find CoD 4 anywhere :/
Answer #12
What do you need? A keygen/serial?
Answer #13
He is hardware banned! Hes banned on every game protected by PunkBuster I think.
Answer #14
It’s a GUID ban, I reformatted yesterday, and now I’m even afraid to crack CoD :/

very unlucky.
Answer #17
Ultimately, there will be a way to bypass PunkBuster. Only thing for me to do now is to wait until someone is actually gonna crack it.
Answer #18
punkbuster banned the cdkeys mostlikely because some1 who was using them was cheating or they did it because they were made public but punkbuster normaly dosnt do it coz they are public, its the gamecomanys who do that. you just need to find a unbanned key
Answer #19
thanks for the tip, maybe i’ll buy the game and use that cd-key
Answer #20
i got an idea to fix it. help support your favorite game by purchasing it. i own the game on ps3, its amazing. Anymore, you cant depend solely
on cracked games. Maybe movies, but not games. The only game that never failed me, was gta_sa, it was awsome, but i quit. =)
