I had not re-installed my COD4 on the new machine and when I did, I could not play because "Punkbuster" kept kicking me for an authentication issue. When I tried to update with PBsetup, the game is not listed. I then went ahead and purchased a copy off of Steam, thinking it was could be an issue with my other version and to ensure I had all of the patches. I got the same issue with Punkbuster and got this error message:
So I contacted Evenbalance and submitted a support ticket. Here is that ticket info:
Kicked for PB INIT FAILURE or This PB Server Requires (A1407 C2.318)
The pbsetup does not have COD4 listed to allow manual update.
GAME PRODUCT NOT LISTED BELOW _ USED BATTLEFIELD 2!!!!!!!!!!!
Note #2: Purchased COD4 from Steam and when punkbuster attempts to install, get the following error as an integrity check.

Their response was this:
Hello,
I'm sorry, but Even Balance is no longer supporting PunkBuster for Call of Duty 4. You will need to contact Activision directly for support regarding PunkBuster.

Thank you.
I went to Activision to try to find the issue and their only way of adding a support ticket is by choosing the platform (PC) and then choose the game. Of Course they do not have COD4 listed as a choice.
