Hi Folks!



I think I figure this out by myself.


evenbalance.com doesn't tell us full file path but they just says pb/htm.

Then, lot of mac gamer think that kind folder is at application package folder.

But it doesn't. Here is what today I got.


If you got kick with waring about punkbuster and your os is OS X 10.7, go to this url http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php and download For "pbsec.htm" in PunkBuster (COD4) For players line at Security Files section.

And put that file in this folder.

~/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/pb/htm


Then punkbuster warning is gone.


Thanks!

Hmm. Thanks for report it. It's seems solved. Let me samarized tips.

f you got kick with waring about punkbuster and your os is OS X 10.7, go to this urlhttp://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php and download For "pbsec.htm" in PunkBuster (COD4) For players line at Security Files section.

And put that file in this folder.

~/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/pb/


And this:

Download following file as mc002301.mac but not mc002301.mac.txt.

http://web1.evenbalance.com/downloads/cod4/mc002301.mac

And then put it in below folder.

~/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/pb/dll


Then I can play without kick but still got some warning:

"PunkBuster Client:WARNING: PB Kicks for Non-standard Characters and Loked Names and Level 1 PB Restrictions on this Server"


Then I can play Team Death Much 20 min without kick.


I think this problem is solved.


Thanks,


Guzz out.

NOTICE: EVENBALANCE HAS POSTED A MAC UPDATE TODAY


It's not for a new Pbsetup but they have created a new mc002301.mac file that goes in teh pb/dll folder. Once that's there the problem goes away (for me at least). So, if you download the new HTM files and they don't work and your sec file continuously disappears after installing it, go to the main COD 4 page and read the May 18 update.

This has not worked for me or several others I've been conversing with running 10.7.4

First, the directory ~/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/ exists but there's nothing in it. I do have a pb directory in /Applications/Call of Duty 4/ and it contains an htm and dll directory.

I've updated both the pb/htm and pb/htm directories with the suggested files, added the pbsec.htm file, copied the entire pb directory to ~/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/ but the problem persists.

Thank you all.


I have OSX 10.7.4 and with this way works perfect for me:


Download

For PlayersFilename: pbsec.htm

PB Client v2.301 for Mac Filename: mc002301.htm

PB ClientA v1407 for Mac Filename: ma001407.htm


and put it in ~Applications/Call of Duty 4/Contents/Call of Duty 4 Data/pb/htm


And download: mc002301.mac

http://web1.evenbalance.com/downloads/cod4/mc002301.mac

And then put it in below folder.

~Applications/Call of Duty 4/Contents/Call of Duty 4 Data/pb/htm/dll


Works perfect!
