PunkBuster Note: If PunkBuster fails to initialize upon initial server launch of Call of Duty 2 Linux Patch 1.3 there are two ways to resolve. The first is to open the home location of Call of Duty 2 Linux. Ensure you can see hidden files and delete the folder named â€œ.callofdutyâ€. Now you can launch the Call of Duty 2 server with the parameter â€œ+set sv_punkbuster 1â€ (Ex. â€œ./cod2_lnxded +set sv_punkbuster 1â€).
If the above does not work, you can launch the server, but do not load a map (if you did launch a map, just enter â€œkillserverâ€ into the console and continue). Enter the following into the console; pb_sv_enable. Now launch a map, punkbuster should be working.
To test whether or not PunkBuster was initialized correctly, with the server launched (ie. Map running), enter â€œpb_sv_verâ€ into the console. If there is a returned value, PunkBuster has been successfully initialized.
