addsz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Hello gamers, Yesterday I reinstalled COD4 as the DVD box has been laying on my desk for ages. I bought the game in 2008 original from a shop and have the reciept and original DVD cover and key etc. I noticed after updating PB and the game i was still getting kicked off, which was very weird. I then came to the conclusion that my PB GUID has been banned from serveral servers, wondering how i started a search which led me to this link. PBBans Ban Link: http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-2e9453ef-vb169310.html EDIT: I do not even live in Germany, I live in the Netherlansd and the game is purchased in the Netherlands! Could someone tell me how another player could have gotten the same GUID as me? Is the GUID based on the CD key? What should i do? I wish to play the game like it was payed for. Thanks, Adam Edited November 17, 2010 by addsz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There is nothing you can do. Your CD-Key is leaked. You will have to buy a new game. New CD-Key = New PB GUID. You may also want to consider doing a virus scan of your pc because there might be a key logger on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addsz Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) So you want to tell me that a €60,- game is now useless because somebody used a generator that luckily for him produced my key? I have the original, reciept, creditcard details and everything. I do not live in Germany. Can I not contact Activision to get a new key? By the way, my computer is and has been clean all the time.

Kolor Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 No, the likely hood of your CD being created by a true key gen is highly unlikely. What is far more likely is that at some point in time, your system has been infected with malware that has retrieved the CD key from your registry and was then either sold or used by a cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobbo Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I do feel for you here - I have a similar situation where I purchsed a 2nd hand copy in good faith - the previous user downlaoded a hack then a must of been banned - sold me the disc (me buying in good faith), with bans on many servers - found a server I liked - OK for 9 months then this month banned me - I purchased a new Disc thinking OK - Ban still stood - appealed to PB as could prove both discs were purhased by me AFTER the ban date, but |PB have denied my appeal - Unbelievable. I know this doesnt help you but atleast you know you are not alone with the injustice of it! Will let you know if I find away to lift theban - good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know if I find away to lift theban - good luck your case that game disc has been sold more times than anyone can count. second hand is almost always a burnt (banned) key how do you expect the ban to be lifted just because you were too cheap to buy a legit copy? your "new/legit" copy is not banned if it is "new/legit" Edited November 25, 2010 by HSMagnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=GoMg=THE__DRIFTER Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Based on the after a ban statement I would more likely think that someone has been downloading "skill". Looks like to me that what ever raised the ban in the first place was still present after the new game was bought and installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxter Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Please Help! I am 28 years old, and already five years old I play COD4 use the original CD-KEY with GUID 45c5198e please help me, the cd key I got from a friend from my clan, so that shortly before the 10 minutes I learned that my guid banned. Is there some possibility that the global PB ban somehow removed from my GUID, and not to change my cd key. In my country, the original key is purchased and is very expensive. I'm no chiter, I'm a married man and you can check on vvvvvv.gamenet.hr Let me mention my guid a bann only to streaming servers. Thank in advance! Sincerely!

SuperTaz Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Baster, your GUID is Globally Banned by Evenbalance and it is also a leaked key. You will have to buy a new game in order to play cod4. http://www.pbbans.com/global-punkbuster-ban.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do certainly not abused! As for the original, in my country costs 100 euros. As for my suffering, I receive 190 euro salary, and the apartment where she lives with her husband pay 130 euros a month, so this will go a little harder than you think.

SuperTaz Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The CD-Key has been used in over 5 countries. It is a leaked key and that could possibly be the reason why EB globally banned it. Make sure you do not have and virus', trojans or keyloggers as they steal game info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, the day before I play on the server where I play CTF always, you can check the gamenet.hr And just as usual, gathered a team of TS3 and start playing CTF and when entering the COD4 server I only write disconekt server, to my friend on the announcement that the global bann Edited March 2, 2011 by baxter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 when did you purchase the game? that GUID was first seen Dec 17, 2007 at 3:41 pm on a streaming server there have been over 400 aliases and over 500 IPs with a handful of different countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxter Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 so? the GUID/cd-key is banned, not your name search by 45c5198e and CoD4. you will find the violations Office is, I know that the injury caused cd key. But talking about how it did not do me! Yes I have any chance misused key, the bann list to find my name, I think I agree with it, and by chance this cd key was on the CB. So it is not clear that a fool would destroy the original cd key, it should be banned from the computer until further notice, until the end of life must not play any online game!
