--- Comment #187 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com 2012-01-08 11:19:04 CST --- (In reply to comment #180) Agreed, WONTFIX.
A quick repeat as summary before further comments sprout up: - Fixing this issue with PunkBuster properly is apparently impossible. The checks done by the app are extreme (checksums and the like). To me that sounds too extreme even for genuine Windows. - As Stefan has explained, other DRM issues have been fixed by improving/implementing further Windows compatibility. There are no hacks or circumventions. - The real issue is with PunkBuster itself. Contact EvenBalance about it. They have said they won't implement workarounds for Wine and Friends, but they still could replace those harsh checksums by something that can actually be implemented.
