--- Comment #180 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2011-12-21 15:58:18 CST --- Hello,
--- quote --- Is there still someone working on this?
Is it really known that checksums over files are generated? IMHO this would be a pretty bad idea. As soon as Microsoft offers a security patch that touches such files, you would be banned everywhere.
Is the "unknown API function" known? Is it possible to just use a native DLL there? --- quote ---
Please read up the whole bug history. Everything has been answered/explained a dozen times in detail.
In short: the major blocker are API entry signature checks and that is something Wine can't fix. Even Balance needs to drop this type of check.
Of course you can hack/circumvent PunkBuster but that's out of Wine's scope (no I won't give any details).
Actually I don't see a point keeping this bug open forever - I tend for WONTFIX.
Regards
