Hi there so recently formatted and installed CoD4 once again, but as I join servers I get FPS spikes for the first 2 mins (approx) but then works all fine and smooth from there on.
I hadnt played the game for a while so drivers had been updated, but to try and fix the issue I took everything back to the drivers it was previously working perfectly on, & still no luck. Does anyone know what may be happening here?

Thanks
Chris

Edit: Forgot to mention that other games work fine.

I got a feeling its PunkBuster performing checks as I enter servers which causes FPS spikes, such a load of balls. But the spikes still occur in non-PB servers :S
Does anyone know if MW2 will be using PB?

Oh good so im not alone, well Ive worked out it is in fact PB. I needed to disable PB in the game menu before joining non-PB servers and then no spikes would occur. Going to do some Googling around today but tbh Ive had so many issues with PB and CoD4 in the past I feel like giving up and waiting for MW2.

(Little do I know MW2 will be the same) :(
