Player Profile, Version, & Server Question

Deutch · #1 09-02-2008, 03:30 AM

I just bought the game a few days ago. I purchased version 1.6.625, and then updated to 1.7.628. The game has gotten a little sketchy with servers, I'm not able to see anything at all sometimes, and other times I don't get any games under about a 250-ish rate (mine ping typically reads at 90's).

Not sure what the deal is, but I'm curious..... can I remove the game, and reload it with my data being saved? I've read a bit about it being saved on servers, but I'm not sure if that's happening yet with these versions. In earlier versions, they tell you the folder in which the player profile is saved, but I don't have that drive in my folders at all. Any help? Thanks much

Sorry, forgot to mention it's for PC.

Make a backup of your profile folder (it's in [your COD 4 folder]/players/profiles), reinstall the game and copy the backup into the correct place again.
There is no information saved on the game servers, everything is stored on your PC. That's why you would lose your progress if you didn't make a backup of your profile.

I think you have three options

Insert the Cod4 CD (if you have retail version). Open the CD like when you installed the game. There should be an uninstalloption there. Make sure you keep the MPdata and controls saved. It will ask you if you want to keep them so click yes. Delet all the rest. Then restart the PC. Now reinstall the game. (Could be that you have to open the reinstall manually, I had to do this. Not trough the CD autorun, but open the CD with Explorer and search for the setup.exe)
Try deleting everything with the programmanager. Press the Windowslogo in the bottom left corner, open control panel, open programs and software, open programmanager, look for COD4 and the uninstall will start running. Same here for the MPdata and controls.
Look for the folder C:\Program Files\Activision\Call Of Duty 4 You can manually delete this folder. Be sure to backup the folder C:\Program Files\Activision\Call Of Duty 4\Players\Profile this contains your Multiplayer stats. I don't know if this will install everything that needs to be uninstalled. So try the first two first. Then reinstall the game and copy the backup in to the new COD4 folder

Now reinstall Punkbuster
