Profile Backup

[Crimson_Might]

How would one backup their profile before redoing Windows?

[Ice Man]

well just using vista you need to go to this location (hidden files need to be enabled)

 

C:\Users\*yourusenamehere*\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players

[Crimson_Might]

Is there any special way I need to import this?

[Ice Man]

not that I know of just like cod4

[RoadWarrior]

WaW doesn't use profiles the same way, and as yet, have not found a way to do it.

If using Windows XP see sample path below ('Show Hidden Files and folders' must be enabled to see the Application Data folder):

 

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles

Replace 'your_username' with the username used to log into your computer.

Can you just backup the players folder and put it back when you have completed reinstalling the game?

[EAS Kevlar]

should be able to do that. You could do that with cod4.

I didnt have a problem placing my beta profile on another computer. When I installed the game it loaded up my profiles (my usernames only, not my stats which were at 0). I just placed the info from on computer to the next with 0 problems.

 

again its just like cod4. You can make a profile backup (copy and paste somewhere) as long as you put it in the same spot.

again I would do it manually, you don't know whats in those programs (could be a key stealer)

Anyone have an idea how to backup profile in Windows 7?

Just started using it and need to add my XP backup.

[RoadWarrior]

Should be the same as Vista.

 

Simply head into your game's install folder, and save the players folder to a floppy, thumb-drive, your cell-phone, or what-ever medium of back-up you so desire. Then replace it once you've formatted.

+1 I agree

 

If you want to back up just copy & paste it to another location easy as!. its worked fine for me on a reinstall & if your doing an OS install put it on a external sorce then just put back in (C /username/ app data / local / Activison / CODWAW / players / profile (replace)[vista] {need to show hiden files & folders....-> in your folder options}
