go to program files/ activision / codww and see if there is a players folder in there...

Dom Estos from what im seeing your pc is still not showing you the hidden files/folders in your app data folder it should be there somewhere

I'm showing everything inc hidden system files! I've searched for the files and they are not there. there is no players folder anywhere in the pogram files.

Guess I'll have to start again if I can be bothered
