Ice Man Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadWarrior Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 WaW doesn't use profiles the same way, and as yet, have not found a way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlintime Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 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.

Crimson_Might Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Can you just backup the players folder and put it back when you have completed reinstalling the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAS Kevlar Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 should be able to do that. You could do that with cod4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 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. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 http://files.filefront.com/COD5+profile+ba...;/fileinfo.html again I would do it manually, you don't know whats in those programs (could be a key stealer) -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbnutts Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Anyone have an idea how to backup profile in Windows 7? Just started using it and need to add my XP backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbouk1977 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) again I would do it manually, you don't know whats in those programs (could be a key stealer) -Dan +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} Edited April 12, 2009 by jimbouk1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
