Profiles

jonski

Right , I bought COD4 through Steam ,(well actually I didn't , the clan bought it for me god bless them , cause they couldn't be arsed waiting until after christmas for me to have the spare cash ) . I created my profile and my son created one as well and we both played away . Now a friend of mine who also bought it has decided that he will never play it online ( pffff...got too old too fast ) so he has given it to my son . I installed it on his pc but I cannot get it to recognise his old profile . Having said that all I did was copy over the profile into the same directory .

Anyone have any idea how to do this ?

I had to do this too, although I copied over the whole players folder as I only had one profile anyway. When I copied it over first it didn't work so I just re-copied it again and it worked for some reason (:rolleyes:).

Maybe it might have something to do with the active text file (doubt it tho).

Once you go into the players and then to the profile folder there should be a txt file called active. If it is there you need to put the name of the profile you switched over into it. If it is not there then you need to create a notepad file , put the name of your profile in it. When you go to save it select all file types and call it active.txt then put that file into the general profile folder ( not the specific profile your son was using. it should be in "rogram Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles" alongside your sons profile).
