    Back up your Player Profiles !!!

    As our friend Robot found out, all your player stats are saved on YOUR local hard-drive,,,

    Immediately save a copy of your player profile data, so in case something happens and your file gets corrupted, you can recopy the backup and save your stats and rank..

    If you run XP then the profiles are stored in:
    C:\program files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warefare\players

    If you run Vista (and use UAC) they are stored in the vista virtual store

    For Steam users, the profiles are stored in:
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty 4\players\profiles\

    I have been reading some articles about this but if you plan to reformat, Uninstall the game or with robot's patching experience.... Unless you don't care I would suggest doing so.

      Yup, I won't be making that same mistake again.

      For Steam users, the profiles are stored in:

            FYI In case you are using Vista and have UAC turned off you can find the Players folder using the advanced search option.

              OK, so I just got a new laptop for Christmas and just installed CoD4 and I'm trying to transfer my profile over to my new computer. The problem is my old computer runs Windows XP and this new laptop runs Vista.

              I found the file just fine on my old PC with XP, but when I went to transfer this to my laptop the CoD4 file doesn't have the same file for "profiles" like XP had.

              I've never used Vista before so I'm still really new to it, any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong and how to transfer my profile?

                Have you played a round on vista yet? it could be possible you have to play a round in order to get the profiles folder created. Otherwise i would create the folders and paste the data in.

                  Yup, that fixed it!

                  Just had to finish a round before the folder appeared.

                  Thanks for the help!

                      I never transfered my profile from XP to XP, however, I think it should work similarly.

                      No clue what to do about it not updating the multilayer stats, thats weird 0_o

                        Ok. I saved my profile and placed it into my new COD4 install. It worked for the first day but now it doesn't recognize my profile. I even replaced my profile again and it still wont recognize it. Any suggestions?

                          I think it was a poor idea on behalf of Activision to have it set up like this...whats to stop coders from rewriting the 1 or 2 lines to give themselves or friends higher ranks and items?? I mean the coding cant be anymore difficult then FTA boxes to crack

                            Its already being done. The hackers are out there already. Look around now and you will notice them. They already have built in GUI and rank cheats.

                            Its a damn shame that we cant ever have a hack free game anymore.

                              There are not really as many cheats as you would think compared to some other games, but remember we are as close to Cheat Free as humanly possible, we already have over 700 players banned from our COD4 server for cheating..
