How To Get Your Rank/Save Back/Settings In CoDWaW

I want know if it's possible save the account of the multiplayer user on "COD 5-World at war"

Because soon I will need a new Hard Disk and i would need format my actually HD but i don't want lose my campaigns saved games and especially my multiplayer user, i have cod with steam which let me make a backup of every game but i don't know if it save the multiplayer data or if you know a better way to get it.

I wish have been clear enough  in spite of my horrible english xd

C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\ (Win7,WinVista)

you will need your players folder and you will also need your cdkey copied from here:

Open 'regedit' in Start Menu/Run or Start Menu/Search Bar
Look For

64 Bit:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Activision/Call of Duty WAW/

32 Bit:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Activision/Call of Duty WAW/


>> look to the right for 'codkey'

Either write it down or copy and paste to a notepad file on another hard drive.

When reinstalling WaW, type your saved serial in and when done installing, overwrite your new 'players' with the backup you saved (copy and paste).
STEAM USERS IGNORE THE CD KEY PART. IT'S FOR THE RETAIL/STORE VERSION


Turn on the game and look in 'RANK & CHALLENGES' and you should still have your completed data there.

Thnx, I have wondered how to do that also!

thanks!

i have a problem because i bought the game by steam (pay for internet), i have windows XP and i don't have this folders but knowing that only with copy and paste the data it should work i think that steam backup could work... I will try it in another PC before format this one

Yea thats a good info for me too. Thanks

i wish i would have know how to do this ive been through aleast 5 different profiles.

I have an other problem.
Sometimes, when I cant get a connection with the server, I go to profiles and my profile doesn't exists. And when I make a new one the other one is deleted. And when I do get online, my profile is back.
Does anyone know how this is possible?
Thx

Newcomers, this post is for you

If you turn on the game one day and a message says your stats are corrupt, to recover them, just turn off the game and rename a file called mpdata.bk (sometimes called mpdata.bk00000 or something) to simply mpdata. You will find that here:

C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players

You can also back up that folder in case something happens with your hard disk/solid state disk. This file is linked to your CDKey and that same CDKey is the only way you can fully recover your files.

If you use a new cd key and the old saved rank won't work give you offline or could not connect to services because punkbuster feel you try to hjack their data base ^^ this is how punkbuster support ticket replay me ,and i need to get 65 again...........

Bump for those having this problem after master server issue
