Went to go and play a bit of cod 4 earlier, upon loading the game up i discovered that all my payer profiles had vanished, i installed this game ages ago when i upgraded to windows 7, all my profiles had been backed up to an external hdd prior to reformatting and installing win 7, then installed again, last time i played it a few weeks ago everything was as it should be, but today all my player profiles are gone, seems a bit strange how theyve all just dissapeared.
 
i thought they were kept online? i know they are in the ps3 version because when i got my slim i didnt back up any saves yet my unlocks were still there
 
Just had a glance through my external hdd and found the original profile folder.:). Still a bit puzzled as to how they dissapeared though, i havent been near the activision folders on my c drive in months.
 
They can get deleted if you install the patch and start the game afterwards before putting in your CD key again.
 
The last patch i had installed was 1.7.568, been quite a while since ive played cod 4 tbh so i havent kept up with any updates.
 
I meant if you do it in this order:

1)Install game enter cdkey etc into installer.
2)Patch up.
3)Copy backed up profiles into cod folders.
4)Start game.

Your profiles will not be accessible.
You need to do 4 before 3 and enter the key into the game otherwise it won't recognise your profiles. You did reinstall OS.
 
My install order was

install game, create profile
copy profiles folder from usb hdd and overwrite the new one
patch to latest version
start game

This was a fair while ago but i was able to play fine on my saved profiles that i copied into the directory, i then stopped playing cod 4 for a long time, until today when everything was gone. But ive reinstalled the profiles saved on the usb hdd so back to lvl 55 again.:)
