COD4 (non steam), how portable is it?

bledd · 17 Jul 2008 at 15:07

All my games I have now are portable, either because they're steam games, or they just work

(ie, i can plug my external hard drive into any pc and just play them)

Can you do this with COD4? I want to buy it, but it costs so much on steam

It will reset your stats, that aside afaik it works...

where are they saved? reg?

Yeah steam is usually a little more, i bought COD4 on there because i needed it on a sunday.

You could install something that monitors and blocks registry entries, install game then see if it runs.

I would try it for you but have a steam copy myself

*edit* no the stats are a file in the documents and settings directories

Nopes, in your cod4 folder, but for me it whined '' cod4 stats have been corrupted, your stats have been reset'' when I tried starting my Xp installation of cod4 in vista... Afaik it isn't dependant on what's in the reg.

Yeah, it's easy to corrupt them. There is a tool for transferring profiles here.

can you redirect the files using ini or a reg file? or does it have to be in 'documents'

it's gay that they make games reference all over the place now, real gay

I always preferred games that had a profile directory in the program files directory.

Not ideal but you could make a batch file that backed up/copied your profile to the particular directory.
