OMG!
Quick problem overview:
Over the past week I've been having crashing problems with COD4 for PC. The game starts up fine, but eventually locks up after playing for a while. Sometimes I can play an hour before it dies, other times it locks up minutes into the match. When the game crashes it dies hard, locking my entire system and requiring a hard restart using the reset button on the from of my computer.
Everytime the system crashes I lose all stats for that play session, including kills, promotions, etc. Talk about an annoying problem! Worse yet, if I try to change my name in the multiplayer options screen, I get a error message and it resets my stats back to *ZERO* and makes me restart at level 1. To counter this issue, I've since learned to backup my profile after every promotion.
Problem:
Tired of dealing with constant COD4 crashes, this afternoon I backed up my profile and totally uninstalled the game. After restarting my system I reinstalled it, applied the patches and updates, then copied my profile back to the appropriate folder. Unfortunately, this profile restoration didn't work, and the game is insisting that I start over AGAIN at level 1.
Since starting to play this game, I've gone from:
PVT (level 1) - SGT I (Level 11) - PVT (level 1)
PVT (level 1) - CPL II (level 9) - PVT (level 1)
PVT (level 1) - 2LT (level 25) - LCPL II (level 6)
This latest one really get me:
LCPL II (level 6) - BG (level 43) - PVT (level 1)
This latest one cost me over 67,000 XP, 5,600 kills, and almost 23 hrs of play time. (Xfire logged 24 hrs of game time this week alone) Overall, by my calculations I should have hit LTG by now if I didn't have to keep starting the game over from level 1.
Has anyone else here had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Please help!
