Set Windows Explorer to show hidden files. 

Also make sure it's set to show file name extensions. 

 

The path @@snaFU73 gave you in the 1st reply was correct; the AppData folder is hidden.

Dean, you Idiot - you're supposed to replace the "User Name" part of that with your actual user name!

 

As in:  C:\Users\Dean\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles

(or whatever you use to log into Windows with if it's not "Dean")

 

Also note that it's "\" on a local physical device, but "/" on a virtual folder (like a "library") and also on the web.  Also case doesn't really matter.

I did finally find it tho and yes it was where you said it would be in. I used Notepad but it was too hard to read for a blind bat like me! :P

Would you like me to smoke that for you too, Dean?  (our standard reply as kids when someone would try to bum a smoke from us, then bum a light, too...)

 

So you found your config_mp.cfg file, right?

 

(C:\Users\Dean\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\BigPapaDean\config_mp.cfg - with appropriate changes to bold stuff if necessary.)

 

Fine and make these line read like this:

 

seta cg_drawFPS "Simple"
seta cg_drawFPSLabels "1"
seta cg_drawFPSOnly "1"
seta cg_drawLagometer "1"

Yeah, you're right @@LOCO.  I checked with regular Notepad and that file looks a mess.  I never use Notepad, so it's easy for me to forget that not every one sees things as I do.

 

@@BigPapaDean - Two options:

 

1) Download, install, and use the editor LOCO suggests (I use that one too) - Notepad++.  It's a much better text editor.  It will show you the file the way you expect to see it - one entry per line, not all run together on one line.

 

2) PM me your file, I'll fix it, then return it to you in a PM.
