Any Windows 8.1 users that play WaW?

[BigPapaDean]

I need the config file location. I want to make a couple changes such as turn my lag meter on and show all my gauges for fps and shit like that! Please some one help this kind hearted ole man!

[snaFU73]

Try this....

 

C: Users / "User Name" / AppData / Local / Activision / CoDWAW / players / profiles /

[BigPapaDean]

Nope it's not there either bro

[LOCO]

for cod4 its here  C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles

 

SO CHECK HERE  C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\

[BigPapaDean]

Okay in the 8.1 there is no path like that. Here is what I show!

You gotta click your start button then type the path in the box.

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.

[OhMy]

LOL, who in the heck can figure this stuff out.................

windows 8 is such a mess what take you 5 sec to find files on win7 takes forever on win 8 lmfao

[PissySocks]

Show hidden files and folders should do it for you Dean

What are you talking about, Toes?  It's in the same place on 8 as it was in 7.

[BigPapaDean]

So I guess I am a real idiot! so sue me! lol Okay what format do I need to set the config up where it's not a paragraph? I want them like bullets or something like that? 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!

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"

Win 8.1 is FINE manages all the stuff much betta

[LOCO]

download http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.8.html 

its better than regular notepad

with regular notepad it will display weird

with notepad ++ it will show 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.
