Do you recall what the texture errors were?

I did a previous post on it, I think it was you that called it out as cod4x problem    

[Sammy]

Thats an xmodel count error. There are two others, materials and images, that also will fail due to asset counts in the standard game.

i didnt think of saving profile because with cod5 the ranks on xi servers are always up to date .

Rank save just good for dedicated servers.

i thaught that was the same with cod4.

since all Xi servers are mods i assumed they keep my ranks there like cod5.

im learning..

Your ranks and load outs do save, just not on the server itself. They save in a folder where cod4 is installed on your pc. 
 

In my case I run win10 operating system and steam. So, the file location for me is.. 

C:\Program Files (86x)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4\players\profiles 

if before reinstalling the game or reformatting your pc. You can just save that folder. Then once it’s reinstalled. All of your ranks and load outs will be saved. Same goes for the mod folders and map folders. Or really, I guess you could save the whole cod4 folder before any changes.. install the game. Then drop the contents of the folder in the new installed cod4 folder and over write it. Essentially save it all of your game data would be saved.

the one before you installed game patch, note: those restores are from windows updates, if any date b4 game patch  roll it back and use your dvd writer and retreve all you game files and maps.....so next crash no need to re download maps again and have you profile users\\you\appdata\activision\cog4  .....copy all in that folder and set show all files before you burn DVD disc, can also copy WaW folder too . so after burning the files run windows update and get the up date  again

i did not reinstalled already had version 1.7 but at that time i wasnt able to make it run so i installed cod4x back then to see our modded servers.

last week after an update to 21.1 this fucked up my cod4x and after trying to get it back i found the right IW3 files to make at least the 1.7 version run and when i join on xi servers all my ranks were at level 1.

so i didnt think to do back up before that shit.

All good brother. All of the same weapons are available at lvl 1. The rank really only shows you have experience with that current mod, unlike the original version of the game. If you have anymore issues or questions refer to the xI cod4 forums.
 

Edit, Oh.. you’ve been a member forever. You know where the forums are… lol!
