   Geregistreerde deelnemer #2 Geregistreerd: 17 jan 2009 - 16:12berichten: 400 | Level Hacked on a Server? What to do now... 1. Realised you're in a hacked server? If you realise you're on a hacked server, immediately do the following steps: * Are you in a hacked server? * Do not exit the server. * Ctrl + Alt + Delete * Task manager > Processes Tab * Select iw4mp.exe , and click End Process. * MW2 should exit immediately. This forces the game to shut down without syncing or saving your rank on your profile. When you relaunch the game, it asks to start in safe mode, select no as it will just mess up all your graphic settings to the lowest. 2. It always pays to have a backup plan ... * Create a folder somewhere you'll remember (e.g. My Documents) * Navigate to the root Steam directory (either C:\Program Files\Steam (for 32 bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (for 64 bit)) * Go to userdata > (random number) folder * In the random number folder you'll see more numbered folders, these represent different games you own. 10190 is MW2. * Copy & Paste the 10190 folder into the new folder you've made. * Go back to the root Steam directory * Go to steamapps > common > call of duty modern warfare 2 * In the MW2 folder you will see a folder called players * Copy & Paste the players folder into the new folder you've made. You now have a backup of your level and unlocks. Depending on how up to date you want your backup to be you might want to do the above steps every day or after every session. To restore your original level from a backup: * rename, move or delete the 10190 and players folders in their respective Steam directories mentioned above. * Copy & Paste the backup folders of 10190 and players you made in the new folder back into the correct places. 3. It's too late ! It's never too late ! (shadow copies) From Windows XP SP2 onwards hopefully your computer will have been making shadow copies of your files. These are snapshots of your computer at specific times. You know when you were hacked and your level messed up so we need a version of the folder before that happened. To see if you can restore from a shadow copy: * Exit Steam * Create a folder somewhere you'll remember (e.g. My Documents) * Navigate to the root Steam directory (either C:\Program Files\Steam (for 32 bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (for 64 bit)) * Go to userdata > (random number) folder * In the random number folder you'll see more numbered folders, these represent different games you own. 10190 is MW2. * Right click the 10190 folder and go to Properties then the Previous Versions tab * This is an example picture of properties box: URL link * In the previous version tab, select a folder from a time before you were hacked, then Copy... that version to the new folder you made in My Documents * Go back to the root Steam directory * Go to steamapps > common > call of duty modern warfare 2 * In the MW2 folder you will see a folder called players * Right click the players folder and go to Properties then the Previous Versions tab * In the previous version tab, select a folder from a time before you were hacked, then Copy... that version to the new folder you made in My Documents. * Rename, move or delete the 10190 and players folders in their respective Steam directories mentioned above. * Copy & Paste the copied folders of 10190 and players you made in the new folder back into the correct places. The above steps should restore your level to whenever the last version of the folder was made, before you got level hacked. 4. We need to fall back, .STAT ! If the shadow copy method has not worked, there is one more method we can try. Usually shadow copies are not available if you're still using XP or the drive you have Steam installed on differs from your OS drive and thus does not have system volume protection turned on by default. * Exit Steam * Navigate to the root Steam directory (either C:\Program Files\Steam (for 32 bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (for 64 bit)) * Go to steamapps > common > call of duty modern warfare 2 > players * The multiplayer profile is updated regularly as a .stat file and also includes a backup .bak file. * All original profile files begin with md202ef8d and backup files will begin with md202ef8d.bak * Locate the profile and backup .stat files with the most recent Date Modified listed in Windows * Move the profile .stat file to a new location (Creating a new folder and placing it here should be fine) * Rename the backup .stat file and remove the .bak from the filename * Launch Steam and re-test MW2. * If your rank is still not restored, repeat the above process going back through the profile .stat and bak .stat files based on Date Modified until you have loaded one with your original profile on. 5. Reset me anyway If the shadow copy fails to work, you may want to reset your profile anyway. This will reset it right down to Rank 1 (no prestige), it will be as if you bought the game yesterday. To do this, do the following steps: * Ensure Steam is running * Navigate to the root Steam directory (either C:\Program Files\Steam (for 32 bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (for 64 bit)) * Go to steamapps > common > call of duty modern warfare 2 > players * Delete, move or rename ALL of the .stat files. * Go back to the root Steam directory * Go to userdata > (random number) folder > 10190 > remote * Delete, move or rename ALL of the files in the remote folder * Run Modern Warfare 2 and play a multiplayer game all the way through. Once the game completes and you're back at the lobby, exit Modern Warfare 2. * MW2 will sync your new reset rank to the cloud and hopefully it should stay 6. Further Reading & Misc. Config Issues (crazy map size etc.) Sometimes a malicious result of joining a hacked server is the mini map changes and becomes massive. It can also corrupt text and classes. This is due to the host changing settings in your config_mp.cfg MW2 configuration file. To restore settings back to default, do the following: * Navigate to the root Steam directory (either C:\Program Files\Steam (for 32 bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (for 64 bit)) * Go to steamapps > common > call of duty modern warfare 2 > players * Delete, move or rename the config_mp.cfg file. * Launch MW2 and confirm everything is back to normal, you may have to manually reset some settings. To be extra sure, you may want to verify the game files as well; this is done as follows: * In the Steam Library, Right Click on MW2, then click Properties * Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button. * Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes. * Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit. 7. Modern Warfare 2 Configuration Utility A very handy tool that changes a lot of hidden settings not found in the in-game Options menu. Also has a backup facility to easily manage your profile in case disaster strikes. Some of the features are as follows: * Change the number of ping bars * Change the number of chat lines * Change how long the chat stays visible for * Change the sensitivity of the ping bars * Edit your ping bar colours * Change advanced mouse settings * Create custom control profiles for you and your friends * Enable/Disable several graphics settings that you can't change in-game * Create backups & restore important MW2 files * Enable/Disable music * And so much more!!!
