clean uninstall and reinstall

David198502 · #1 07-20-2011, 03:20 PM

hey guys!i want to do a complete clean reinstall of cod.meaning i want to uninstall it completely and then do a clean reinstall.
i did it today, but somehow my game stutters and freezes more than with my previous install, so i want to do it correctly.

i want that nothing is left on my pc from cod before i install it again, to prevent it of using old possible corrupt files.
so what else should i consider to do besides deleting it from steam?
thx in advance.

Make sure to delete the 1c Softclub folder in My Documents, though beware that you may want to save it someplace as it contains all your control setups if you turned steam cloud off.

Someone mentioned scouring the registry for cliffs of dover entries and removing those.

I hate the registry, and it's dangerous to fool around in there if you don't know what you're doing.

Uninstalling/reinstalling probably won't change much, if anything.
Why do you want to do it?

well i did uninstall and reinstall it today,because i wanted to get rid of the mods i installed.
i know its not necessary to do that to uninstall the mods, but i did it(stupid me).now after a reinstall, my game stutters and freezes much more than before.
i did delete 1c folder and checked integrity in steam, but nothing seems to help.

And you didn't install old mobo or video drivers when you installed again? Is everything exactly as it was before you uninstalled?
