Well, I had to rebuild my PC Saturday and start over. I figured, heh, just back up the whole halo 2 directory to a different drive and after OS resintall, reinstall Halo 2 and over write the directory.

Usual stuff that works with 99 percent of PC games.

Started H2V up and wonderful.

All my keyboard settings, saved games, LIVE settings, and appearance changes.

GONE.

Looks like the jack-asses who ported this made it save all these items in the registry or some other location that is not part of the program directory???

If anyone finds where this stuff is being stored, please post. I am just itching to find a way to jack up my mouse speed.
Why in world would they just not use a config file like every other title that we could back up and edit as needed?

2 cents (+ some sarcasm)

=P

Um, if I think I remember right, I read on about there being a directory like Halo PC's on in My Documents, under my games, that is where keyboard settings, saved games, LIVE settings, appearance changes, custom game types, and so on. if you didn't back those up, then I'm sorry to say, but you'll have to reset every thing to what you like.
