Call of Duty World at War Cannot Create a Profile

[nikolaizombie1]

After my recent upgrade to windows 10 has been running almost flawlessly i stumbled upon a issue my cod waw save's were corrupted. Ok i can live with that but the kicker is is that i can create a save or profile. It tell's me create one so i put my name and press ok but keeps looping the same message that i need to create a profile and put my username. I've tried everything from disabling my firewall, trying to manually create a profile by creating a active.txt folder and puting my name in it, create a folder with my name on it, deleting registry keys and as a last resort uninstalling the game. I'm out of ideas, you got anything that i can try?

Just skip that process and join some custom servers. 

Here is one of many sites with server ip's for waw: https://www.gametracker.com/search/codww/

If I am not mistaken you can just skip that and enter a name in the settings. After that go to join a server and type a server adress from that site in

I think that only works for cracked servers

I solved the problem, i had to uninstall the game, then go to the local folder, find activision folder and delete it then go to the registry go to local machine\software\wow6432node then delete the activision folder. after deleting all that i reinstalled the game from the disk (this might work for steam user's but i'm not sure) after i patched it it worked flawlessly.

 

Edit: always run it on windows 7 comparability mode if your on windows 10( this is when the error occurred) and you change it to run on vista sp2 or windows 10 the issue will happen again and you have to repeat the process again
