oh no it's just another workaround for IWD or Activisions stupidity. Instead of storing your user rank and achievements in an online profile like America's Army for example they decided to store it right in your computer. All it involves is changing your CD-Key in registry and copying a ready made level 55 profile (which is tied to the cd key you enter in registry). All you do then is go in game with your profile at 55 and stuff and enter your original key and the game changes it for you without losing your profile. Your profile usually becomes corrupt if you change the cd key out of game
iirc. It goes like that somehow. It doesn't involve running any rogue .exe files or such just a bit of harmless editing. You've got nothing to lose with your fresh install anyway
I'll provide you with the link if you want I gave it to Hasnan on here and he used it too and I successfully used it too after a Windows reinstall.
