Major Problem!!

[AJRacer]

Hey guys,

I was playing with my friend on TDU a few weeks ago. My computer got a blue screen of death type thing so I sent my PC out to HP to get it fixed. I got my computer back but my harddrive was completely wiped except for a few files. I had a backup of my TDU key and BuddyCache, and the game itself but no savegame. However when I ran the game after a reinstall the TDU server told me I didn't have content downloaded and that I'd be disconnected. Without furthur ado, I checked for content and found nothing. So I booted up the game and found my online profile had been deleted. I am trying as hard as I can to get my profile back. Is there anyway to make a new online profile and still have my friends?? I will reinstall it soon and hope for the best.

 

Thanks,

The buddylist file isn't important - your list of friends is on teh GameSpy servers - so you just need to use the same account name and email address.

 

As for missing content, do you need to reinstall the megapack or 1.66a patch?

Well I can't use the same name because the gamespy servers say it's already in use. So I don't know how to recover the actual name (BulletsandExotics). I never got the megapack as I never got around to it and it's still $20 which is way too much. My 1.66A patch is installed again.

'name already in use' means you've typed the wrong password

oh ok thanks a bunch I'll give it a try ;)

*Edit* OK it's up and running but it says I need to make a new game. My friends list will still be there correct? All I need to do is regain my status (otherwise known as get to where I was in level all over again). Thanks for your help! :)
