How to transfer your BF2 settings for a LAN party?

[Beatnik]

We've got the TG event in Austin this weekend, and I'm wondering what the best way is to load up my settings on the LAN PC. I'm thinking a couple files copied to a thumbdrive would work, but of course it probably isn't that simple. Any ideas? Or will I need to manually update my settings there? Thanks.

If you copy all the files from the profile information onto the thumbdrive you'll have everything down to your graphics settings. I've used it to standardize the controls on my accounts.


I can't find the thread this goes to anymore but this kills the tutor and everyone will love you for slaying him because he is like a plague upon the game.

We all have gotten them after a reinstall, the annoying help voices. I was skimming through the .con files, and I found this:

In 0001\General.con, paste all of these into it and save:

Go to your 'My Documents' folder, then to 'Battlefield 2' and 'Profiles', then choose the appropriate folder like below:
C:\Documents and Settings\ash\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001

From there, I think you can copy the entire folder and then paste it into the appropriate folder at the LAN centre.

Nice. That's the method I was thinking about. Thanks!
