Modern Warfare 2 on steam, Lost Ranks.

As my title suggests I have lost ALL ranks on my COD MW2 game after my computer crashed mid game... Looking at the support page on steam ( https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3991-EOAV-1596 ) I tried to do as they said but it ended up not working, I'm still rank 1. I have here a screen shot of players folder containing my backup of the Ranks and would really apprecieate some help on this as I have lost many hours of gameplay in a matter of seconds which i had no control over.

Since I have seen these sorts of topic on the steam forums as well as the IW forums why not try there where you are sure to find peiople with this problem.

I've read on their forums that some of the data used for ranks is stored locally for Steam players, which is yet another fail by IW.

I had to wait to be registered to the steam servers overnight.

This is completly ludicrous, Im pretty sure I'm boned, why bother playing the game if it can happen again?

I'd assume because the game is fun... if not you can always hand off your cd key to any other person who could care less about ranks and such.

The point of an rpg is to gain levels and new gear and such. CoD isnt the typical shooter because it grants you new gear and unlockables. People play better with different gear sets and perks. And as it stands, there are many weapons and perks that are better then ones you get at lower levels. Why would I play if this continues to happen to me, and other players. Your whole point makes no sense, I payed for the game they made and I wouldn't have if they had said "Were only going to give you the first rank, It is just a shooter after all."

I still stand by my statement...
