Hey,
So I reinstalled SoF II but this time I have windows 7 on my laptop and apparantly the cfg gets installed in a mysterious unknown location?
I created a new MP folder and put a cfg in it myself, but the game doesn't seem to use that one.
It's strange that I'm the first person asking this, I haven't seen anyone before who already made a topic about this specific problem here.
Any solutions?

put the cfg in mp folder as "larry" without quotes and then when u open sof type /exec larry

Thanks, but it still doesn't seem to solve my problem because:
I especially need that cfg for adjusting my screensize (1280x800, it isn't an option in the game itself), but when i exec the cfg it execs everything except the size ("blabla will be executed after restarting the game"); when I restart it returns back to the old cfg.
Pretty sucky. I don't get it, the game must use a cfg, so it must be somewhere on my hdd right?

no no
you dont restart the game after you exec it
you just do vid_restart ( i dont know if youre restarting the game or vid_restart )

Very strange. Now when I do it, it makes a new cfg (sof2mp.cfg) with the same settings as in the cfg I executed,
but even when I put stupid settings like, let's say height 100 & width 50, it doesn't change the size of the screen, doesn't matter what size I enter.
But I dunno, I guess it's not a disaster, I can live with it as it is now :-)
Thx for the help anyways.

You have to have /r_mode at -1 ( /r_mode -1)
for the customheight and customwidth values to work

I had the same problem when I first got windows 7. If you really want to find where the cfg and the rest of the directory then it should be under C>Users>Larry(or whatever you set your username as)>AppData>Local

"AppData" folder is hidden so you need to reveal it.

The solution I have for this directory problem is simple: go onto the SOF directory in the program files folder(or wherever you originally installed it) and go to the SOF exe and right click. Under properties, compatibility then select "Run this program in compatibility mode with Windows XP Service Pack 3." Repeat this also for the fairplay exe. After that, the directory should act as normal.

I hope this helps.

Okay thanks, works like a charm now.
