    Hello,

    Today After downloading the new update my old settings folder in Documents/GamezBD seems to have been deleted.
    This Includes every single thing in the folder such as my graphics settings, presets, custom character portraits and character templates I made.
    Anyone know whats going on here? Are my files gone for good?

    no they did not think they put it in another folder

    search a document folder and see if you can find your old settings

    you know what I think you might be right because I can't find mine either

    And i think they deleted the screenshots as well -_- why would they delete this folder

    -_- i think the screen shots are in thr 2

    my condolences I know how you feel. why would the GM do something like this without back in the folder up? it was a very bad design move

    i literally lost all my pictures i haven't made on this server

    I hope they give us reparations for this

    @PrestonGarvey this is not a chat, this is a thread, and you must stop spamming. It's not the first time I see it, some messages have lass then 1 minute between... You may edit your post to add something that you missed. You may also quote multiple topics in a single message. I'm merging your messages one last time. Please, read the forum rules, there's a link in my signature.

    New updates like build updates need a clean install to prevent any conflict, and there's a cache folder on gamezbd folder located at Documents. I don't know if it's possible to make it different, @Kolka is the one to answer that. But I always keep a backup because I change the game language a lot...

    my bad force of habit... I lost all the pictures I have a made on This Server pretty disappointing

    I wish I would have did this sooner but I just forgot. I can understand that sometimes updates may not be compatible with the new stuff, but why delete pics and presets?

    Maybe you could use a software to help you recover it? Try MiniTool Partition Wizard.

    Avoid downloads and copies for now, so it will make easier to find it.

    Well unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. I even tried recuva with no luck. However, I recently migrated drives and I was lucky I still had my old backups. I merely lost a month of stuff like screenshots.

    I hope you start making backups too
