X-COM Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 I was very anxious to start playing this game having been a big fan of terror from the deep, so when I got the game I jumped into it straight away not looking at the menus or any settings. Last night having recovered from the humiliation of my boss tracking me down in the forum, I completed the Russian mission and was so pleased with myself I thought I would check out the settings I neglected earlier. I looked in the options menu and changed a few things, then I looked in the game menu.... ....I thought to myself 'default game' what could that be? So I fiddled about for a bit and activated a new game thinking it would make no difference to any saved games I had under the 'default game'. I WAS WRONG - THE SAVED GAMES HAD BEEN DELETED!! I was actually quite calm and thought to myself that the games would still be on the system, so I checked out program files - THE SAVED GAMES HAD BEEN DELETED!! Understandably I was a little bit annoyed at this having just done the Russian mission and progressing nicely throughout the game. Today I sit here telling you this awful story so that others may learn from my experiences and not loose everything for one moments stupidity. After therapy I started a new game and am doing quite nicely having learnt allot from the first time I played. The drugs the docter gave me are helping as well!

X-COM Posted October 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Yeah I changed the profile back to the original default game but there are no games - and all the saved game files are gone from the UFO folders in program files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systems Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Wow - you must be really pissed at that. You must have deleted your default profile and then the game made you a brand new default profile. Thanks for the warning. I've backed up my saves directory now, just in case (and will do after every game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
