Never ever ever do this
 

Well I was having some minor game issues, Longer loading times etc? So when I went to load my career i noticed I had accumulated alot of saves. So I thought hmmmm I just delete the ones I wont use anymore! I started with patrol one and with one click of the mouse destroyed my entire career! No more 1940! No more Knightscross with oak leaves! No more crew I had carefully built up and trained and rewarded. No more anything!

And I can't blame Bernard for this one!

Why ever deleting ANYTHING without making a backup first :hmm: ^^ ?

Sorry for your loss though.

Ah, newcomers. This was actually discovered and discussed three years ago, right after the game was released. You couldn't be expected to know that, though, since you weren't around then and the Community Manual is no more.

Not criticizing', just sayin'.:sunny:

And thanks for mentioning it. I just hope other new guys take the time to read it.

ouch, ouch, ouch. :dead:

Same thing happened to me too. I've been playing SH3 ever since it was released and I don't usually delete my saves. I was low on diskspace so I thought freeing some diskspace by deleting old save files. Goodbye best career and crew. :damn:
Did't feel like playing for a while. But I got back on the horse eventually. ;)

Very honest and brave of you Kaleun....we all learn from our mistakes....better luck next time (save your C/MyDocs folder) http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

:o
I did not know this.

Also deleting the default " Player " career can lead to other problems with saves IIRC

Well you bloody well do now http://imgcash2.imageshack.us/img134/9742/angry8se2.gif

:yep:
;)

Thank-you, Thank-you, and again I say Thank-you. I was one key stroke from doing what you did when I read your post. I can only imagine my reaction if I had done so. My computer would resemble the one on an earlier post wrapped up in duct tape.

Sorry for you loss, but better you that me. :damn:

Brer Rabbit

So you can't open the 'Recycle Bin' and simply restore the deleted folders and files? :huh:

If you restart the game after delete?
I doubt it would help.
Files get renamed then,
and a restore would probably cause even more
really cool things to happen.

I did this same thing and lost my whole career ... :damn:

Learned a valuable lesson though ...:up:

Yep, me too, but that was a long time ago did make me go

:o..................:damn: :damn:

that's one mistake I'm not likely to repeat
