ok, so before I even purchased my digital copy of SH4 I made a folder in my docs called, yup...SH4, well all my mods, my SH4 installer and all my SH4 releated files were in that folder.
Of course not realizing that the game creates that same folder name to store save games and cfg's.
So I've got some wonkey files from mucking about and modding things and decide to
re-install the game so it's all cleaned up...you see where this going?
So I un-install and the game ask's if I want to keep the save files, na I never do
and clicked the no box...AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!
I swear if I had a gun!
All my stuff just went POOF!
Now the sad part is my wife, bless her, brought me some blank dvd's so I could burn backup's of all my stuff...hmmm, maybe I should have gotten around to that!
So here I am downloading...again...for probly the next 24 hours to get it all back.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

Take advice from an idiot and BACKUP your stuff!

Cheers...I guess

I downloaded it too cause I just couldn't wait! In the meantime, I ordered a new computer...once both computers got to talking to one another, I copied the file over to the new beast. That alone took some 3.5 hours. Well worth it! Even got a trip to New York for some pizza and suds...

You must have good PC specs cause that picture looks nice, although i can spot some jagged edges on the persicope :p Seriously the boats look huge compare to the sailor standing on deck!

OMG i can't wait for this game...two days to go. Damn easter holidays

Hey count yourself lucky, I didn't back up my OS and had to spend 100 dollars on a new windows XP.
