gzdoom deleted

[DooMag]

My entire gzdoom directories have disappeared. They're just not there and I haven't deleted them. Has anyone else experienced this. I check my AV log so sign of of deletion from it either.

If you had deleted the GZDoom folders, that usually would show in the Recycle Bin, from there you can restore folders/files. I would check that first.

As a second possibility you could check if they were accidentally moved to somewhere else. Do a search for the name of the missing folder.

If nothing shows up in either case, then reinstalling would be indicated. After all, nothing that specific disappears on a whim.

They're just gone, no bin not moved no nothing.

The only saving grace is that this is doom we're talking about and losing your save data isn't that big of a deal, but still.

A few options to consider:
* Use a restore point
* If you have your recycle bin set that it should delete directly, then it will be a painful process
* Check subsequent folders above the GZDoom folder, and do a Windows Search from there.

I am pretty much 100% this isn't any of GZDoom's doing, but either a user error or a program error on the user's PC. No directories just disappear for no reason.

Is your computer shared with anybody else?

The only logical explanation is that I must have done it myself but I really can't think why I would do that. I lost all my progress. The good news is this is doom, so I should be able to simply idclev to where I was. Still this kind of freaked me out so I backed everything up and formatted my PC.

This sounds like you had a broken save file?
But you backed everything up... How, when all your directories disappeared?

Not that it matters, glad it got resolved (somehow).
