Gunter Severloh 4064 Posted November 5, 2014 Sorry to read, I've always had a folder for all work and then a copy of my work is in the main directory idk what your exact situation is with your files OS but hope you get it sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyclonicTuna 87 Posted November 5, 2014 No theres no loss of data. But i don't like it when im in the middle of doing something and my entire A3 directory gets deleted and created again because of a update, i now have to use a recovery tool to get my work back. That sucks dude :( But this is the exact reason I use a seperate mod folder and a third party launcher. I would advise you to do the same. I've had lots of problems with mods in the main directory in the past aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted November 5, 2014 I've theory, did you clicked on the "delete local content" in the 1. STEAMclient games list > Arma 3 > Properties > Local Files > Delete Local Game Content ... 2. directly the main menu "delete local content ..." because for w/e reason this ""feature"" nuke erase whole directory and it's content we already contacted Valve about this because of loss of mods / custom content / creative work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4064 Posted November 5, 2014 It basically means your uninstalling Arma3 thats what "delete local content" does, havn't you ever used it? I've used it for a few games back in the day came back and resinstalled a game. If theres issues with the game as in crashes then "delete local content" could be of use but othewise use verify integrity of cache which scans your game and updates/replaces any files not the same or missing. For OS's sake I hope that it was just some minor issue, based on his other thread it seems the latest update (1.34) removed mods in his directory so we will see what he has figured out.

So i must have clicked delete local content and redownloaded the game cause it took ages and everything in the folder got nuked i thought it would only affect BI content not my custom files & folders. But anyway dont worry guys, theres been no loss of the mod files or any of its data, the folders get backed up everytime they are modifed elsewhere. Just shocked to find that it all vanished cause i had the game setup how i liked it. Now its like removed everyone elses mods and im gonna have to download them again. Id be very wary about that delete local content as it seems to just remove everything not unstall the game files and leaves other custom files intact. Anyone else might not be so lucky and if they don't backup the custom files they have then it could be very upsetting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephsen 79 Posted November 5, 2014 yeah thats right im with you , i've got my A3 meticulous set too with many personal moded files for me , and when this files are deleted would be that a real disaster for me.
