All arsenal loadouts wiped out after sudden PC shutdown

[Roach_ 52]

So I was previewing a scenario earlier and the power went out, and so did my PC. After starting up and everything, I booted up Arma 3 to get that "Welcome" message you get when you play it for the first time. I shrugged it off and went into the editor and saw that all of the arsenal loadouts were gone. Everything else seems to be intact, the campaign and any other scenarios are marked as done and everything. I validated the steam files, started up again and got the upcoming updates (Nexus, expansion) message, and yeah, the arsenal is still empty of loadouts.

 

Any leads?

 

EDIT: VR Training seems to have been reset as well as my best times on Firing Drills and lap times.

Have a look inside 'C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Your_ARMA_PROFILENAME\' and see if there is a file called 'YOUR_ARMA_USERNAME.vars.Arma3Profile'. I believe this is where your Arsenal Loadouts are saved. If it is there, then check its contents (though don't be alarmed if its mostly illegible - a snippet of mine looks like the below:

Anyway, if the file is there AND has similar content I'm not sure what to suggest. However, the more likely issue is the powercut caused Windows to (for whatever reason) either delete the file or corrupt it to be unrecognisable by the game), as such you're SOL.

Yeah I do have the file and it looks like yours (even though I opened it with notepad since I doubt I have any tools for it). It just seems pretty weird.

I've had this happen when I cleared Steam's cache with any anti-virus program.

Perhaps your anti-virus does that automatically every restart.

 

I don't know how to recover it, though.

It doesn't happen after every restart/shut down. Best guess is that something got corrupted. But it's fine, all good things must come to an end.

This happened to me too yesterday. My user missions are still there. If yours are you could try importing your units into virtual arsenal.
