RimrookSince 2003

I lost everything involving Left 4 Beer. I reinstalled Left 4 Dead and the tools because of a strange error that would let me run the game. Of course I did this as a last effort, but normally uninstalling games leaves your local files like saved game data and added stuff. Steam games, thoroughly do not and no one told me or I didn't notice any warnings. I lost everything, instances, trigger setups, not even the autosave file has anything in it. Probably my own stupid fucking fault too.

Rest in Peace, Left 4 Beer. May your reincarnate hopefully succeed you :*(

I've gotten into the habit of backing up my maps/mods every couple of days.

Brendanmint... no. Bad Brendanmint.

Steam used to be good.

Then something happened that made it great.

You thought i was going to bash steam, weren't you?

Sorry to hear. Maybe this time it will be even better, though.

Maybe you can still recover your files from the depths of your hard drive. At least, it worked for me when the same thing happened to the Source SDK.
Use a different computer to search for recovery software to minimize anything new written to your HDD.
