So my save data's gone.

My baby sister was at my place the other day with my Fiancee while I was out on business. I get home today to find my save had been wiped. My fiancee said my sister deleted it by mistake while she was away from the PC.

I had 37 million in net worth and a whole lot of star data on systems I had been. What do I do now? My fiancee offered to play the game and grind away at it until she got me back up to the credits, the woman's addicted to trading in this game, but honestly the money I couldn't care less about. that was just a means to the python. My ranks and status with the federation is what I really cared about. That and my Viper. I had it fully kitted. Now I don't even want to boot up my PC. I really don't want to start this over yet again. What should I do? Can frontier do something to get my data back or is it back to the freegle again?

Probably freeagle im afraid. You are in charge of your PC after all. Ticket it and see what happens, but i think you are out of luck there mate.

No idea. Contact the support, they'll know if anyone. They've fixed broken saves and such before a lot, so I at least assume they do have redundant backups with multiple "snapshots".

... yet another reason to make the 'clear save' harder to mess with.

Oh Jiminy Crickets. I can feel that pit of OMG D: in your stomach from here, pilot, my condolences. Reminds me of oldendays playing Ultima V for about 4 months, when I start up one day to find myself back at the beginning hut. My mom had just wanted to see what kind of game I was playing and ended up wiping my whole game. First and harshest lesson in letting go of video game stuff.

I'm hoping FD can do something for you here, this is obviously a horrible disaster (gamewise) and not some kind of weird cheat, so I'd like to think they'd see what they can swing. Good luck pilot, and again, damn.
 
:DWhat would be handy is if when you go to wipe your save, it asks you to login to do it or at least for the login password to do it...

You can try ticketting it but I will say that your pc is your responsibility to a fair extent...

Oh so sorry to hear that. I think I would loose all motivation to play if that happened!

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say, but doesnt help you now. Even if it does fall into your responsibility, I think it is in Frontier's interests too to try to help out if they can. Happy player is one that will stay and continue to buy expansions and the like and support the game.

Surely there is some form of backup on the server side that might get the game back for you, but I do sincerely hope Frontier's support will help you.

Good luck CMDR.
 
Probably a reasonable idea to have it password protected.

Probably a very reasonable idea - but I can't understand how anyone can run a Windows machine and share it with other people without unique user accounts and passwords. It's not too hard to enable Win-L and Switch User.

Having a completely open machine that absolutely anyone can use with your stuff on it, urm, well it boggles my mind. Mind you, Windows does make that kind of easy - so it's not exactly the fault of the users.

LOL - sorry mate - but what are passwords for? Tick - remember me = your responsibility.

My 9 year old wrote off my well decked out ship on my account & lost my freagle by picking the siddy while I was letting him play in Gamma - oops.

Come on Devs this needs some pass wording. And support give the guy a break. Even I am feeling the pain and imagining if it happened to me.

LOL Wut?
 
you could try calling FD and selling them both your sister and fiancé in to slavery?


Maybe they would accept...

Just on option....


I mean what would you have to do if you deleted all her TV shows, I am guessing the nagging would NEVER stop!
