Title: Entire Project Gone!
Post by: Farplane Dragon on September 28, 2008, 09:52:42 PM
I went to go work on my game, and normally it opens it up automatically, this time it didn't. I went to open and tried to find the file for it, but I can find one anywhere, I've saved it several times so far, I know that much. Basically, I was working on it and my computer crashed, and now it's gone.  :(  Please tell me I didn't just lose a week of work.

Get a search program, maybe Google Desktop search may work.

This is why you should backup your project after every major update.

Well, I started it over, lucky for me, I took screen shots of everything so I should be able to redo it without any real problems. I guess this can be closed now.

My Documents\RPGVX

This is where your game files are saved. If you have windows XP try running a search next time.

If I were you, I'd use a flash drive and make a backup.
