Crushlok Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Had 2 steam updates today and both times my projects folder contents were deleted. Anyone have a reason or a solution? New user here not sure what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What is the location of your projects folder? This isn't inside the Steam directory is it?

Crushlok Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Default setting documents folder that leadwerks creates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Did you navigate to this folder in Windows Explorer and see the folders, or did you just look in the project manager in Leadwerks? The directory by default is "(USER)\Documents\Leadwerks\Projects". Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 There's no explanation I can think of. The editor does not delete your projects, unless you delete your project from the project manager. Your maps will be saved in a directory here: (USER)\Documents\Leadwerks\Backup Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Crushlok Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 well the projects folder is empty after the updates created 2 new projects today and they no longer exist. The editor may not be deleting them but something is and it seems to be everytime steam updates leadwerks files. I have seen 2 downloads for the software today and both times my projects have been deleted. Like I said will just save somewhere else and see if the problem stops. thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushlok Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 forgot to mention it tells me it failed to load said project on startup before the project manager loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah, that would happen if the project was gone. I don't see how a Steam update would cause that though.
