Here's an interesting one for you all. My Wurm files are gone. Screenshots, character profiles, etc. I updated Java, told it NOT to remove any of the older installations, and then it completed. I started Wurm and it politely asked me where it wanted me to install the client. Ooookay, seen this before, jumped into where the files wanted me to install, found all the files that were already there, backed them up somewhere else, and then let it install.
Here's where it gets interesting. (Hope this makes sense...)
There are files, but the files that are in there are from Feb 19th, 2022 at the latest.
Here's where it gets MORE interesting.
The backup files are exactly the same, which means that the files that I backed up BEFORE I reinstalled, only dated from after Feb 19th, 2022. Time to search my computer!
Searched for the names of my alts and nothing.
Searched for screenshots, nothing.
Searched for files edited in the last two weeks, nope.
Tried to recover files from my comp, found nothing (well found tons of things, but nothing Wurm related).
I can find my backups that I have from other times, but nothing other than that.
And that's where we are now. I'm wracking my brain to find ANYTHING that survives from the past year. Now for the record, we have tons of screenshots of our projects, I can rebuild my login and graphics options, etc. I haven't lost something that can't be replaced, but it has taunted me, and I'm annoyed. Is there some hidden folder somewhere, something that lurks in the AppData, anything?
Any thoughts? Thank you all very much!
