Accidentally deleted your saved game

I have overwritten a saved game more than a few times. I will be playing along saving the game as I go. For some reason, I will start a new character (to show someone something or other). I will then, out of habit, forget to change the name of the game I save and then the deed is done.

 

I've had corrupt saved games before, but they happened in earlier games. These days, I haven't had any saved games problems, but knock on wood! I don't want to jinx this. ^_^

 

I had my saves corrupt but i have never deleted them. When my save corrupted i just quit the game for a few months.

 

That's terrible! I've never had that same experience happened to me thank God. It's bad enough that you deleted a saved game how much more if you've done so much already in the game, that really sucks big time. I hope you won't lose your saved game again next time.

 

I had just started getting my foot in the door of GTA online (i was a level 35.) I went to switch characters, and i deleted it. No chance to say yes or no, no warning, nothing.What upsets me is that it was so easy to do so.

 

I've had it happen on the PC - not that they disappeared, but that I had to wipe out and reinstall and forgot to back up the save files so when I got back into the game, they were gone. I was pretty unhappy and also chose not to play those games for a while.

 

I haven't had the privilege of it happening but my best friend has managed to pull it off on more than one occasion. Its not a pretty site to watch someone melt down after they do it either.

 

I had this problem once when I was playing Final Fantasy XIII. At least I was only about 3-4 hours in when my PC Blue Screened me and I when I rebooted, all the save data was gone. I guess that when I saved for the first time, the data must have not written onto the hard drive for some reason. Anyway, if this has occurred when I was 10-20 hours into the game I would be pretty upset.

 

I have done that mus then I learned of a mistake and made a copies of the save files everytime I finished playing. However, I just upgraded my operating system and remembered to take a copy of every save file so I wouldn't repeat my mistakes again.
