LilyRain 674 Posted November 10, 2018 A hard-drive contains millions and billions of sectors, think of this as apartments in a city.. The softwares you speak of will only help if no new information were written on the sectors that had APB-files on them.. What does that mean? It means that there is a good chance you won't be able to recover the files with said software, because the hard-drive was being used for 2 days... Even if you recover some of the data, the launcher will force a repair on your APB-directory. Additionally, a software like that is usually payware and is not guaranteed to properly restore your files The best way is to just re-download the game.. P.S: Do not uninstall games if you do not have fast internet to get them back.... unless you need the HDD space.. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downvoters are abundant, so I dunno how special that kitten is. I did not notice any immediate downside from getting downvotes, so let 'em have some false sense of... whatever that is in their minds and feels~~ Thx~ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
