  1. So I had to do a full computer refresh a little bit ago, and Windows decided to do some routine cleanup before I could turn off that setting, which starts deleting the windows.old folder that the backed up files go to!
  2.  
  3. Fortunately, I caught it and stopped it before it deleted everything, but the damage was done. Everything saved in Program Data and Program Files (x86) was gone, as was a significant chunk of the Users folder. AppData survived and I'd already copied out the Steam folder, but this was still a small blow. Here's the rundown on what I've lost that I'll need to replace, and will be replacing onstream more likely than not.
  4.  
  5. Peggle Deluxe/Peggle Nights data:
  6. This is the biggest hit. Some of my scores are basically unmatchable (Peggleland, Mr. Peepers) and I've lost all my replays (52/55 ultra extreme fevers for the first game). I'll be doing a Challenge Mode speedrun attempt at some point in the near future which will remake the progression data for Peggle Deluxe. Peggle Nights will be getting an Adventure Mode attempt at some point to unlock everything again. I'll be streaming perfect clear and ace score attempts following. The replays and scores are a lost cause, but I can at least get new replays of perfect clears. I may also be able to use Cheat Engine to specifically set my scores to what they were before.
  7. 1/1/2018 update: I've done a little testing and the scores (in Deluxe) have no obfuscation- and neither does the ball count. I can use Cheat Engine to recreate the scores exactly, since I have them all submitted to Cyberscore. I never really got *good* scores on Peggle Nights, and the best ones I had I have on Cyberscore, so that data is remakeable.
  8. Challenge Mode complete for Peggle. 10/55 levels have the correct high score confirmed now. One I accidentally set 10 points too high, but I was able to legitimately improve, so it's okay- I only care about the top score here. Still need to all clear levels.
  9. 1/7/2018 update: Peggle Deluxe is at 40/55 level scores restored. Peggle Nights adventure has been finished.
  10. 1/11/2018 update: Peggle Nights challenges have been started. Peggle Deluxe all clears are at 20/52 replays, for where I was before.
  11.  
  12. Bejeweled Twist:
  13. Scores and best moves are gone, but that doesn't really matter. I'll need to play through Challenge Mode again and also try to match my Eclipse records, which are reported on Cyberscore so I know what to aim for. I may also be able to use Cheat Engine to specifically set my scores to what they were before.
  14. 1/1/2018 update: Yep, Cheat Engine works here too. A little trickier to align some of the scores, but it's doable.
  15.  
  16. Bejeweled 2:
  17. No data loss, but it runs on this computer, now? Apparently the issue was an installation conflict with Harry Potter 2. Jessi gifted me a Steam copy which works fine, so I need to unlock Finity mode.
  18.  
  19. Bookworm Adventures:
  20. No clue what my scores are/were, but I just need to get an all secrets file again. That shouldn't take more than 2 hours or so and is the perfect excuse to do a run (or a few runs) of Adventure Mode again.
  21. 1/22/2018 update: Still haven't re-beaten Arena, but I did get an all secrets file.
  22. 1/28/2018 update: Done.
  23.  
  24. Luxor Amun Rising/Luxor 2:
  25. Gotta beat these.
  26.  
  27. Hamsterball/Switchball:
  28. For Hamsterball, I can edit the XML files and likely use Cheat Engine to restore my documented times and data. For Switchball, I never did get gold on every level, so this is a good excuse to go for it.
  29.  
  30. Super Collapse 3:
  31. Need a 100% file. Expect another any% run I guess lol.
  32.  
  33.  
  34.  
  35.  
  36. Other games that I don't necessarily need to replace the data for:
  37. Insaniquarium:
  38. Data is on old laptop with corrupt registry. I basically never played this and wouldn't mind replaying.
  39. 1/28/2018 update: found my data on my external!
  40.  
  41. Zuma:
  42. I beat the game once recently, that's enough for now.
  43.  
  44. Luxor 3/Quest for the Afterlife:
  45. I beat the game recently. 3 might get replayed but it's not urgent.
  46.  
  47. Harry Potter 2, FROG, FATE The Traitor Soul, Empire Earth:
  48. I have completed all of these, but would like finished files for some reason or another.
