Backups are created for a reason.

I always knew that if you uninstall Steam, you loose everything in that folder. . Its common scents!!

I would hate to be you right now, no joke.

The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.

I didnt know Steam had a smell.

I did the same thing, lost my CoD4 level 55 profile. It's stored client side, and in the game folder, so when Steam deletes all of its subdirectories during un-install, it takes that with it.

And I hadn't backed up my Steam folder because it seemed like it was expendable data. Why should I archive gigs and gigs of game data that I can always re-download?

Or so I thought.

Anyways, good warning. You guys are very quick to make fun of someone trying to help out. Here; in kizzycocoa's thread. What's up with that?

Well Hober, it is how the internet works. Everyone attacks everyone about everything.

That's how 4chan works. It's not going to fly here.

You all can take that as an official warning: stop being jackasses.

I can't decide whether to POTD that or warn you.

Okay, I'm being overbearing. But seriously. Remmiz, you especially like to jump down people's throats. Just cool your jets.

Only weeding out the weak.

And now to get this thread back on topic, a few years back I removed Steam and lost my saves, kinda pissed me off. I am sure this will all be fixed when Valve launches the full Steam cloud after EP3 release.

Don't uninstall Steam!
