If you have done this and turn on UAC again, your content will come back, but be a TOTAL mess because if you've downloaded more stuff with UAC off, then that will be invisible when you turn UAC on, and vice versa. See the second paragraph in "Features" in the article on User Account Control. So in your case, if you had UAC on, installed a ton of games, then later got sick of UAC and turned it off, this would happen as you described. If you turn off UAC, that will no longer happen, and as an awesome bonus, it will no longer know about the files that it virtualized. UAC does thing evil thing where if a program tries to write to a "protected" area like Program Files, EVEN IF YOU ARE ADMINISTRATOR, when you get a UAC prompt and give permission, it actually writes any files that would normally go into that directory into a "virtualized" directory somewhere else. If you are on Windows 7 or Windows Vista, and you have UAC set to ON, then change it later to OFF, this can happen.

I know of only one way that this can happen in windows, and has nothing to do with Steam other than their not-so-great decision to install all content into Program Files.
Worms crazy golf bug manual#
COD:MW2 couldn't possibly have had 11 GB of updates, right? Either way I am sticking to manual backups from now on, Steam's are too slow and obviously unreliable. How can I prevent this from happening again?ġThe re-downloading could be because there were updates to the games, but I don't think so since the downloads were the size of the entire games.My account doesn't appear to have been suspended or anything. Did I do something "wrong"? I was the one doing all of the actions, setting up and playing, though who knows what their heuristics thought of it.Why did Steam erase everything? Is this a known issue?.My steamapps\common folder on the hard drive was empty and nothing could be recovered with undelete tools.

I believe this is the point where it erased everything because the log-in window came back up about thirty seconds later and, while it remembered my username, it didn't remember my password and otherwise looked like it does when you start it up the very first time.Īfter signing in none of my games were marked as installed, and my Favorites menu was empty (and ended up empty on the other PCs as well). Instead of logging in it said something like "Exiting", the main window flashed briefly, and it exited. (Despite this, Steam reported that it was syncing to Steam Cloud when I exited.)įinally I started Steam on Computer A before connecting to the internet, and it naturally gave me a connection error. Next I started up Worms Crazy Golf on B and exited Steam when I realized that B didn't have my saves since the game doesn't use Steam Cloud.

Then I put Steam into Offline Mode on Computer C, and logged in on Computer B again. I then signed in on Computer C, forcing Computer B to be logged out.

Today I completed some of the downloads on Computer B (COD1 and Worms Crazy Golf). In the end this exercise was entirely useless since Steam wanted to download the entire games again anyways. This was a bit problematic it failed once, then again when I tried in Offline Mode, and worked the third time although there were connection issues and I had trouble getting Steam to exit after it finished. Yesterday I restored part of a backup (made on Computer A several months ago) to Computer B. There were no issues with this other than the normal needing to coordinate which one is signed in at what time. I've had my Steam account in use on 3 computers for months, and added a fourth about a month ago. Here's my setup and what I've done recently that could be related (I'm including probably too much detail in the hopes it helps someone figure out what happened): Steam just erased all my games without warning.
