My progress in all Adventure and games that require saving have been deleted! Steambirds, Arcuz, Raze, Dragon Boy, Elona Shooter, Rise of a King everything!
I've spent a long time and these games, especially Arcuz, going to level 17 and all.

I would really like to know. What should I do? Maybe I should just stop playing games...

Has this happened to anyone else? If it has what did you do?

All I can think off with this problem you present, is that you somehow deleted all the files on your computer that contained the saved game data...

All games here on AG that have saves in place, use your computer to store the saved game data. So it is likely something like this happened...

Did you empty your trashbin already? Maybe the data is still in there... :S

Otherwise I can only offer bad news... the data is gone and you have to start all over again...
Sorry...

I see your problem like what MrDayCee said it could have been the files on your computer were deleted or

you deleted your cookies or you cleaned your browser because sometimes this are the causes .

other than that I dont know why .

hope this helps . check your cookies men .

What browser are you using? Did you accidentally wipe your cookies, cache etc.?

And a good thing (try to look at the positiveness in this matter) is that you can start fresh with the games!

A whole new challenge for you there...

This has happened to me in Raze. I was in the Alein campaign and now I am back on level 5. D:

Yes knight might be correct. You could have accidentally wiped your cache or cookies.

The only explanation(s):

You (Or someone else) emptied your cookies. Ask your family.
The cookies expired
You have an automatic cookie delete feature
An error occurred with the cookies and they cannot be read (Highly unlikely with a large number)

One and two are most likely.

Flash save data don't really use cookies, I cleared my cookeis once and my save data is still there. If you reduce how much the game stores onto your computer, all your files will be deleted. You can check by right clicking the game and click settings.

That's why you adjust the settings so those utilities don't erase Temporary Internet Files.

Flash save data don't really use cookies


To add to that, Flash date/settings/savegames are saved as .sol/.swf files in a separate folder.

There's one way I know how to recover files that are already removed from the Recycle Bin. The utilities which do this are called, undelete utilities. If your files disappeared recently, there's a chance they may still be there. Though it's a long shot.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I do not use cookies and I (and my family) don't remember deleting any files or using any cleaning things.
I'll check my Recycle Bin in hopes of finding and restoring.
No, no there was nothing in there. I would like your opinions on what to do now...

1. Start every game all over again.
2. Play non-saving games.
3. Or stop playing games all togther.

The first option seems to be the best..

What OS are you using?

None of the above .

What you should do is continue to play games and do what you want to do don't ask us because we are not you do what you want to do .

That some good advice. But I think I would look for some way of recovering the saved stuff first before I go into a anti-games mode.
Whats an OS?
