Ok guys n girls, this is REALLY important.
Last night i got a virus attack on my PC and it seems like there is -NO WAY- to save ANY datas which were on it.
This means: my new computer will be BLANK and reset from the very beginning.
---So before you guys ask, im right now sitting on my old outdated Laptop (which still barely works...) which i now try to update and get running. That means i need to update a lot stuff on this one too.---
SO how big IS the lose?
Basicly, everythingwhat i got and did AFTER -AUGUST 2019- is pretty much gone.
Counting up:
- All Artistical files are lost from there.
-- GLADLY to say that i uploaded basicly all artwork i did as "smol" version. So the base versions might be lost but the edited versions "with background smallen by 50%" are there. So here i can say, its not a to big lose and i might download all the art i uploaded since myself and copy them on a external hardrive which i ordert.
-- Artwork i commissioned/fanart is also lost. i have to check my pages if i actually did commission people in this time coz im not sure. If i did im sure i will find them in my fav gallerys around my pages. In case i DID commission you or you made a fanart from me, PLEASE leave a comment so i know where i can find it (best with a link to it).
- Game builds & datas a LOST
-- THAT basicly means ALL new builds from the games i had are LOST in total and also means i C-A-N-T update them coz the builds i "might" still have from them on my old laptop are pretty much useless.
--- FOR THAT IN particular: Starvixen gets NO UPDATES ANYMORE. I lost the gamefile of the last build, the pictures, fixes and extra files. I cant create another upgrate anymore for this game ANYMORE. Thats kinda a shame tbh but, gladly, the last update fixed already a lot and added also a lot. So sadly to say but version 1.1 is now the finaly version...
--- That also means Stiff Diggings 2 main datas are also lost from my end, i HOPE glitchydust has still a copy.
--- AND HERE THE VERY BIG LOSE: Some journals ago i was teasing i work on a new game. Well...you can guess that pretty much all i did for it is also lost forever. It was already 40-50% done and yea...its also gone forever. IF i will start over, i cant tell since i have a lot to upgrate and download again so i doubt i will have the time for it...next to this it was already very deep in the production, i doubt i would restart over. Sure a shame but yea...
- Program installs are lost
- Music is (at least) 99% saved since i upload them on my MP3 player on a monthly base so only the ones from last month (kinda till mid march) are lost. not to big since i have them saved on youtube.
- Steam savefiles AND games are lost
-- This actually will be a big fucker here for me since i have here only very slow internet (for todays standarts) - problem IS: it is not like i dont wanna faster internet, more that we are NOT ABLE to get any faster ones since there IS no faster ones around here....whiiiich is bullsheat. So downloading all the games "again" will sure take some days for sure...mostly the bigger ones.
So thats all i can say for now. Right now i download a Windows 10 installer for my PC on an USB drive so that i can try over again. Its all i can say and do for now. If i know more i will tell more for sure but as for now thats all i can say. Stay tuned if i know more or "might" be able to even save stuff...just wish me some luck here guys n girls...

Is there anyway to ask an computer expert or something about pc virus attacks?... :(
WAtheAnum
i have gladly some friends on TS and discord which help me out but they pretty much say what i thought already: if the virus already attacked my hardrive and windows 10 SO HARD that i cant even boot it up already, than there is very little chance that i could save my datas WITHOUT getting the virus carried with it. so better doing a reinstall in total before this is even an opinion, infecting my other stuff with it should be a no-go.
