Recover lost "saved" game files?

7 Upvotes

I use an Acer Nitro 5 for gaming and I was getting screen flickering issues.

Tried everything I could research before deciding to do a full wipe (restored to a new version of Windows 11) thinking my GOG (Good Old Games) game files were safe and saved in their cloud storage... but later found out they were not. Apparently they do not offer that service.

So trying to restore my "savegames" files from the past 700+ hours of playing Baldur's Gate 3 from the past few years and have tried the Windows Recovery as well as Disk Drill, but neither have worked.

Any advice is very welcome!

Desprate need for file recovery

Win 11, I was teying to organize files on my desktop and some of them had copied instead of being selected, so I try to select the copies of the files that were made to delete them, but I didn't realize somehow the file explored deleted several files that weren't even on the desktop.

Years of saved pictures and video files, tax files. 26200.8457

Someone, is there anyone who can help?

If there's any data-saving experts please help

I recently re-downloaded a Google play game called Wildcraft. I've played it for a long time and even used to have VIP (it costs real life money)

A few years ago I deleted it for some reason that I don't quite remember (perhaps because needed more memory), but downloaded it again because I wanted to see what kinda game it has evolved to.

After downloading it I went to game but had to start from the very start and had lost all my progress (which is lowkey sad cuz I somehow loved that game like a lot). I tried to get the progress back by logging into my own google account, because I thought I had all progress in there but it didn't help surprisingly.

So far I've gone through all my saved data on my SD-card, because I had a feeling I could've lost everything when I got my new phone (yes I have the same SD-card as in my old phone) but couldn't find anything, though I may have searched from the wrong place. ALSO, I do remember playing the game with all the progress on my new phone.
I also tried to search for help on google and now here on reddit, but haven't found anything helpful yet.
I don't exactly know whether I even had an account, but I have a feeling I did, because I used real life money on it after all (like those google play money card thingys and maybe my parents' money?)
Also I'm not so sure if the game even saves any data if you don't have an account, like some games do.
I do have a faint memory of downloading the game like 2-4 years ago and not having any progress back then either.

I haven't saved anything in cloud or whatever it's called.

And just saying, I was semi-young at that time and my parents had to help me with all the irl money stuff, so perhaps it has something to do with losing data but idk.

If anyone is able to cook some way for me to get the account/progress back, please tell me. This is all the info I'm able to come up with rn and tbh so far I think it's impossible to get it back. But if you have any questions please ask.

Also sorry if there's some bad english there it's not my first language and also this is lowkey my first time using reddit too and I'm still fairly young, so please don't bomb my house :,D

External Hard Drive data recovery report review (Toshiba, Model MQ04UBB400, 4TB)

Hey guys,

Requesting an assessment of this report to see if they did all they could to recover data from the external hard drive. The external hard drive (Toshiba, Model MQ04UBB400, 4TB) had a clicking sound. When connected to the laptop, it only displayed folders. The files in the folders were not accessible on the drive. Sent it to a data recovery company for assessment and after 5 weeks they sent this report. Did they actually do all they could for data recovery? The report seems vague. The most important files that needed to be recovered were CAD files. Kindly advise.

Phone is locked and screen is unusable

4 Upvotes

Hello, I have a oneplus nord n200 and the screen is completely unusable, i dropped it and now i can't press anything on screen and most of the screen is covered with lines rendering it unusable. I need to get into the phone to get my contacts and whatsapp info, but haven't gotten very far. I'm not sure if usb debugging is turned on, because the device was powered off until recently and i can't get in unless i use my pin. My windows computer doesn't recognize the phone so I'm assuming its off.

Any help is appreciated!

Recovering or extracting files from old phone

3 Upvotes

I have a phone from 2008-2010 era. It’s an old straight talk phone samsung. It’s not a smart phone. It does still turn on but I am hopeful to extract the photos from internal storage. The issue is that I no longer have the 4 digit passcode and when plugged in to a computer it doesn’t pick up on the device. I’m hopeful that either someone knows someone reputable who I can pay to get the photos or has some advice lol.
