All my skins are gone!

[Reflected]

I jsut discovered that ALL my custom skins are gone. I ran a repair 2 days ago, maybe it was that? It's a major issue as I don't have any backup of many of those skins. Has anyone else noticed this?

Repair shouldn't delete skins. You have them in root folder or in saved games?

Root folder.

Root folder.

Like program files....dcs open beta

Repair should not remove extra files, only re-download modified game files from the ED servers. Cleanup, on the other hand, will aboslutely kill every single thing that isn't vanilla DCS in in root folder if you give it permission to.

 

Perhaps you ran the latter instead of the former?

 

All custom liveries should go into /Saved Games/dcs.openbeta/Liveries/MODULENAME

 

Sorry if you lost your files! That sucks big time.

if you saved them in the root game folder there should be a folder called

 

_backup.#

 

all custom liveries should be in the saved games folder

As mentioned above you should use your saved games folder for liveries, then DCS will ignore them when doing repairs

 

a repair should create a backup folder in dcs root location so they should be there.
