Hi everybody
A couple of weeks ago I had a catastrophic hardware failure on my windows 8.1 system. So now I have a new Asus running windows 10.
I thought I had backed up my HoS steam files, but was shocked to find I had not.
Result 1,000 hours of Steam Play time lost (many from experiments). Team Holy Rollers with all characters Level 50 or above Lost!
The original Holly Rollers was designed under HoS version 3.2.9 rules, and published 02/02/15. I'm glad to see the new threads about modifying the design, it's certainly overdo.
A new team design is on the horizon. So it's time to boost in and level up to get ready for future episode 4 content.
P.S. All of the player tables will be updated after the next major release of new HoS episode 4 content.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!
That's beyond shitty, and I'm sorry to hear that you lost so much data... Holy Rollers must have been hundreds by itself...
I for one hope to see a more aggressive strategy from ol' Balgair, perhaps using a slightly different crew.

John Robinson - I am very sorry to hear that! What terrible news. I highly recommend anyone to use Dropbox to back up your Trese Brothers Games on Steam!

Being a cave dweller who still uses a stone keyboard, could you provide a tip on how to get started with Dropbox? Are there special options for Steam Backups? Thnaks  |

There are features that will carry over because I have been having so much fun with them. |

What failed? It may be possible to recover the old files using a Linux disk and a USB hard drive adapter.

John Robinson Oh Noes!!! I wonder if you can still access your old HDD. Surely some magical wizard can extract stuffs off it?

slayernz ntsheep Thanks guys for jumping in! I might try something after Christmas. After several black screen boot failures, I had to push the power button down to get it to shut off. Once I got a message saying "Please install operating system" I also can't always get into Bios during bootstrap. I might pull the drive and send it to a guy that does forensics/restores. I needed a computer a.s.a.p. there could be just all kinds of fun getting files off the old 8.1 machine onto the new windows 10. It might be easier to take it out in the redwoods behind the house and execute it with my Twelve Gage. Then bury it in separate pieces. But Jeez I'd rather be playing HoS. Google saved a number of important files in the cloud and I needed my gmail right away. Would be a terrible time to work on a dead machine when I haven't ordered all my Amazon gifts for Sana's good little kiddies.

John Robinson - installing Dropbox on your computer creates a magical folder (the Dropbox folder) and anything you put in that folder gets backed up to the cloud. So, if you install it, you'd then link your save folders for Heroes of Steel (etc, any file) into that folder so that it is always backed up, whenever it is changed. Great product, recommended.

Isn't everything HoS on Steam Cloud? Or do I have to manually transfer data if I play HoS on another computer?

Excellent! Thanks for pointing out the right direction.  (I might ask another question once I try and make it work.. thanks again). |

OMG, same thing happened to me. My computer went kaput finally, and I didn't save my game. Oh well. The stupid do not learn from the mistake of the others  |
