Jamskrusha Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 I've hosted a Vintage Story world with a few friends for multiple months now (single player world hosted through internet, not a true server) and hit a large problem. My SSD recently gave out, taking the world file (amongst other things) with it. Whilst I am going to attempt to recover files off of it, I was looking to see if there was a quicker and potentially easier fix so that we can still play on that world? Essentially, is there a version of the world file that exists on the computers of the people who joined, or is it time to start fresh? Alternatively, are there any places I could look to find backups on my own PC, as Vintage Story has always been installed on a different drive.

To my knowledge, no. The world file exists on the host computer only. If the drive containing that file died, then you're probably out of luck unless you have the tools and knowledge to recover data from a broken drive(assuming the data is even recoverable). While it is possible to make world backups, the backups are stored on the same drive as your other worlds, so unless you moved those files to a different drive yourself... I would say either be patient and try to salvage the data from the broken drive first, if you're really attached to that particular world. Otherwise, it's likely easier to just start over fresh. A fresh start means new scenery and the chance to improve your skills from previous worlds. 1
