Today I was modifying some stats of a DB pack file. When I was going to save the file it threw a message saying "unhandled exception (And something else of course)" and after quitting the message it threw another message much larger, which I don't remember what it said and after clicking OK the program closed. Then, I reopened Pack File Manager for searching again the file, and I noticed that it totally disappeared, it wasn't on the Empire Total War folder where it was. Then I downloaded and ran the program Recuva for trying to restore the file, I ran a scan and it showed a lot of files but it didn't show the file that Pack File manager erased, as if it never existed. Then I ran a Quick Scan with the Trial Version of EaseUS (A program for recovering files as well) and surprisingly it couldn't find the file as well. Now it's running a deep scan and it still hasn't found the file.
Now I wonder, why has Pack File Manager deleted my file that way, without leaving even a single trace of the file, and how? Or maybe it has moved the file to a mysterious folder or something? The great question is if I still have a chance to recover the pack file.
In the past, Pack File Manager erased a few pack files as well.
