So i haven't been playing my gog games very often lately, but i decided to play a game that i haven't played in a while, only to find that the save files had been lost! I'm not a particularly knowledgable person when it comes to software, but the only factors i can think of that may have caused this are my system updating from OSX Yosemite to El Capitan and the gog galaxy updating. The unusual thing that really gets me is that some games have lost their files and some haven't.

As far as i know i have only lost the files to Huniepop, Hatoful Boyfriend and Kingdom.
If anyone could help me out and help me shed some light on this issue i would be very grateful. I certainly wouldn't want the 22Hrs 40Mins (that i know of) to have gone to waste ^^

[EDIT]: So i looked through a couple more games and all seems fine, so it seems that Hunie and Hatoful are the only games that have suffered a file loss. Hunie is no great loss, i only got that game for a laugh and i could grind back all the achievements in no time if i wanted. However, i would like to recover the Hatoful files, as i have stated i had a fair bit of progress. I will do some digging through finder and see if it is merely an error with the file system as tomyam80 has suggested.

Will keep you posted!

 
You could use <span class="bold">EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac</span> to scan your hard drive and safely recover lost files.  It's totally free.

I hv heaard of ppl's save games disappearing b4 but the exact cause is unknown & may be different for each case. My guess is sometimes updating game might caused a change in the location of saved games to a dfferent folder thus appearing that u may hv 'lost' the prev saved games when u look for them in-game.

If u know the saved games' names & is very sure u didn't delete them urself by mistake or otherwise but dun find them in ur computer anymore thru search then u may write in to GoG Support with the details (like did the saved games disappear only aft u did a certain action) & u shd get a response in a couple of days.

...is this really such a bad thing?

ZeoGold, here at GoG we do not judge other players based on the content of their accounts. But the content of their game play!

I judge them on the content of their puzzles.

Yet you failed to solve two riddles (questions) earlier this week=p

Hey, people arrived earlier than I did. It may SEEM like I'm on here 24/7, but I'm not.
...ok, usually I am, but come on, I have a semi-life too, y'know.
YOU didn't even show up on ANY of my puzzles, so watch who you're accusing, buddy boy.

Can you blame me? You posted a frickin thesis as a puzzle that by the way requires me to take out a paper and pencil! That's not a puzzle that is saw (movie) level torture with a hint of blueberry!

Ok, I'll admit, I laughed.
Still, that's how I roll, buddy boy. Either you're committed to it or you fall with the weak.
Complain too much and I'll give you one right here, right now! I derail threads without mercy!

Hey now, that's tinyE's job :-D

Given your love of puzzles, I do recommend ZFR's Esoteric Challenge puzzles. The giveaways are long over of course, but the puzzles are definitely worth solving just for fun:

Esoteric Challenge

Esoteric Challenge II

I'm used to a much different style of puzzle more akin to a riddle or murder mystery, but I'll check those out.
...somehow he still gets more attention than me, though.

Ok fair point Huniepop is no great loss XD
But Hatoful i was halfway through the 'promise' storyline and i had half the endings and half the archive filled, i don't want that to go to waste. Plus, there might be more.

In all seriousness, I'm no tech expert (read: I know nothing about anything to do with computer stuff except how to play games and use Google), but if all else fails and you can't recover your files, Hatoful Boyfriend is a visual novel (sort of). I have no doubt that there is no shortage of videos on YouTube which play through every single possible route. You could always just watch it happen there instead.

I could, but i don't for the very same reason i have refused to touch a path guide for the game, it's something i want to explore for myself and just like with a book, it's much nicer to read at your own pace than it is to listen to someone else read it.
I know it's something i can just do over, but it does suck to be set back about 10 hours of gameplay (probably 8 or 9 of actual progress)
