All AoE Files deleted

[aligator92]

This is a very urgent matter.
I just ran the EP launcher as usual and apparantly it reset my entire MyGames/AoEIII directory. All subdirectories like Homecities and Savegames are empty and all my settings like resolution, UI options are reset to default.
It is not a disk issue, every document on my computer seems fine. Is it possible that the EP launcher accidentally overwrites/resets all these files?

highly improbable.

So I used some backups of my game files and this time they were not overwritten/reset. Has anyone ever experienced something like that?

Are you sure you didn't do anything like system restore or anything of that sort?

[aligator92]

nope nothing. It showed that all files were altered last at the time I ran the launcher
