Yes you did. You are claiming that it still deletes files which simply isn't true.

If MS didn't confirm that game deleted files and that it doesn't now, technically there is really no confirmation. It is still in limbo.. *technically*

All I’m saying is that they have not confirmed us that it will not happen again, so it is safe to assume it has not been solved or else they would have spoken about it.

Aren't they not confirming it's fixed because they deliberately didn't directly admit that it was an issue in the first place? That was the impression I got.

That is indeed another possibility.

They also claim that there is no evidence of this happening.

Obviously they're not gonna admit it. They gain nothing by doing so and take on a lot of potential liability.

There is no guarantee that it will not delete your files anymore ,because they haven't confirmed it yet.

IDK if it is just me, but they would gain my trust.

Them not letting us know when and how they fixed the problem is the reason I had to ask you guys.

Anyway, not to be only negative, so far I like the game very much.

Well they don’t give a shit about your trust, what they do care about is the potential to be held liable for data loss. So even though it’s almost certain that the game was responsible for data deletion, they have 0 incentive to ever admit it.

Regardless of whether they admit or not, if someone can prove that game is the reason for data loss, they can still be held liable.

With a new laptop, I considered finally buying DE. So is this still happening to people or did they manage to fix it?

Well, they never spoke about it and blamed the "mods", so I guess it is still an issue.

But if there are no more reports about it happening, it seems like they solved it, possibly by accident
