Hey,
don´t know what happened, and don´t know if it´s just me!?
A couple of bugs just popped up:

1. All scores and settings dissapeared (All highscores, all userlevelscores, it´s like I just would have downloaded the game
2. Userlevelscores uncallable (not only mine, there aren´t scores of anybody)
3. Underclock-mode does not work - The advert which adjust you to set up the time reward dissapeared

I really hope you know what´s going on, beacuse right now, I´m just like "Wtf"?

Did you have a backup of your sol file? In that case, just replace it with the backuped one.

I don´t know both what a "sol file" is neither what a "backup" is?

The .sol file, is N's savefile, it stores your scores, demos, config, etc, if its wiped, youll lose all your progress.
A backup is a security copy you make when you dont want to lose something, for instance, I backup my sol file daily.

I dont know if this is what has happened to you, maybe you should try to download NReality again, just in case, i dont know whats going on but trying things wont do anything bad so, you could try to download NReality again, and see if it fixes it.
If not, i dont know whats the problem, since you cant see userlevels and underclock mode doesnt work, it seems that the game has become corrupt or something like that, i dont think its problem of the savefile :)

EDIT: Im going to bed, Ill check this thread tomorrow

Underclock mode doesn´t work because all my progress I´ve done is wiped ---> Underlclock can´t work, because I haven´t complete any columns yet.

Btw. I can´t find a .sol file??

The n_v14b_userdata.sol, or ".sol", is the file that contains all your scores, demos, config, preferences, etc.

Its located here:
Windows Vista, 7:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\random series of letters and numbers\localhost

Windows 2000, XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\random series of letters and numbers\localhost

Windows 95, Me:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\random series of letters and numbers\localhost

*Application Data and subfolders will be hidden.
**For Windows users, you can directly access the Application Data/Roaming folder of your account by entering '%appdata%' into explorer.
Im going to bed now, so I wont be able to reply anymore, Ill check this thread tomorrow, i hope you'll have luck trying to solve it :D I know this sucks a lot

This is strange that it just all the sudden deleted. Did you just download the newest version of NReality? This is a known glitch if so. The Newest version of NReality always seem to mess up everyone's .sol the first time they play after downloading it.

If not and this just happened out of the blue, you may want to PM Unreality, he may be able to help, but if your progress is truly gone you will just have to rebeat the levels. But don't worry all of your records are safely stored on n.infunity.com and this will give you the change to revisit a level that you may come up with a great innovation for.

No, you don't need to rebeat

NReality has top 20 recovery function, Shift click (or ctrl click, I forgot) the score, then you will see that the score will be downloaded to your N.

Especially most of your runs are top 0th underclock. I believe most of your runs are retriev-able even when your sol is totally wiped

Yeah, but I can´t unlock underclock because I didn´t complete the 6 columns yet, which are needed to unlock the mode.
Man, I´m so dissapointed. All 1000 level scores + All userlevels completed, coming with N (Even Space Hub and Pyramid) + Other 1000 userlevels :/, so many years of work, everything is gone.
Please help me!

Unreality, that's not true. Remember my troubles with the highscore recovery function in this thread? So the thing is, you can recover scores, but you CAN'T recover progress. The episodes that you've recovered show up under the "play game" menu as completed but you can't click them. Besides, there are annoying glitches which mean that using the recovery system can make you LOSE flavours from your .sol and there's no way of getting them back, amongst other glitches. >:(

By the way, although I was using v6c2 when I wrote that thread, I did it again with v6d4 and it still has the same problems.

Fdan: Look for your .sol file in the place that EddyMataGallos said. If it's like 44KB or something really small like that, your progress just got wiped totally. If you're on Windows 7, your system should have a backup. Try right-clicking on the file and select "Restore previous versions".
