poptartjake Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) What if I reboot my pc to factory settings? Do I keep my origin/steam games & saves or do I lose them... Peace, Wax A Assuming "factory settings" is the same as a reformat/clean install, then I know you'll keep the games as they should be tied to the Steam account (can't speak for Origin), but I'm not sure if the game data is stored on their servers or locally. EDIT: It looks like the game data is stored locally in your steam install folder under the SteamApps folder.

Eliot Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Your computer will have nothing on it, so you will need to redownload the games from Steam, enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoomScape Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 That's like asking if you reset your laptop will your RS account be resetted also... Can't you make back up files for the folders you wish to keep? ex: copy and paste the folders to a usb.Yes, but he'll need a USB that can hold all the files. Redownloading the games won't affect anything, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
