Lost a backup file...Need Help!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I accidentally lost the original masked Kane pac file "ch107.pac".

Can someone please upload this file on any site? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I already did this. Go to the request section topic about the Kane pac

You can, of course, just backup your game folder and let Steam Verify your game cache. It'll re-download any non-original game files including the ones you're missing. Then you switch the folders again and copy whichever original file you need to the game directory. Keep the unmodified folder as backup so you can always restore the original files.

I thought of doing that but Steam will replace many files that I had previously modded and I don't want to re-mod my whole game just for one file.

Thanks for the help though. I already got the original file that jakeab1995 had posted on another thread.

I made a backup folder before installing any mods because I knew I'd end up needing one of the original's. Glad to help!

Yeah, but if you backup your modded folder first and have steam clean the files up, you can then swap the folders and will have a clean backup to copy original files from in case it happens again. :)
I always keep a copy of the clean, unmodded installation of the game as a backup so I can easily copy any unmodded files over I might mess up. I also keep backups of my save folder. 
 It's proven invaluable to me.
