The other day I tried to play Tomb Raider for the first time after installing it a few months back but I got some error message. But since then Ive gotten an SSD, moved all my stuff on my 2TB HDD to an external, formatted the drive and then moved it all back. Most of the games have been working fine, but tomb raider said that it had 10GB of data on my local disk, and didnt find anything wrong when I verified the files. But when I looked, there werent actually any files for it anywhere, so I had to "remove" files and reinstall.
Then just now, I tried to start L4D2, and it told me I was missing a DLL file, so I verified the install, and its now downloading 7.4GB of missing files.
Whats going on, and why are my files vanishing?
Could it be something to do with my HDD turning off after being idle for 30 mins?
Any help would be wonderful thanks
