So I was playing Terraria yesterday as normal. When I finished, I shut my pc down, windows did an update while shutting down, I never turned off the power to the wall. I turned my pc on again today to play Terraria and the new world that I've been playing on had disappeared.
I generated this world after the 1.4 update and enabled cloud saving. I looked into my "Worlds" folder and found the backup file. After deleting the .bak extension I loaded up the world again, but the backup world that was there was an older version. I had lost about 50 hours of progress. So, I went to look in my recycle bin and I find my world in there without the .bak extension. Terraria had quite literally deleted its own world. Even still, the world in the recycle bin was the same, older version of the world for some reason and neither of my files allowed me to recover the world from cloud saves. I don't understand how my world had disappeared and even still, why cloud saving didn't work in the slightest.
My Character was intact from what I can tell, but most of my builds, everything in my chests and my fishing quest progress has all been setback 50~ hours. I'm not even in hardmode anymore. This has completely ruined my experience with Terraria. I've been playing since May of 2011, I've put nearly 1300 hours into this game, but I can't see myself playing this game again any time soon. I feel completely demoralised and unmotivated to get back to where I was, mainly because it was on Master Mode. It was such a slog getting to where I was, and now it seems it was mostly for nothing.
My steam library is installed on my HDD, while only Windows 10 and some core files are installed on my SSD. My HDD is maybe less than 2 years old, bought new in store. My worlds and character files are also installed on my HDD.
