Lost money - server wiped it all out ... tears!

Hi Admins and fellow Left4Dod'rs,

Earlier whilst playing, sadly for me and maybe others, noticed my left4dod money had been completely wiped by the server possibly after one of the cutllinkedlist overflow! (exhausted index range) error crashes?

It's been a few years since this has happened and the money had built up nicely so frustrating to see it all get wiped/lost ...

Is it possible to get the money back for me and any others affected?

Thanks - pravda

I set your money to the last known amount. I'm not sure how that happened but I'll look into it...

I think everyone was affected. In a related note, speaking of things being wiped out, my "Creepy Xperiment4" zombie is gone, along with all the other dedicated players' zombie names. I haven't been able to game as much the second half of this year, but I gamed in the server for years. In 2018, I spent countless hours alone in the broken server, trying to seed it and get people to play. It was my Steam home and I was still hanging onto nothing, hoping for better. Ultimately, the gameplay was so messed up, that just about everyone left. I would like my zombie name restored to the server.
