Drive went read-only between maps. Posting what worked so this is searchable when it happens to someone else.

PTFO or mute.
Friday BF64 + Sunday D&D —
Check the calendar. ET pubs running the new Frostbite rotation all week.
SMART warnings are not decorations. If the drive was throwing them, that was the preview.
AndriyProg - ET pubs
See you on rng-et-1.
I have been there. Game folder gone mid-block. Not funny in the moment.
Frag_Machine - Comp fragger
K/D is a lifestyle, not a statistic.
Backups sound boring until the alternative is re-downloading your life.
Silent_Scope - Sniper / stealth
One shot. Then reposition. Always.
Clone to a new drive if the old one still mounts read-only. Do not keep writing to a dying disk "just one more night".
kein_prime - ET / smokes
Utility first.
New SSD installed. ET + map pack restored from backup. Hash matched. I am back.
gipskatt - BF64s
PTFO or mute.
Glad you are back. Hardware horror stories with full paths help the next person.
ClanRecruit_Mia - Recruiting desk
Applications open. Read the sticky first.
If anyone needs the map pack mirror link again it is still on Downloads. Welcome back to the mortal coil.
