Ludwig shocked after YouTube deletes 100 hours of Elden Ring gameplay YouTube: Mogul Mail \/ FromSoftwarePopular streamer Ludwig was floored after losing over 102 hours worth of Elden Ring gameplay footage. The 26-year-old\u2019s five day stream was deleted by YouTube permanently. To celebrate the release of Elden Ring, former Twitch star Ludwig Ahgren planned a five day stream to beat the new epic developed by FromSoftware. After completing the game for viewers, the Mogul Money creator was stunned when his entire broadcast was deleted. The YouTuber explained how he lost 102 hours of footage. Ludwig\u2019s 100 hour Elden Ring stream deleted The content creator addressed the situation in his February 27 upload titled \u201cYouTube failed me.\u201d In the video, Ahgren explained that the Google-owned platform deletes VODs that go over a certain length of time. \u201cI just did one of the most impressive feats I\u2019ve ever done, I played Elden Ring, and streamed it all until I beat the game. This took me 100+ hours total of uptime and 60 hours on in-game time,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a big big problem. YouTube kind of failed me. The way it works on YouTube is you can stream as long as you want, but if the VOD goes above 12 hours, then it won\u2019t be saved. And my VOD was 102 hours, and none of it was saved.\u201d Ludwig then explained that his backup failed him as well. \u201cMy local recording failed. So the only VOD I have of my run is the very beginning and the last boss,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd all the middle is gone. Forever. It\u2019s kind of a bummer. It\u2019s just a little bit of a bummer. You just find some kinks in the switch every few weeks.\u201d Adding salt to the wound, Ahgren\u2019s Elden Ring stream ended up being his most-viewed YouTube video ever. \u201cIt was my most viewed video ever. This stream got over 4 million views,\u201d he stated before asking his fans to send him any footage they may have saved from the 100-hour stream. \u201cThis is a call, if anyone out there has any of the VOD and wouldn\u2019t mind, give me some clips, full length whatever it is. I\u2019ll take anything if you want to shoot it over to me like in a Google Drive link or DM me on Twitter. To anyone who\u2019s excited to watch it, I\u2019ll try my best to piece it together. Hopefully, we can recover it.\u201d Ludwig clarified that he didn\u2019t fully blame YouTube as he knew their policy. However, it still hurt to lose his entire Elden Ring playthrough. \u201cI was a bit of dumb a** and have to own that. But dude, it was so many days of my life! And I\u2019m losing all of it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
