Unity all messed up, in every single aspect

Okay, here's the deal... I have been working on my FPS project, disagned main menu, worked my ass off. Now, the problem is that i oftenly save EVERYTHING in my documents folder, by copying it to another partition. Now, after some of my jolly-ol'-scripting, who knows what have I done to mess almost everything up. But, fortunately, I had rollback on my other partition. Next. I delete EVERYTHING in my documents folder, and paste the backup from different partition. It doesn't change anything even for a bit. Okay. Again, delete everything in my documents folder, uninstall unity, restart pc, install unity, paste rollback in my documents... And nothing. How in earth can i fix this? And remember: the day I made backup of my documents, everything worked perfectly. So, naturally, that backup should work perfectly. But it won't and I keep having same errors even on new project. I have tried everything. I don't know how many of you tried DastardlyBanana fps package, good prefabs etc. Now, my player is messed up. The tricky thing is, even when I rollback, it doesn;t change a thing. Even if I changed the prefabs imported into Unity, uninstalling the Unity and rolling back data from 5 days ago, would fix it. I have tried everything, and I really, really don't know what it is. If I fail to repair this, I will format my hard drive, and say goodbye to Unity, and any engine in the future. I just can't. Every night I stayed trying to make something, and it's really getting on my nerves, that now, when I got familiar, and got really better in this, now it messed up. And I really don't have the nerve to mae everything again, i mean.. Fully animated 3d menu, camera animation, npc's, textures, filters, scripts, resources, and all.. Well you know people what I am saying. If anyone has ANY clue what this is, please tell me. I accept any longshot, even the ones with turn-around-three-times-and-repeat-yella'-canary.

Sorry, I can only share your pain ... and suggest you use a version control system next time. Good luck.

If you're looking for a hail mary attempt, you could try exporting the entire game into a unity package, and then importing it into a new blank project.

Also a question; when you backed up your stuff, did you duplicate the entire project folder? If so, did you open it by draggin stuff into a project, or did you open the duplicated project folder through unity?

No problem! I've had stuff like this happen, and sometimes it's the weirdest things things that fix it.

Also, it probably worked because the project itself was somehow corrupted (not the assets), so getting the assets into a new project fixed it.

Have you tried 'reset to factory default'?

This happened to me. Exporting the project as a unity package and reimporting saved the work. DastardlyBanana is a life saver!
