I am a beginner but when I create a project and save it close and reopen the project it does not save its back to square one. I press control space to see if anything is saved and every thing the I made it still there it just does not load. This problem has been happing since I download unreal and I don’t know how to fix it please help!!!
Hey there @Tootiediagram! Welcome to the community! Are all assets missing or is it just the map itself remaining the same? If it’s the map, this issue can sometimes stem from using one of the default maps such as minimal_default. If possible, make a duplicate of the map and place it somewhere else in your content folder and work from that one. Does the issue still occur?
So ill take a wild guess and say this is you making changes to a world and you are loading this world, so your changes are on that world, double check to see if your settings are on the start world that you want. If that isn’t the fix then you may need to give more incite on what is happening.
CAN U EXPLAIN FURTHER
Hey there again @Tootiediagram, certainly! I believe your issue is related to an issue in which the engine source version of a base map is used that makes it impossible to keep changes. It’s recommended to make a copy of the map, or even create another map entirely. This issue was common around the time you commented so it was my first guess.
If this is not the case and you cannot save any changes done to any maps, especially newly created maps, then it’s possible there is an issue with Unreal not having permission to write to the drive you started the project on.
is this even is the newer versions like unreal enigne 5.3
Since the workaround is as quick as opening a new map I don’t often hear back from users facing the issues when I’ve recommended it, so it’s entirely possible however I cannot find an issue listed. Does this workaround work for you is this another issue altogether?
If the issue still persists, does Unreal have permission to write to the project location at all times?
it worked but the issue still occurs in unreal engine 5.3 tho
to resolve this issue first click edit then project settings and then locate maps and modes and issues will be resolved but make sure to save all
now its doing this
now its showing me ramdom files every thim i open a new project
is crashing now every time i open
May I see the error logs?
nvm i fixed everything
thnks for the support
No worries, if I may ask, what was the fix in case other users come across the same issue in the future?
