I was referring to going into your ark\shootergame\saved\savedarkslocal folder and making a backup of TheIsland.ark file (ex. TheIslandBackup.ark) and then going into the client and starting a game with your mod. But, if you are simply looping back to the main menu, then there is something else wrong. If you were attempting to play on a previously saved game with modifications to the playerpawntest, the changes would not take effect until you reset the map. Oddly enough, your character doesn’t have to be reset. As to why you can’t get past primalgamedata_BP loading, is your primalgamedata_BP_(custom) parented to the original? Is your testgamemode_(custom) duplicated? In test game mode you need to set the player pawn class to playerpawntest_(custom).
