After making small changes to my map like for example adding grass to stand on or if i just make settings changes on a device i cant save any of my changes and i cant launch a session. a popup says “Unable to play” “Dirty assets could not save” What are dirty assets and how do i prevent this from happening?
I asked support for help and he gave me a link to these forms so i guess support cant help either.
Any help would really be appreciated…
I have encountered this same error the moment i tried launching the session, i haven’t found a solution to this problem, if this is an issue on Epic’s end then i hope they fix it ASAP!
I finally found a temporary fix… turns out its login issues with revision control… for now all you have to do is click on revision control at the bottom right of your screen then click on change revision control settings then disable revision control.
*This is only a temporary fix since this only saves your changes locally and you cant view your creations in creative 1.0.
Hey all I just encountered this error a moment ago and after messing with things I noticed the revision control in the very bottom right corner was able to be interacted with so I clicked on it. Upon clicking on it I noticed it was inactive for some reason so I activated it and it saved all changes made then there was no longer any issue.
this problem can’t to be fix it ? beacause it’s really rage i can’t save any thing and when i leave i find every thing delete and i must build it again
For now disable revision control… unfortunately you wont be able to edit maps with your friends but youll be able to save things
Its the login to revision control… epic has to fix it and yeah it is getting on my nerves too
After months of trying to figure it out I finally found the real fix
The problem is I was trying to store my file under OneDrive.
Make sure you’re not storing your file under OneDrive… change it to another folder …
For example when choosing the blank island template right next to the Project Name click the Browse for a folder button… click on for example Download folder click Select folder and then create your island… it should definitely work now!!
Hey @SugaryMadness , yes indeed. Having 2 different source control system fighting for the same files can cause conflicts like dirty assets.
We make a small reference to it within the best practices documentation that can be found here:
stating:
Do not enable multiple revision control methods outside of Unreal Revision Control, enabling multiple revision control or backup systems on the same project/location in your filesystem can end up causing unexpected behavior since there won’t be a clear source of truth for either to reference.
