I opened one of my UEFN projects after the release of the new season to find it completely broken. The level was completely empty and all of my verse code failed. I tried again today but am now no longer able to open the project anymore, when i try i am met with an error message reading ''Project file is erroneous".

Steps to Reproduce
This issue was brought up randomly after the new season, unsure of how to reproduce
I have backed up this project many many times to revision control, but even the saves there have been deleted/are inaccessible. This project means a LOT to me.
Having the Project Files inside a OneDrive backed up folder is a bit of an issue. It could be the reason
What UEFN changes is not often acknowledged by OneDrive, and sometimes it restores Deleted or Changed Content, which can cause issues.
Syncing to a different snapshot, becomes troublesome because, what OneDrive has restored is left in the Project Folder and conflicts with the newly synced content.
Make a new Folder outside of OneDrive, like C:\Fortnite Projects, open UEFNâs Editor Preferences and Add an Array Element to the Project Folders setting and point it to the new folder.
Then close UEFN and open Windows Explorer, make another folder like C:\TempHoldingFolder
Now go to the folder ../../Users/../../Documents/Fortnite Projects and move the entire Fortnite Projects folder to C:\TempHoldingFolder
Now Open UEFN and download the project, it should be getting saved into C:\Fortnite Projects
into a clean empty space.
Hopefully this does something, any projects that are not messed up can be moved from the TempHoldingFolder/Fortnite Projects to the new Fortnite Projects folder.
But if their content is unchanged from their last URC Check in, download them just incase.
Unfortunately didnât work. Although i found a way to get into my project file. When i enter, i get 27 verse build fail errors, and my level file is non-existent, despite having the umap file in the project folder. Also, my 50 or so revisions are just not there. I really have no idea what has happened.
However I did find a backup version that iâd saved almost half a year ago - the text file has the exact same title (not sure if that could create problems), reading:
It seems there may be more files missing / corrupted.
Have you used Unreal Revision Control and used the CHECK IN CHANGES button on the bottom right side of the editor when you were working on your project?
