Hmm ok I printed out the Save game data. In a stand alone I got “BP_SaveGame_C0” and it saved ok on a few occasions so I did a build. In the build, I got BP_SaveGame_C2147393…(10 digit number) and the first save worked and the 2nd did not but with the same print out.
i’m also noticing that this is very easy to reproduce when i’m recording my gameplay with OBS. It’s much more rare when i’m just playing the game. Are there any work arounds? Like what is the point of the branch coming out of the Save Game to Slot? How could I use that to make sure the data saves?
another thing i notice is when i’m doing things like earning points in the persistent map everything saves fine even when i’m recording with OBS. it’s when i save something and then go to a new level that it’s failing sometimes.
for example, i save my location before going to a new level. (a shop). In the shop things are saved and when I go back to the main level - sometimes the location is not saved (something I saved in the persistent level) or sometimes things I did in the shop are not saved (things I save in that shop level). sometimes it could be both. so it doesn’t matter which level i do the saving…it’s just this going back and forth between levels when it seems to fail.
Thanks for the help with this. Any other ideas?
