Summary

This error comes up on almost every single island now : The world contains invalid actor files. Click the repair button to repair them. ( however this does not work )
Most of the devices have disappeared, the island setting device is gone, certain walls or props are gone.
Imported fab content is on the island but not in referenced content, no access to it.
I have made a report about this, status was waiting validation and then it got closed without a solution and or answers.
other creators are experiencing the same issue, and we have no idea what is causing this.
Removing fab content, does not help, restarting uefn, does not help. Even reinstalling windows does not do the trick.

Steps to Reproduce

the repair button should work, and or have a in-dept file as to what is causing the issue

Expected Result

To have a repair button that works, to have a proper solution as to what is causing this issue, so this can be fixed. to have proper communication without a bug report being closed cause there are older threads? who do not have any kind of solution! hence people are coming back to ask if anybody has figured it out yet.

Observed Result

To have a proper explanation as to what this error means, and what to do about this.

Platform(s)

pc

Additional Notes

The error needs to be fixed and information needs to be provided as to what this means and what needs to be done in order to fix this. I have been going round and round for days!

Can anybody pick this up please, more and more people are coming forward with the same issue. A lot of people are actually affected by this. Also posted the same issue on the discord server, and yup, more people are saying the same thing. A lot of people are losing out because of this. this has been going on since the beginning of the week.

people are asking the same question now, if we have fab content on our islands. and so far everybody does. Is there a problem in Fab that is causing this error? We literally are stuck and can not continue working

Did you figure anything out? Same problem here, happened after today’s tiny update

Just figured this out! You have to delete files from the “References” folder inside your project folder. Then you revert files from the Revision control, and everything comes back

The thing is tho, you close the editor, lets say you have finished your work. Next time when you open it again, the error is back, well atleast for, and unfortunately that has not failed, every single time.

The only thing that i have to do at the moment to try out, is migrate the assests from unreal engine itself. But that also means that i have to change my packs status, cause the vault packs are a bit more expensive. I have read with others that it has worked for them, so lets hope for the best. I hope i will be able to do so in the next few days, and as soon as i know wether or not this works, i will let you know.

I am having the same problem, where do I find the “references”?
