I have the autosave enabled on my projects. It saves every 10 minutes. However, the autosave folder only has some .uasset files of plugins/assets i’ve used. Asked around the discord and many people have this problem.
Autosave is fundamental to Unreal Engine. Is there a way to improve this? Perhaps on my side, perhaps on the developers side? Or is there a script or tool that helps with autosaves? It’s quite crucial.
What is it that doesn’t work?
What kind of edits are you actually losing?
If what you really want is a way to back up to a previous version of some assets or levels, then a source control system would be a better choice. Git or Perforce have integration straight in the editor IIRC.
Thanks, sorry for the late reply. My issue was that the auto-save did not create backups of the file (i.e. Autosave project_1, _2 etc.) in the designated folder. So if my project becomes fubar for some reason, I cannot revert back to an older version. This feature is quite common in other programs such as the entire Adobe suite, hence my surprise.
