Hi I was using UE4 my pc died but I had copied my whole unity folder so thought I could paste it and it would work. No luck … It crashes. I can remove the intermediate and Saved and it will load the level so I at least have the materials set up and meshes but they are not placed in the level .

So I was wondering what file on my pc holds the place lighting info and placed assets info ?

Thanks so much for any info or help !!! MUCH APPRECIATED !

Hi Jenter3d,

The placement of lights and objects in your scene is saved in the .umap files for your level. If you’re computer crashed/died without saving the placement of these assets you will not have a way of getting this back without loading a backup or an auto-saved map file in the Saved folder. If you deleted this folder that back up map file would be lost as well.
