How am I supposed to save a level without buildings missing?

I've been trying to figure out how to save East Coast USA without the buildings or other stuff missing, because everytime I just do the changes to the level and press "Save Level". The building I added is missing when I reload the level.

I also tried to save new signs on Bob_blunderton's Los Injurus map and those went missing too despite pressing save and the changes being in my levels folder.

I heard I was supposed to have a backup of a level in case of updates or whatever and I'm wondering if extracting a level or whatever would fix it. I just don't know how to do it properly. Any feedback is appreciated.

 

This might be a 0.30 related issue, I might have heard of something similar/like that. („Saving doesn’t work in world editor” is what I generally remember reading somewhere)
But I sadly don’t know how to prevent it or help, and I’m not 100% certain, so sorry about that.

 

No, it's fine.

Btw, I did have this problem before 0.30.

 

There definitely was an issue previously, but I've had things save on 0.30, so it should work. I'll give it some thought, but I would do a deep cache clean, or possibly a reinstall, then see if it is working. Make sure you've done the file migration too (do this first if you haven't). I think its in the tools on the startup window.

 

Like copy the file and migrate it? Fair enough, is there anything specific I migrate it to?

 

I'd probably just use reset location. It might not do anything, but perhaps yours didn't get migrated before.

 

It worked. Thank you!

Do I just keep doing that everytime I save the level when I make new changes to it?

 

You shouldn't need to do that every time, it should just work. Its possible when you updated that you skipped the migration pop up that comes up. This might have caused the issue (I'm just guessing, I can't really think of another good reason). Hopefully now it will work every time. Just be careful with the cache clearing from now on, as it may delete your saved progress.

 

I'll try to figure out the migration pop, eventually. Thanks for helping.

 

The migration pop up comes up whenever there is a big update .29 to .3, etc. Its because it creates a new folder in your user folder for the new version (it usually keeps the old ones, but the game can't access those). I still don't know if this is what caused your issue, but if it pops up in future updates, just agree to migrate. It takes a minute or so.

 

I will. Thank you!
