I need help. I’ve been working on a project for about 7 months or so, and as of today, all the sprite assets were wiped. But not just the assets, all of the functions in the code were also removed. Everything is gone. I’m hoping someone such as @eanders could help me understand or possibly fix/fix the issue. I need to know if there is a way I can bring my progress back. If sharing the project is necessary, I will. Please help, I really need it right now.
Oh, I am so sorry that just recently happened to @BotWarrior and he lost 2 of his best projects did you back them up every day? that is what I do I click the download button and then I get a copy I can restore if anything bad happens. Also is that your game jam game?

I expect some incidents like these to have happened before,
all I can say is to try to use the version history… if it exists.

completely unrelated but is this below the surface for the uat2 finals

Sorry; but the project was wiped quite oddly, and so far the only clear way to get help is from mod attention, since the version history goes far back.
As for @Fixitude it’s happened to me a bunch of times, however, this one was much more grand and serious, so I’m choosing to ask for help to get it back; no, it’s not my UAT2 game.

Hi, @InvalidProject !
Some generic questions:
- Are you able to download your project as a PNG, or does that generate an error?
- Does sharing still work for you, or does that generate an error?
- Are you using the beta version?
- Did something happen before you lost your work?
- Do you have any backups that still work?
No guarantees that I can help you this weekend, but I will try. The devs are way better at this than I am!

uh oh
Usually when this happens there’s not really a way to…uh…get it back
If someone can finally figure out what to do when this happens I would get back a ton of projects. But if theres no way to get it back…(sigh of frustration)
I don’t say this offen but I dunno if there is a way to help… All I can really say, is good luck.

Some generic answers:
- I can download the game into a PNG file with no issues!
- The game is really large, so sharing through links doesn’t work.
- Unless there was a major editor update within the last week, no!
- What happened was I had imported an extension, and it bugged everything!
- I have a backup, but it’s so horribly far back, I’d lose essentially all of my code.
Hoping this helps!

I’ll PM you if you want to share your project that way. Otherwise, just post your PNG here and I’ll take a look.

This happened to me multiple times. It’s just so annoying, especially with all the buggy extensions. Keep going InvalidProject, your game is looking good!
