    Saving Map failed, too Large?

    So i decided to upload my map this morning which I've worked on since day1 of release. Today I've got error: "Saving map failed: Map file too large."

    I've kept within all the limits the map editor tells you about, why am I getting this error, what are the limits (on xboxone)


    Error: Saving map failed: mapfile too large.

    Looks like it is well within the map limit to me. Not even any red bars at the top of the screen.

    When you go in and play it is everything fine? Like you run around ok, shot and everything, no problems or jumpy bits turning?

    Yes, not a problem with play or explore. When playing, no speed issues, seems to run fine. As an experiment i've even tried to redude AI by removing all animals. removing some signs etc. still nothing.

    I dunno how to find out how large my map file is (if anyone one does on xbox that'd be great), maybe theres and upload limit, tho I wish this would be in the validation somewhere.

    It could be an error with the servers they use. I can't upload any of my new maps at the minute. I'm not a computer nerd but could be something with timing out while uploading or anything else.

    I wouldn't change your map - just wait for Ubi to rectify their problems. Obviously its not your fault as your map meets the Validation pre-requisites and plays fine.

    Ok cool, I'll be patient and give it another go later today.

    I've saved a backup of my full map anyway. From looking at my file save on Xbox, it's only around 2mb so I can't imagine it's overly huge.

    Someone on the Xbox map club suggested waiting for an update which is coming soon, do we know of a date at all?

    Ok just had a reply from Ubisoft after emailing them. They have said my game file is corrupt. Gave me some useless info on how to recover from a PC.. however I did state I was on xbox.

    Any suggestions here? anyone found a way to re save a corrupt file, I've literally ploughed 50+ hours into this map >_<

    I can't even begin to imagine your frustration if infact the save file has become corrupt. As far as I'm aware there is no way to fix corrupt game saves on consoles. Have you tried the "Save as" option again to try and create a new save of the map ?

    Yeah, I've tried that. Unfortunately nothing. I guess I will hope that something is actually wrong at their end or wait for an update. I just don't get how it could be a problem if I can literally play it without a hitch my end..

    If this does turn out to be a corruption, it quite literally kill's my love for this editor, it's the only reason I buy this game. I can't really trust or even want to make another map in fear this would just happen again. Can't be wasting another 50+ hours of my life for nothing.
