    Might have lost a days worth of editing...HELP!

    Had the day off from work today and did a LOT of work in the editor. I have a backup copy of my current track, but I didn't update the backup today at all. I saved the track frequently as I worked, and then went to test someone's track. When I came back and took a test run on my track this popped up after the countdown.

    Tried adjusting recent new items and deleting things and even loading it up in multiplayer. No luck. After this comes up even the editor mode shows this. Looks like my level is corrupted, but if anyone has any info please share. I might be able to save some new sections to favorites, but if the level is corrupt wouldn't that just screw up the new save file too? I can redo everything obviously, but when I saw how much I was set back I was very upset. Went from just about done with decoration back to 2/3rds done

    damn that looks awful, have you tried to copy your track to a memory stick or maybe cloud , it could be the location on your h/d has gotten corrupted.

    Ooo, I haven't tried that yet, though I don't have high hopes as I believe the file is corrupted. Oddly I can go into the level and edit it as long as I don't try to test anything. I can even save groups to favorites from the level and place them in other levels (which will be what I have to do if I can't save it). After I found out I can get favorites from the level I was a little less upset, but I still did lots of little things here and there that I don't even remember and would be more work to copy over than to rebuild anew. Will try to copy the file next time I can get on.

    You should just upload it. It would be more enjoyable than most tracks on Track Central.

    I tried copying the file without luck and ended up just having to redo my work. Fortunately I can save favorites from the corrupted track and drop them into the backup save. Still lost all the little details I had done, but the large chunks of new sections I was able to salvage. Now I'm running four different backups to prevent further corrupting.

    Ahhh Buttcheek, you made me laugh very hard when I read this. On a side note, I would love it if you check out my track before I upload it. I think you will like it, it is very....dark. Would have turned the sun off completely if I didn't need the water a certain color.
