Another Forge Glitch

Is there a master list going on somewhere? I searched but couldn’t find it.

Anyways, I’m new to forge and was working on my first map. At one point I decided to rename my file. Bad idea. All of my locked elements disappeared when I got into my file. Of course, I didn’t have a backup file going yet. A little disheartening to lose so much work. I enjoy forging but I’m not sure I want to continue if the system is so bugged.

Very easy to lose progress right now due to bugs. A few tips:

-Save As a new map for every hour of time spent forging
-Keep the last 3-4 versions of each map
-Make sure you have initial spawns and respawn points
-Forge by yourself, don’t save with multiple people in the map or always Save As
-Only group/weld if you absolutely have to, consider ungrouping when done if possible

I had a similar problem, I spent hours on one of my maps and decided to rename it, after I did I was completely unable to use the map in forge, I would start up in forge and I wouldn’t be able to move or anything, after that incident I definitely made sure I made back-ups of my maps.
