Trying to upload a Prefab and I keep getting an error that it can’t be uploaded.
Rebooted the game and that didn’t help.
Am I missing something?
Okay, fwiw, I got it to work.
Apparently, I was trying to upload the most recent version of the file: “V2”.
I didn’t recall making a second version, but gave it no thought.
…then I saw that the versions were created 6 seconds apart from each other, so I thought maybee v2 was a computer generated copy or somesuch…
Anyway, tried to upload V1 and it worked fine, no errors.
Hope this helps someone else searching for answers to the same issue.
i can’t find a fix for me, spent 2 days making a map but i can only publish an earlier version of it. I can’t even publish my game mode, please let me know if you all find a fix
I am also having this problem. I don’t see anything V1 or V2, just V179 of the map. Tried renaming it to Ketheres V2 and it didn’t work. I spent a lot of time on this map, I really need a fix. I’d like to get it out there now that Custom Games are live.
More than likely it’s the description. If you have an “&” symbol or anything “special” like that, it won’t upload.

I was apparently using a copywrighted name - Ketheres is from Battle Angel Alita (and what inspired my map). Changing the name to “Ketheras” allowed an immediate upload. Hope this may help others.
Did you find a solution @ParallaxEra5781?
Any hack such as renaming or updating the description creates a new copy of the previously published version of my map, not the latest version.
Tried to rename or change the description, then edit and save with my latest changes hoping this would somehow unblock publishing the latest version.
Tried doing this after unpublishing my map hoping the description update would apply to the latest file.
No luck
It seems to me that “UNPUBLISHING” is a no-no and creates problems.
Unless you’re trying to hide your map/prefab from the public after you have already made it public, there should be no reason to “unpublish”…
I made a Prefab called “Steampunk Teleporter” ( the file I created this post about) and published it before I understood anything about publishing files, and then I 'unpublished" it to make changes to it, then tried to RE-publish it and cannot do so.
It just says “File Private” and shows 0 bookmarks, even though I know it got bookmarked over 20X before I unpublished it.
As far as I can understand, just DON’T unpublish ANYTHING.
If you need to improve a file that’s already been published, simply go into forge, make your improvements, and then PUBLISH the newer version, and it will replace the older one.
…NEVER unpublish a file unless you never want anyone to see it again.
(as far as I can tell)
@HOBO_ITCHY interesting.
I must have replied in another thread with details on how I was able to resolve the issue.
My map was published with X description. The description was preventing me from publishing the latest version (even though this description was published).
I had to unpublished the map. Change the description so that the version generated with the description change would apply to the latest version of my map. Then I could publish my latest changes.
