Forge Groups Become Permanent, Unselectable

Groups of objects (or welded objects) in forge can become permanent, unelectable objects if you leave groups in your forge map, save, and come back into forge. (So, in other words, to avoid the issue, you basically can never weld or group objects, and if you do, you need to ungroup them asap before saving your forge file.)

Additionally, the steam pieces, under FX, appear to emit steam as they should in forge monitor mode, but as soon as you enter spartan mode (whether in forge, or in actual custom games) the steam shuts off, and the FX is not visible as it should be.

Thanks for reading!

The grouping thing can be resolved if you make a new group of seperate objects and then un group them and everything will become selectable again. But yes it shouldn’t be an issue and needs to be fixed

I will give that a try and let you know if it worked for me.

Your steam problem might be because you haven’t fully reloaded the map in transfer to Spartan mode

Ok, so a previously “permanent” grouped object that couldn’t be selected, can be re-selected by spawning/placing in two or more new objects, and making those objects into a group. The old, previously unelectable objects should then become part of the new group, and you can delete them/move them as needed.

It’s really annoying when duplicating half a map
