I just spent 10+ Hours making a map, saved it every step of the way, and just had some friends play test it. Now when I select the map it just says “Retrieving Data” and nothing happens. PLEASE tell me there is some sort of fix to this or sadly is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Reboot or Overnight should fix the problem.
You ever get this to work?
I’m having this problem as well. I’m pretty sure it’s a problem to do with spawn points (but if someone could confirm this for me that’d be awesome). I think the problem is twofold - I’ve exceeded the lighting budget (though that’s only part of the problem because I’ve exceeded it before and haven’t had this problem) and I have initial spawns but no respawn points. From what I can gather, when you start up a game of Forge, you spawn at respawn points rather than initial spawns. If you have neither, the game just spawns you wherever, but when there are initial spawns, the game assumes you have respawn points as well and it just messes up.
You see, I have the same “Retrieving data” problem but I can actually load into the map, but I spawn dead and never respawn. All I can do is quit because the game won’t let me do anything except open the pause menu. I think we can be hopeful that this will be patched, however, because it seems to be a mere oversight in the spawning mechanic.
