Why are they missing?

Things keep disappearing from my content browser. In some cases they will be in it on one project, but not in another, but the vast majority of cases I have to redownload the engine entirely to get the assets. I have no program that would move files besides steam (which is on a different drive entirely) and they don’t appear to be anywhere on my computer. I haven’t touched them. This keeps happening and nothing seems to work. For example I opened my project from earlier today (I’m still trying to learn how to use the program and was experimenting with walls) and my architecture folder is gone (and seemingly all the assets inside). Any Ideas?

Hi VanDerBeek,

Unfortunately I’m quite confused. What assets are disappearing? Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project? What steps are you taking to reproduce this on your end?

So I haven’t done anything yet because I don’t know where to start doing something. So if I start a project and use, for example, a wall from the architecture folder, Once I save the project and close the program the architecture folder is not there when I reopen it. I also am unable to fine it in my files at all.

Try running a verify on your engine build. To do so, go to your launcher>Library>Engine version dropdown menu and press verify. This will check your engine build to see if any files are damaged or missing and repair/replace them.
