Hey guys,

My map, “Lobby.umap” appears to be corrupted! Everytime I try to load the map it causes the editor to crash, is there any way I can find out what caused the corruption and resolve it to recover my work?

Thanks in advance.

The logs are linked. link text

Hi Elrius,

With the editor closed, try deleting the Intermediate and Saved folders from your Project Folder. Open your project and try to open the map in question. If it fails to open, then close the editor again and delete the Config folder from your Project Folder. Repeat.

Try this and let me know if it does not correct the issue (However, the .umap may actually be corrupted.)

Thanks for your reply!

I’ve given those things a go, and unfortunately I’m still crashing when trying to load the map.

I’ve uploaded the log from the crash. Not sure if this helps you, but hopefully!

Thanks,
Elrius

judging by your error logs it is trying to load the map, intitizlie it, and fail. It says it cannot find game objects, error 110, and many other error messages. Do you have a back up because it looks like your map is corrupted and your data is lost. The error starts when it begins intilizing the objects and blueprints. I think you should find a back up copy. If you can’t than I am sorry. I understand how frustrating your situation is. It looks like you lost a lot of work.

Can you open the project but not that specific map? If this is the case, you might be able to salvage the map by opening the project, right-clicking on the Content Browser and selecting “Fix up redirectors for folder.” Then try opening the map. Also, if you can open the project, make sure that the map in question is not set as the default map in your project settings.

Also, is this a project that you started in UE4.12 and Converted to UE4.13? Just asking as I’ve seen a number of these and there are some alternate steps you can try if this is the case.

Hi Elrius ,

Since we have not heard back from you in a while, we are marking this post “resolved” for tracking purposes. However, if you still cannot open the corrupted map, please respond with the requested information and we will continue to investigate.

Thanks,

I’m so glad I found a solution here! My map was corrupted when it tried to save in the middle of a power blackout. Fixing redirectors solved the issue for me when I replaced the map with a backed up version. Thanks!
