So I just renamed the level ingame and it deleted the contents and reverted to a default map, 3 days solid work gone.
Anyway I can sort this? Even the back ups load up with it all gone :/

Did you go to Open Level and see if the old map with the old name was there?

Did you not back it up ?
I cannot emphasis enough when using Alpha of anything to Back up your work.
I copy my files folder to another drive and external at least a few times a day.
Forgetting Max i trust Windows even less.
No one ever really leaves.

Hi, yes I have multiple back ups, but whenever i opened the previous versions of the level they loaded blank. The only way i could get the backups loaded was my deleting the current folder, installing and then move the backup files into the new folder. Luckily I only lost about 5 hours work
