I am using Build :2019.07.01 - July Update
As a quick experiment I saved the levels supplied with the Abandoned Apartment and The Antiques in the Attic Packs as standalones,

As you can see in the attached screen grabs and tree output some very strange looking empty directory structures are appearing under the " ..\entitybank\abandoned apartment pack" and " ..\entitybank\antiques in the attic pack" directories.

Can some one confirm this or has my machine (or possible me) gone insane?


UPDATE The strange directory names seem to be constructed from lines in the contents.txt file for each standalone?

I have tried it on another computer with the same results. I suspect an incorrectly terminated string on accessing file system or some other Type of memory leak.

Does the lack of response mean that no one else has experienced this?

Looks like a very eager attempt to preserve files required by the model, but ultimately not needed. Feels like a bug. Can you post this as a bug in the issues tracker with the screenshots you created, thanks!
