D-Wade Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't think 343 would do anything else for reach. They simply don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Are you trying to name the maps all the same? Because you cant have more than one map with the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 When you open a map, first use Save As.... Then use save after the first time. if you you save first, it will overwrite your previous map you forged on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Could you tell us more specifically wjat you do when you save your map? Do you build over the same map every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Are you trying to name the maps all the same? Because you cant have more than one map with the same name. Actually you can, since I have 5 maps on my hard drive named the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Dog Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Since I run multiple accounts that have a maximum number, or close to it, at any given time. This problem seems to becoming more systemic due to the amount of name errors, map switching with other maps in inventory and having a map revert back to an earlier safe in it's linage after the final save. These have all happened to myself as well as numerous members in the forge community I regularly talk and play with. These are advanced forgers and the broad, consistent range of these issues points to a problem with the system. I am going to start a Forge Issues thread and see what we get from the Community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Try using "Save as" instead of save. If your problem is a bit different (trying to forge on a blank forgeworld but the map you were previously forging on in forge world keeps showing up) then try selecting a non-forge world map, let it load up, then select forge world again.

KAC 361 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 This has happend to me multiple times, though only the first one actually affected me. After that I always make backup or copy files. So say I make a map called "Sweet New Map" I would make another called "Sweet New Map_2" to have a backup. It has saved me quite a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWBC Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I don't know what to say I don't really forge apart from race tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berb Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Overwriting is a common glitch doesn't really have a direct cause attached to it. The only way to avoid it is to Save As every time you make an important change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro6666 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 You may have noticed when you end a forge game and go straight back into forge on the same map any changes you didn't save are still there. A side effect of that system is that if you forge on two different maps consecutively the second one can overwrite the first if you hit save and not save as. If you load up another canvas like spire then go to the map you want to forge that should keep it from overwriting the first map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 The over writing happens when you have to many maps saved. You only have a limited amount of space to save your maps. So when you get to that point they start to save over each other. So every now and then you have to answer that hard question of which one do I want more. I have to do it all the time. Another thing is you could always start up another profile and start saving some to them. Im not saying you need gold. just take that new profile in and save the map with it. When you need it you can always jump into local with that profile and save on your main one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
