Problems Saving VRTK Objects with ES3

[JimBury]

Hello,
I recently purchased Easy Save from the Unity Asset Store, and am trying to use Easy Save 3 for the Save/Load system in a VR game.

I am accessing the Save() and Load() methods of the ES3AutoSaveMgr and assigning the ES3AutoSave component to a few basic objects that can be interacted with - but I am getting errors in the console when trying to save.

I am using Unity 2017.3.0f3 with the VRTK Toolkit (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/t ... lkit-64131) in my game and as such, have a few components from there on the objects that need to be saved.

My game will mainly need these objects to be saved, so was wondering if you could please help

Code: Select all

Hi there,

This looks like it could be a bug at our end, or an edge case we've not accounted for. Would you be able to PM me a basic project which replicates this so I can try to find out what is happening?

All the best,
Joel
