Encryption error at runtime

Post by JasonT »

Hi I've been using ES3 for a while with no problems, but I wanted to try turning on encryption.

At runtime it throws this error:
FormatException: File is not valid JSON. Expected '{' at beginning of file, but found '3'

I'm running Unity 2018.4.22f1 LTS on a Mac
Not sure which version of ES3, but it was installed back in March2020. (bonus question.... where can I find the version# of ES3)

Hi there,

The error is because you have encryption enabled, but the data you are trying to load isn't encrypted. You would need to load the data with unencrypted settings and then re-save it with encryption enabled.

Regarding the version number, this can be found in Plugins/Easy Save 3/Change Log, though it sounds like you are using a version from before the change log was added. I recommend updating to the latest version.

All the best,
Joel
