InvalidOperationException: An Easy Save 3 Manager is required to load references.

[Liens]

Hello, after upgrading to the latest Easy Save from the asset store, I now get this error every time I play in the editor:

Code: Select all

InvalidOperationException: An Easy Save 3 Manager is required to load references.

I definitely have an Easy Save 3 Manager in the scene, I even deleted the one in the scene and re-added it, which someimtes works until the scene is closed and opened again, but usually it does not.

Hi there,

We're currently waiting for Unity to approve an update to address this. In the meantime if you PM me your invoice number I'll send over the update.

All the best,
Joel

I am having the same issue.

Mine is even more complicated because I am using a multi-scene setup:

- UI scene
- Game scene

So, ES doesn't seem to recognize that there is already a manager in the UI scene (I would assume that it is where I should put it, since it's the only thing that is not going to be unloaded) but if I put multiple, it used to complain.

I thought of removing from all the scenes and now it gives me errors (even crashed the build).

What can I do?

Hi there,

Have you updated to the latest version available from the Asset Store?

If so, please could you private message me a project which replicates this?

All the best,
Joel

Hey Joel,

I am on the latest build of ES3 from the asset store: Version: 3.3.1f7 and getting this error.

"InvalidOperationException: An Easy Save 3 Manager is required to load references. To add one to your scene, exit playmode and go to Assets > Easy Save 3 > Add Manager to Scene"

This is happening despite the fact that I have an ES3 Manager GO in my hierarchy and it has been there since before updating.

What are the steps to resolve it?

Thanks,

[Joel]

Hi there,

We've had no reports of this in the latest version of Easy Save. Please could you private message me a link to a project which replicates this?

All the best,
Joel

This can happen if you have a Don'tDestroyOnLoad set on the manager. I don't remember how to make it automatically get added to scenes again so can't help you once you remove the DDOL.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, you currently need an Easy Save 3 Manager in every scene in which you're loading references, even if you're using DontDestroyOnLoad. If Easy Save detects there's two managers in a scene, it will merge them.

Note that in the upcoming update we're relaxing this requirement and allowing a manager in DontSaveOnLoad to be used. If you would like this update, please PM me your invoice number.

All the best,
Joel
