Key not found

[JohnS]

Hi,

I'm using PlayMaker – and I've been saving and loading with EasySave for a while, but I am suddenly experiencing weird issues.
After a successful save (running the game in Unity editor), if I stop playing and then start playing again, EasySave can't find the key.

It's been working just fine for a month, and I haven't changed the way my savemanager works, so I am pretty stumped.
I've attached a screen of my FSM – first thing that happens when it runs is that "Init" sends the "Load" event, so EasySave's Load All runs first. And breaks.

Any ideas what is happening? I'd love any pointers.¨
Thanks,
/John

Hi John,

Please could you send me a screenshot of each of the following:

1. A screenshot of your Easy Save settings in Tools > Easy Save 3 > Settings, with the Advanced Settings foldout open.
2. A screenshot of the Save All action you're using to save to the Database key.

All the best,
Joel

You bet – thanks for your quick response!

Thanks for sending that over.

Everything looks fine there, but you do appear to be using an older version, so I first recommend updating.

If this doesn't resolve your issue, please could you replicate your issue in a minimal project with a simple scene and private message it to me with instructions so I can see what's happening.

All the best,
Joel

Thanks. After updating, the error now changed into a sharing violation..? I tried changing the path, but nothing changed.

I'll see if I can reproduce it in a separate project and DM you.
Thanks,

Hi there,

A sharing violation usually means that the file is open externally (i.e. in a text editor or being used by another piece of software), or your project is using threads and the file is being used in multiple threads at the same time. I'd first make sure the file isn't open anywhere if you haven't already.

Otherwise if you could reproduce it in a new project I'll take a look to see what is happening.

All the best,
Joel

Just made a brand new project and the exact same SaveManager runs just perfectly in that one.
Guess I'm the culprit somehow. I'll go through my statemachines and try to figure out where it goes wrong.
Thanks for your help.
