Save Failed.

I can't save my game! I deleted sounds with to much memory, the text is still there, but I can't save! The program says "Save Failed: Is the Folder Read-Only?". I get that when saving ANYWHERE. To update my game, I have to download my game to update it. The problem occurs on every project with scripts, so something must be wrong with the folder. Please help/fix!!

Re: Save Failed.

It might be the asterisk! It happens to my project with asterisks only!

Re: Save Failed.

Yeah...try using another file name without it. (and make sure the folder isn't read-only).

Re: Save Failed.

To me, the most common reason of "Save Failed: Is the Folder Read-Only?" is that the name of your project contains symbols...

Re: Save Failed.

Whoa! It actually worked! I took away the parenthesis in my file name and the save worked! Thank you, people, this was a really big problem for me too.  big_smile
