Subject: Forged maps get overwritten?

Hey Bungie, or any equally intelligent persons, I've encountered quite the phenomenon....

This has happened twice to me...

Okay so, i make a map right? I've spent countless hours making it, and or editing it, then i play on it just fine a few times, and test it in a custom game and then all of a sudden after a few times of playing on it I try to select the map on both forge Or custom games and it gives me the name of another map i have forged, and when i enter the game it's the map that replaced the previous one and the map i just made is completely gone. I would like it very much if i could reacquire my map i worked so hard on please.

First and foremost, wrong forum.

I'll try to help anyway.
Did you perhaps save it on a preset map?

-backing up-

When you were making the new map, which map did you make it on?

And after you were done, did you select "save as new map" or "save map"?

If chose "Asylum" or any other map previously in your local files to make the map, try checking the map. It could be there.

Oops. sorry I'm new here and don't post often. sorry.

I usually always choose forge wold default map when making my maps.

And i always save as new map when first saving and then i continue to hit save map on that map when I'm done. If i didn't do any of that i wouldn't be able to play the map in the first place right?

Some more details:

The map i made was called, "Super Happy Fun Slide"
And the map that overwrote that map was a previous map i made called "Elevator".

The other time this happened was when i had a map called, "Just keep driving" and it was replace with a map called ,"Forge world 2".

Replaced meaning the name of the map stayed but the actual contents copied that of the map that overwrote it.

If you didn't save the map, it's the same as going into forge and coming out immediately.

And I'm getting confused.

Make sure to comment if you download!

Always make sure that when you enter the forge lobby, load the map that you want to forge on. If there's already a map loaded and you edit that map, it will overwrite other maps. So, make sure that you always load a map.

That was the cause for the one time this has happened to me. After forgetting to load the map I was working on and losing another map, I realized the only difference in the loading/saving process and it's never happened since.

So, always load the map, don't assume that just because the name is there that the map is loaded.

i had figured that out but i had no idea it'll overwrite the previous map i just built. How -blam!-. Thanks I'll be sure to load the map every time. i think that's what has been happening to me. damn... Oh well.. Thanks to you both. now I'm off to reforge.
