Subject: Custom Maps Over-Writting Each Other

Any one ever seen one of their custom maps saved over another one??? I put too much time into certain maps to have them vanished forever thanks to a BUNGIE ERROR! Thanks to no tutorials possibly

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

DO YOU WANT TO BE A NINJA?

Then I have three words for you. Team Flying Ninja

Alternatively, add me and we will be happy to tell you about ourselves.

...yes, blame Bungie for your retardedness. Just watch what you're doing next time. I've done it, and learned from my mistake, not gone crying and whining about how "OMG UR GAEM IS BROK RARRR UR SO GHEY FUK U"

Yeah that has happened to me a few times. I would select a saved map and some forge experimentation I didn't even save would come up instead. It's a rare glitch that you can't seem to avoid.

Try selecting a Forge World map and then the game brings up a Boneyard map. Yeah, my game hates me.

Now that you mention it, I recall "saving" one of my maps that way.

  • 01.17.2012 12:48 PM PDT

I had both maps in file share. Even the copy in file share was overwritten.

So, let's see here, you've also gone and made one map, saved it. Went back to the menu, selected empty forge world for a new map, saved that one. Then went to your local files and found out that SOMEHOW your newest map has been saved over your last map by seeing that the Map 2's description was under Map 1's name. Then loaded, newly overwritten, Map 1 to confirm that it HAS been overwritten with no explanation. IS THAT RIGHT? CUS YOU SURE SEEM TO KNOW WHAT I WENT THRU, HUH?

It's a very nasty glitch and the only way to avoid it is to save your map as a new version each time you work on it. Also, make sure to save and end the game fully and don't turn the xbox off while you're in forge.

  • 01.19.2012 5:09 PM PDT

I had a bad feeling I'd have to do that. I hope Halo Forge has Forge AND fixes it.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Or save it to cloud storage...

Reach Support FAQ
Maps Can be Overwritten

Below are the steps for triggering an overwrite of a previously saved map. Basically, do NOT use "Save Map" after re-entering a map you left and had not previously saved when you HAD saved a map before starting the new one.

Launch Forge
Create a map and save it with a unique name and description
Open any default (built-in) map variant in Forge
Go to the Start menu and select End Game
Re-enter Forge without changing the map
Go to the start menu and select "Save Map"


You will have then saved over the previously saved map.

Again, to avoid this, do not hit "Save Map" when you are editing a new map you've never saved before. Use "Save As..." instead.

This?
