I just had a level delete itself, and the sections that deleted wouldnt come back no matter how far I rewound. It almost made me cry. I had dozens of hours in it, and I had poured my heart and knowledge into it. But no biggie, I had it backed up from a previous save. So I exit, and try to import the back up, when "an Unknown Error has occurred" What do? Start over? Give up? Wait till Chrimby

Yeah. Me too. I captured certain key components of the level as an object, as I am prone to do, because CompherMC taught me the importance of modular level design, I make cardboard templates of rooms, then they can be re used and re arranged and re purposed multiple times when decorated different. But the decoration takes time, especially in LBP3 since the decoration tool doenst work so good... Even still, there are 2 large rooms I lost for good. Oh well... Its incredibly frustrating. Especially that the BACKUP ISNT WORKING Why even back things up then? Why try?

Sorry you lost your work, that sucks pretty bad. I've had the same bug occur for me too. Were you using the dynamic thermo at the time?

That really sucks, mate Be sure not to delete or remove the backup though, as I am sure that a fix is on the way soon, providing someone has mentioned the bug already. Have you posted to the Known Problems page, too? Don't despair too much just yet, as it might be possible to get back... unfortunately, we will have to wait to find that out

Were you using the dynamic thermo at the time? You know I was. It is a bug with the Dynathermo that I was well aware of, thats why I neurotically have been backing levels up. It happened at LEAST 8 times on the level in my sig (check it out I'm almost to 100 plays) so I knew already it would probably happen to this level. So I backed it up. Then I got the 1-2 punch of the dynathermo destroy-yer-level glitch, and the "Unknown Error" back up glitch, and just like that, its all gone down the toilet.

Same thing here when half my level disappeared (including the backup). I switched back to normal thermo and haven't had any issues yet. Some people have suggested building sections in a normal thermo level then combining them all into a single dynamic thermo level. I haven't tested that to see if that causes issues or not, but it might be an option. Best of luck.

Thats what I have been doing sort of. As I have said, I create the rooms all separately, and then combine them, but the problem is when you switch it to dynamic, you have to re-test your logic, because, as an example, danger tweakers all shut off when they are loaded in dynamic thermo. So you have to test to make sure all of your logic still works, and as you test, it has the risk of being deleted, which is what happened here. I switched to dynamic to test, and got hit with the bug.

Ah, gotcha. Man, this sucks. I can only hope they jump on fixing this quickly.

They better. Create is the main draw of LBP. One can even forget that there is a story at all. Its like if Call of Duty shipped without the ability to join online matches. Even a month or two of bad create is hurting the entire franchise.

LBP is like the only game I know where you're constantly having to think about your data being lost. ..

LBP is like the only game I know where you're constantly having to think about your data being lost. .. Whenever something bad happens in 3, I just remember back to LBP1 and 2 levels getting corrupted, and thats why they created level back up in the first place. And LBPSP's create mode was such a mess at the beginning... LBP3 reminds me a lot of PSP. Its a hot mess, and it hardly works, but I am confident it will be fixed just like PSP was.

Very annoying bugs... After each session of creation, i systematically publish a locked version of my level on my planet. This allow me to directly back up the level on the game servers. In case of such a bug, i just have to copy the level from my planet to my moon and then only lose my last session of creation. I can't do this with adventure maps though. I have a bug and if i copy a locked version of an adventure on my planet, i can't selsect the slot on my moon anymore. Frustrating...

We shouldn't rely too much on built in features right now I guess. Did this happen on a ps3 or ps4? PS4

Had this happen but not a whole level. What was happening was periodically through designing, piece of my level kept disappearing and i don't even know why. I built this huge elaborate room, come back to it later and some of the glass windows were just...gone. Extremely frustrating.
