Buildings disappear in CAW when returned from Edit-In-Game mode.

[Elmigo]

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with my Create A World-tool, when I return to the CAW from the Edit-In-Game mode, lots of buildings disappeared and I can not recover them. Loading back-up files does not help either. I never had this problem before, so it's completely new to me.

It's weird, because I save my city in the game, then all the buildings are still there, and when I return to the Create A World-tool all the buildings are gone. However, after the buildings disappeared I shutdown the CAW without saving, but it looks like the CAW automatically saves the empty lots, even when I choose not to save it.

I hope you guys can help me out! I'm doing one seriously big world project: building my own city as if it's an exact copy. I can't go on with this project untill this is solved.

Thanks for reading anyways, maybe one of you has the solution. I hope so...

This sounds like it could be caused by a version mismatch- it looks as though EIG is not saving your world correctly, so lot files are being lost.

Hi there,
thanks! I'm going to figure this out using the link you've sent me. I hope the buildings won't disappear after this :)
