Game Launcher Failed to read file errors

[xtom]

I notice when I try to restart my Halloween game after dieing on the launcher it sometimes crashes with "Failed to read file" errors in the log. Mostly it can't find the map, other times a prefab and other times it just restarts fine. It loads fine on launch everytime and testing the standalone locally the restart loads the map fine everytime too.

How are you reloading the map?

I'm using the standard changemap way in main.lua - only change I made is I removed the ..".map" bit here because the restart script where I choose the the path to the map file uses the full filename start.map

 

--Handle map change
if changemapname~=nil then

 --Clear all entities
 world:Clear()

 --Load the next map
 Time:Pause()
 if Map:Load("Maps/"..changemapname)==false then return end
 Time:Resume()

 changemapname = nil
end

I'm not getting this problem anymore. I had one missing .wav file that a prefab was trying to load so that might have been connected to the other failed to read file errors somehow. Although when I tested in the editor it never crashed so not really sure if that's what the problem was, maybe it was something else. Anyway it's restarting ok now it in the launcher without crash when I tested it again.

We found that things don't work right in the game launcher if anything is missing.
