    Hi everyone,

    My computer just crashed, killing my creative game and the BP I was working on. Too many hundreds of hours (yes, literally) went into it unfortunately for me to just overlook it. This is actually bad.

    So now, both my creative game and the BP are unsuable. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Any dev that can potentially restore a .ebp file from corruption into a working state?

    I have the ebp file on my harddrive and i still keep the creative game, but the game recognizes neither. Copy pasting into a new savegame lets me know that its corrupt, and is unusable.

    Here is the .ebp Blueprint file. If anyone can recover anything from it, please let me know.

    Thank you

    There use to be a method of starting a new game, creating a new base, and then copying the files of the base to replace the new games version. Nor sure if it still works but you may try that.

    Try going into the save games folder & open the "Shared" folder then open the folder that is named after the BP's id number (the id number it had when in the save game) & look for the file called "backup.epb" which is a backup copy of the blueprint.
    Make a copy of this file & put it in a new folder & rename the .epb file & new folder as the same name then place it in your Blueprints > steamid folder for it to show up in game when you next load the game.
