“…is not a valid map file!”

[Alex Milo]

I cannot open my map, I keep getting this message. How do I fix it? I can open previous versions just fine, but they’re really outdated…

I had the SDK open during sleep on my laptop, which I usually do, but I got blue screened and now I get this message when trying to open.

Isn't this autosaved file? Either check the name if it has any spaces in the name or rename it. Anyway your maps should be in this folder.
"Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Unpublished\BrewedPC\maps"

No this is the original file in its intended location. However I did not know it was best to have them in a specific folder, I’ll do that going forward. I am very rusty and did not consider checking an auto save file, so that saves me some work. I did however lose a couple of hours, is there really no way to open the file when I get this message? Is the file considered corrupted?

EDIT: I had no idea there’s a backup folder within the auto save folder, it has my latest file so I’m thankfully good to go. I am still however curious how this happened to the original file?
