Ran into a odd one today, started a new editor map, had it already saved and named, placed units, trigger's, markers, objects ect. After completing a second preview this time playing till I was killed. Upon hitting End I went back into the editor and got a popup about / is not a value, hit ok, mission is now blank.
Did not hit save, simply did exit editor and relaunch, still blank.
Checked saved mission folder, all my custom folders, init.sqf and Desc are fine but the mission.sqm is not blank/fresh.
Thankfully in this case it was only a 1/2 work lost, but if you lost a full complete mission this way it would not be nice...
The file shows a mod time of 5:27:15 so you can line it up with the RPT file.
