I'm sure that many of you have had a game load in the editor and "not be recognized". I have had a bunch and eventually, I found a way to fix them. All that you have to do is make a new blank project, copy all of the data files, the graphics files, and the audio files into the new projects respective folders. DO NOT copy the configuration settings file as it will cause the same error as the broken file.
There you go, all fixed and ready to be edited once more! -------------------- If you are a believer of Jesus Christ, and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.
---------------------------------------------- Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55% of plepoe can. I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! fi yuo cna raed tihs, palce it in yuor siantugre. |

This is fine, but yes, you still should make backups. It is bad practice not to.

I'm just going to add these phrases so that this topic comes up in a search
Failed to load actor data unexpected file format As if anyone searches the forums first anyway... And, like the others have said, this in no way means that you should not make backups. There are many other ways to lose a project. -------------------- My blog - It's awesome, I assure you

None of this is guaranteed to work for everyone. You are gonna have to try and salvage what you can by copying over things to a new project. Will take some time and you may need to re-do things, buts thats what happens when you don't make backups.
