All conversations deleted

Hi,

today I opened my Unity project and noticed that all conversations except for 2 vanished. They are completely gone. The database file size is only 139kb (should be 10MB). Luckily, I have a backup, but still I lost a bit of time. Do you have any idea what could have happened, so it doesn't repeat? Did it happen to somebody else? Everything else like actors or variables is still there. As well as these two random conversations.

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that you lost data. I'm glad you had a backup. Is it possible that you were accidentally editing an old auto-backup version of the database? Were there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Nope, I had Auto-Backup disabled (used manual backup (Now I'm using auto-backup again :D)) and saw no errors.

It's just so strange that it left everything else like actors intact and even 2 conversations (out of a few hundreds). The only special about these 2 conversations is that they are the top entries when I go into Outline Mode.

Thank you very much!

I suppose it's possible that maybe something got corrupted in the database due to some external, non-Dialogue System script, or even a Unity bug. If this ever happens again, hold onto your database. There may be a simple way to fix it.
