I recently had one of my most successful design sessions in a while. I was carving the landscape like Michelangelo carved marble. What seemed like minutes turned into an hour-and-a-half of pure brilliance. Then BANG...my power flickered. My screen turned dark. Pure panic. Did the Xbox restart? Had it saved my work? Nope, it was all gone. Haven't found my Zen since.
I can't be the only one this has happened to, right!?!? Let me hear your horror stories.

Well something similar has happened me My PlayStation account got corrupted and I had to delete all the files and the account. Long story short, I’m on a new account and lost 2 contest courses.

At least on console the designer is pretty stable - those who design on PC have to save every few minutes because of regular crashes (or so I've heard). But that does suck to lose a few hours work. Just do what you did last time but better!

MEIKA94, likely because I’ve probably spent 100 more hours between the two courses😭 I was designing one for rookie contest and was within a week of completion. Now starting over this weekend.

I save every 5 minutes on PC but yeah I’ll forget to sometimes and sucks when it just randomly crashes.

Designer needs a timed autosave function Like every 5 seconds. The game crashes constantly while in PC designer. It rarely did before the latest "update".

For once, I feel lucky to be designing on console…no crashes yet!

I have recommended the autosave function (as a three file rolling autosave) on our suggestions board twice now. I'm surprised it's not incorporated given that it now autosaves the course on opening, so can't be that hard to introduce.
That said, if you're on PC, make sure you create your own backups regularly. Easiest way I've found is to create a personal Discord server and drop the file in there at the end of every session. Only takes one corrupted file to make you realise how important rolling backups are!

I always copy my work in progress to another directory it’s an appended date so I know where I’m up to for any unpublished courses.
