So, I copied my map onto a USB stick (which works fine for other things), and when I loaded it on my laptop I noticed that some actor data had vanished. These were files I had changed right before copying it onto the stick, so I thought maybe they simply were corrupted from the start.
But then I saved the map onto the stick again and loaded it on my "main" computer some random actor data I hadn't touched in days had simply vanished. It's only actors though, the corresponding units are still there (heck, even the "editor prefixes" of the actors are still saved and return when I recreate the actors) The affected actors were created via the "duplicate" option along with the units, and then renamed.
I didn't get an error message on startup, so I'm not sure this actually is an internal bug, but I'd still like to know what causes it/how to prevent it and whether I can get the data back (I don't have a suitable backup :( )
System is windows 7 on both computers and the USB stick was properly "disconnected" via the windows app after the map was saved, if that matters.
@mods: sorry if this is the wrong section, I don't know whether it's actually a bug, and I only lost actor data so I thought I'd post here.
This editor goes its own way.
Few days ago i was importing few small models having only Import window open.
everything works, I saved, closed editor, open again, i get spammed with like 1 billion messages about having duplicate something in my triggers
Loaded backup from minutes before the save and it was all ok.
I lost about 2 unit actors +their weapon actors, 7 or so buildings and my "construction" actor. Oddly enough no non-actor data was lost.
I also keep getting errors in which random models can't be loaded and appear as spheres ingame, but that might be an "out of memory" error from leaving the editor running for hours.

ModeratorsDid you write alot in the editor comments fields?
Contribute to the wiki (Wiki button at top of page) Considered easy altering of the unit textures?

Nope, not a single one. Only added a prefix of "+ # #" to everything I edited, but as I said those were still there.
At least I managed to recreate most of the losses now.

ModeratorsHe is talking about spntaneous deletions of large portions of data. Yeah I had that with my one map, eventaully gave up on the project because of it.

Luckily it wasn't that much, for now...
