Lost about 5 of work in team create from uncommitted scripts, any way to recover?

This is kind of ironic as I largely write my code in VSC with Rojo. I’m low-key devastated as it was an insanely productive 4-5 hours of work which will probably take twice that long to re-write fully.

This was in team-create and throughout the entire session I didn’t commit a single script (in hindsight I should have committed at regular intervals). My connection dropped for about 5 minutes which force-closed team-create then on returning all my progress had been lost.

I checked Documents/ROBLOX/AutoSaves, sadly not a single recovery file from the session.

Any know of any miracles to restore this lost work?

It’s probably gone forever sadly. Best thing is to always save regularly.

well guess just code again! and keep on saving when using team create but hey! doesn’t team create have auto save online feature? try recovering it by going to the previous versions in the versions tab in the game on website. that may help!

#6

out of curiosity how long were your scripts? on average?

#7

I’m pretty sure you need to save the script in order for team create auto save (or saving the place file in general) to actually save the new script.

#8

oh wait yea thats true… as he also said uncommitted well guess what foreverhd can do now is just make em again and remember to commit scripts cuz bruh who wouldn’t after that.

Unspoken Developer Rule: Press ctrl+S (on windows) at least 1000 times per hour.

Turn off team create, It disconnects you when your WiFi is off, without team create, you will still be on studio and you can easily copy the code and save it somewhere until the your internet comes back.

Okay well thanks for all your responses, looks like I’ll eat that L then and re-do it all tomorrow, making sure to save a lot more frequently

You can also turn on the autosave feature in studio. Go to File > Studio Settings > Studio > Auto-Recovery and then mess with Auto-Recovery Enabled & Auto-Recovery Interval. This should ensure that you at least have autosaves if something like this happens again in the future.

Final update for anyone visiting in the future: I figured out how to recover all my drafts:

For some weird reason after my connection dropped and I was re-connected to studio, team create disabled Collaborative Scripting silently however the drafts windows remained open (but empty) and the toggle for Collaborative Scripting still showed enabled. This gave the impression that all my drafts had been lost.

To fix, I toggled back and fourth Collaborative Scripting a few times, set it to false, disabled team create, restarted studio, enabled team create, set Collaborative Scripting to true again, disabled team create, restarted studio, enabled team create, et voila, my drafts were back.
