Half of my map... GONE

[Joshua4]

Alright

Exposition

I added a lot of content to my map just yesterday.

Rising Action

“Oh got i’m sure tired!” Better save my map.
ERROR- Map could not be saved

"Oh thats not good… well ill just wait and keep spamming the button.

Oh no… its not saving! I guess ill just close it out…

CLIMAX

“I sure added a lot of stuff yesterday!” Lets play it with my buddies!

Hey… where is the shop? where is the super cool not necessary effects? WHERE IS THE RANDOMIZER BLOCK CODE I SPENT 30 MINUTES ON? WHERE IS SUPER SECRET BOSSFIGHT WITH A eldritch HORROR I MADE?

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHhhhhh…” - Joshua4

Ok, I checked the other posts. There weren’t a lot, I checked by status and everything, cleared my cache, task managed, and even spiritually sacrificed my other maps (I didn’t do that)

HELP! and as you can see, this plot diagram is missing a resolution.

I don’t think you can get it back. It didn’t save, so it’s gone.

Sorry :[

Instead of hitting the save, try playing the map. For some reason, it saves that way.
(See the guide Jhan posted.)

@Joshua4

Er… Like I did press play.

Everything worked perfectly. Also, all the deleted things were added during a specific timeframe.

A stupid saving glitch, then.
Again, sorry, no way to get it back.

Gimkit might be glitching, or it might be something with your wifi. Gimkit glitches out sometimes and doesn’t let you save stuff. I don’t think there’s a way to get it back, sry

Edit: Make sure to mark a solution when you’ve found an answer!

This might either be a device issue or a Gimkit server issue.

From my personal experience Gimkit automatically saves every few seconds and saves even if I close the tab.

So I think the problem could be your device or Gimkit servers (which might be influenced by where you live).

nice plot mountain lol. Maybe you restart your device

Bad news: We do not think there is any way to recover you map.

Good News: There is a way to make sure your map is saved, and to avoid this glitch again.
