We will be updating to GME version 0.8.9 on Monday, August 5th. This update involves moving from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, which allows for increased performance, graphics, and gameplay.
Before the update, please make sure that you save any maps you'd like to port over to the new version.
This allows the new GME to correctly load maps built in older versions of the program. If you are unable to complete this before Monday, don't worry! A public branch of the old version of GME will be available on Steam, allowing you to save your maps at a later time.
To save your maps, follow these steps:
1. Open your map in GME
2. Click on the "Options" icon
3. Select "Save" as you normally would
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all maps you wish to port over
5. Save backups of all your maps
As an additional safety measure it is recommended to save a copy of all your map FOLDERS to a seperate location on your computer.
The Main Menu of GME has a button to easily take you to your Save Games location.
If you have any issues please feel free to reach out to us on our Discord!
