Question - IDE Failed to load resource

Failed to load resource views\6efe6<long string of hexadecimals>.yy

Ever since I updated to 2.1.5 I've been getting this little error pop-up on loading my project. It doesn't seem to impact anything but I'd still like to get rid of it. I've read that people have been able to fix it by deleting a key in project.yyp but I have no idea what that key is or how to access it. Can anyone help?

Hello @basement ape,

I had a similar issue, and did exactly what you said you heard around here. Make a backup of your project, open project.yyp inside a code editor, open this editor finder and look for "6efe6<long string of hexadecimals>". You'll likely find something like:

        {
            "Key": "6efe6<long string of hexadecimals>",
            "Value": {
                "id": "1c18f<another long string of hexadecimals>",
                "resourcePath": "views\\6efe6<long string of hexadecimals>.yy",
                "resourceType": "GMFolder"
            }
        },

Then, having a backup, you can easily remove this from the file (pay attention to the comma at the end, and verify after deleting if your JSON is still valid using any webtool). After this removal, you can open your project and get no errors BUT, usually things like this means your project may have deleted a whole view from your project's resource manage. Which means it's good to have a pretty good look at all your assets and groups, to see if everything is still there and well organized.

I hope I've helped...

It worked, ah yih. I'm not sure what went wrong here but nothing seems to be missing or malfunctioning so I guess everything's okay. Thanks for the help )

Hi, what code editor do I open with or what do you recommend? I have the similar problem



EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out with Notepad++. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been suffering from this on loading for a while!

Maybe you can help with a related issue I've been having? Every time I create a group in the Included Folders, the next time I open up the project it gets renamed to group0. Seems to not be able to hold my folder names only in the included files
