    Well, I know I have. I just got to work on my second map for FH today, and I'm pretty impressed with myself. I started interlocking, and I had about 1/8 of the map done. I spent an hour or two with my friend interlocking, putting spawn points, and putting VIP points. It wasn't overall complex, but it sure took a lot of time.

    And then when I was making one final interlock before I called it a day, I press END GAME. I didn't even realize what was going on till me and my friend were in the lobby screaming because of how much time we had spent.

    I still have a bit of it, but not the well interlocked parts that had taken so much time. I know I should save the map often.... But yeah. I didn't.


    So I want to know, has this happened to you? And what did you do?

    Yeah this has happened to me. I save a lot more now though. Everytime I do something I don't want to have to do again... I save. Before I saved all the time though, when the game ended, I'd get pissed, get over it and start again.

    This happens to me on numerous occasions. If it ever happens to me I'll say to myself "I'm not playing this damn game". Then five minutes later I will load he last save point and start it up again. It's an inconvenience, that's why I have tried to save as often as I remember. No matter how small the change.

    You probably didn't hit "End Game". My guess is that you played 32 rounds. After that 32nd round, the game ends. It used to happen to me all the time, until I realized about the rounds. Now, it never happens to me.

    Whenever I do something that takes a quite a bit of effort, i.e. Geomerging or a really intricate Interlock I save before AND after as two different saves, and I save very frequently, to make sure nothing like this happens, but if it does, its usually (Like on my newest map (NOT OUT YET)) I did that with my Oddball items, which sucked when I went to play test.

    Neverless, it was a quick fix.

    yeah... this happens to me a lot.. lol. Even worse tho, is one time i was making a new map out of an older one, and i was going to save it as a new map so i could keep both maps. But, i forgot and instead hit "save changes". poof. gone. no more old map. thank god i put it in my fileshare before i did that... i would still be kicking myself.

    If you click start new round so many times it automatically ends.

    Really? I actually didn't know that. Can someone near an xbox verify it's 32 rounds?
