In a previous thread, about 3 years ago, I experienced this same issue on a different route and was told it was fixed in TANE. Clearly that fix did not carry over to TRS19 (build 111952), as here we go again, I'm losing all data for random tiles across the route I'm working on currently.
Making a bad situation worse, I've tried following the steps to restore an automatic backup, but these all fail miserably.
The mapfile errors continue for a variety of mapfile files, all with .vtx, .obs, and .trk extensions. When it gets down to the session folder I'm trying to restore, I get
Trying an older method of opening the route and session for editing in Explorer, copying the backup data in (replacing files where necessary) and Submitting the edits results in the illegal characters error and does not continue any further.
I'm utterly at wit's end with this software, because of the sheer number of failed routes I've been working on that have corrupted in so many different ways. I keep trying because I enjoy looking forward to what should be a nice end route, but never get that far because of garbage like this. Issues like this have occurred over many years, many different installations, many different versions, and at least 2 computers, so I don't see how it could be blamed on anything else besides bad software.
