[p]Course creators! Thanks for your feedback on the Quality of Life update![/p][p][/p][p]We have now released a hotfix that fixes an issue that was causing certain Level Editor assets to disappear in Custom Levels. This issue has now been resolved, and any assets that were missing from custom courses are once again visible and interactable.[/p][p][/p]
Please note:
[p]If you have not edited or updated your custom courses in the Quality of Life update to replace the missing assets, you shouldn’t need to do anything further to fix your courses.[/p]
[p]If you have edited your course since the Quality of Life Update to replace the missing assets, those original assets will also reappear. This means both the original and replacement assets will now be present in your level.[/p]
[p]Reappeared assets in updated courses will be set to a default scale of \[1,1,1], as their original scale data was unfortunately lost during the previous update. These assets may need to be rescaled or re-rotated as needed.[/p]
