I'm running into an issue saving my map. I can open it fine, but when I try to save I get an error "Unable to save file at location '<FILEPATH>'".

I have tried:
Reinstalling WC3 Reforged, no effect
Saving in a new location: I can save the file, but I have to create a new file each time
Restoring a backup: Same issue, even though the backup is from before the issue started


The issue began after I tried adding a new player to the map. I had been working on the map for a long time, and have saved multiple versions in the past without issue. Once I added a new player, I re-opened the player window to change the name and the world editor froze. When I closed and reopened it, the issue began.
I can edit and save other files, so there must be something with the map itself that clashes with the world editor. I don't know why the backups are also broken though.

I've attached the map file, and would appreciate any help people can give.

Try removing the ":" from the map name (Scenario/Map Description/Name), Save As something simple, close the editor, and re-open the map.

From there you might be able to Save normally again. Special characters don't always play nice, it's best to avoid anything that isn't super common.

Additionally, it's wise to save the map as a folder (one of the new options with 1.32+), which can help you in the future if other problems occur.
