Invalid XML: Root Element is Missing

Ah, the lovely error message.

When loading up a file, I am receiving the error message : "Failed to load game due to following errors: Invalid XML: Root Element is missing."

I had opened and worked on my project yesterday with no issues, and no tinkering between then and now with the code. I have not touched the direct code whatsoever.

Searches for previous instances of this error seemed universal in that upon loading it into an older version of Quest, it'd work. It certainly doesn't for me! I've also gone to open it in a notepad document, and was granted a blank document, with just a bunch of empty lines.

I'm currently using Quest 5.8.

Sounds like it failed to save. Hope you had a backup :S

.... I may or may not have forgotten to make a backup.

I have most of the writing on a document so I could just copy and paste it in, but I'm looking for a solution so that I don't have to code + write up descriptions all over again.
