Description

I think it’s a permission bug because I wasn’t able to print photos either until I turned print photos off and back on under the Creator Permission Settings. Right after I fixed the printed photos, I wasn’t able to save inventions anymore. I’ve tried doing the same process with photos where I turn off “can save inventions”, and turning it back on but it still doesn’t allow me to save inventions and neither can anyone else who’s tried it.

I know roles override permissions and I’ve checked the roles to see if the ones I have are turned off for saving inventions and they’re not. I’ve even tried deleting all the role chips in the room and saving, then going to a new instance, and even after all that I still can’t save inventions.

It’s crazy cause just yesterday I was saving inventions without any issues and today it’s not letting me. It’ll let me select what I want to make into an invention, name the invention, but as soon as I go to take a picture of the invention it says cannot save invention ERROR

A painfully annoying bug. Hopefully we can get an patch soon!

Hello! Here are some steps you can follow to try to fix your issue. If this issue persists after you do these steps please reach out for further support!

  1. Check Permissions:
  • Double-check the Creator Permission Settings for both photos and inventions. Make sure that “Can Save Inventions” is enabled for your role and any other roles that might affect saving inventions.
  1. Reset Roles:
  • Since you’ve already tried deleting role chips, consider resetting your roles completely. Remove all roles, save the room, then re-add the necessary roles and configure permissions again.
  1. Room Ownership:
  • Ensure that you are the owner of the room or have the necessary permissions to save inventions. Sometimes, permissions can be overridden by the room’s ownership settings.
  1. Reboot the Game:
  • Completely close Rec Room and restart it. This can help refresh any settings or permissions that may not have been applied correctly.
  1. Check for Updates:
  • Make sure that Rec Room is updated to the latest version. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in updates that can resolve issues like this.
  1. Test in a New Room:
  • Create a new room and see if you can save inventions there. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your current room.
