Hi all. I get a error message in Painter "[Data Preset] Invalid preset resource:\\project/EF-2000 Stick". I already did a Resource update and a Clean. Doesn't matter what I do, the file crashes on save. Is there a workaround ?
Cheers Olli

Hi, 

Would you be able to share your log? 

Is it possible to share your project? This might be a corrupted project file. 
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Geoffroy

This bug exists for 7+ years. Allegorithmic never bothered, Adobe so far either.

Pretty sure they could find a way to SAVE hours of work despite a material issue in the project's library. But as they never fixed that, so far all you can do is : lose hours of work 😕😕

Happened to me yesterday again. Spent an hour trying to find a solution. No culprit visible in the library. Until Painter crashed... 7 hours of work gone as the "auto-save" was saving : nothing.

So damn annoying bug...

hi buddy,
I found a way myself when substance painter crashes at saving i put everything in a folder and create a smart material of them, and just save it. that's it! and just close the sp and open it again this time i load the old save and delete all layers and add the smart materials to bring back all the layers and everything
