Error won't allow playtest, please help

    Hello,

    So I recently had some computer malfunctions, and transferred over all my Essentials files to a pin drive. Now that my computer is okay, I put all the files back on and attempted to work on my game again. However, I got the error seen in the uploaded image.

    I tried downloading the latest version of Essentials again, and then replace the files with my files, but to no avail. I am unable to playtest, play the game through the .exe file, or use the editor. I have no idea why this is, because I have not changed anything in the metadata.txt file.

    If anyone knows how to fix this, please help me. I would be devastated if I lost all the progress on my game. Thanks!

    The error message couldn't be more clear than that, something is wrong with your PBS called metadata.txt. It's either a form problem or you just need to save it in UFT-8.
