Problem saving instantiated object references in a list.

[craig]

I instantiate some UI prefabs which are saved in a list, Auto save is saving the gameobjects in the scene, but the list is saving empty gameobjects, all elements are None(GameObject).
Stopping play and replaying again after this throws

FormatException: Expected '{' or "null", found ','.

Can provide more info if needed, the prefabs all have auto save and es3prefabs on them and i have added the script to the custom types

Hi there,

I've not seen this issue before. Please could you create a new project with a simple scene which replicates this and private message it to me with instructions.

All the best,
Joel

Done.
