Project not saving, no matter what i do

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 126.0.0.0, No Flash version detected
I was trying to give the last touches to my ready-to-be-shared project when the message saying that it could not save appeared. Trying to click the save button over and over again won't do anything. I'm doing my thing on the Brave browser, with Windows 11. I have tried saving my project into computer (the .sb3 file is 6 828 Ko) and then uploading it into the website, but the message appears right away. I also didn't notice anything weird when checking the .zip version of the .sb3 file. I don't want to share an undone project to the website, but I'll be ready for any kind of questions. Could you please help?

I’m getting the same error too. For some reason, it only starts crashing when I add something to the costume editor.

The sb3 file is 6.8 megabytes, which is higher than the 5mb limit. Try to optimize the code or costumes.

Solution: Log out then sign back in.

We think this was resolved on our end, but you will need to take action to see the fix on your end. Please save your project(s) locally by selecting Save to your computer. Then, log out of Scratch by using the Sign Out button on the account settings menu. Finally, log back into Scratch. You should then be able to save your project as normal. Good luck and sorry for the inconvenience.

After logging out, signing back in and loading the project from computer, it finally saved! Thank you all for your help!

That is not true, and that is the limit for the project.json file, which was a limit introduced in Scratch 3.0. There is no actual project size limit in 3.0, but in 1.x, it was 10MB and in 2.0, it was 50MB.

Same is happening to me, On Windows 10, I try to save but I get the same message again and again. I try and press download, create a new project, upload that project again, but It won't stop with the messages, one thing annoying is that everytime I try to start the project (the green flag) the message blocks it and then I cant even chck whats wrong with it!

Hello,

Have you tried the following procedure to save projects?
1) Leave the tab with your project open and go to a new tab
2) Go to the Scratch homepage (scratch.mit.edu) and log out
3) Log back in, go to the tab with your project. It should save!

If this doesn't work, be sure to download Scratch for PC. Then, download the project and you should be able to click the green flag and test your project.

Hopefully this helps!
