VaM 1.x Can't load a scene

[AGZXTT]

Hi everyone, since this is my first use of the forum im not 100% sure that im posting at the right place so feel free to correct me if needed.

So my problem is that i had a project to make a custom room made only from cua to learn more things about vam and what is possible or not (and i mean A LOT of cua's, probably more than 100), first thing i did was to set up a slate and pretty much just add all the assets in loose position to review what i wanted to use and what i didn't.
After that i saved and it load OK even with lots of assets, but then i did all the posing, pretty much 3/4 was done on the same day so i didn't really need to load at that point and as you can guess, now when i tried to finish the day after, none of the save loads only the early one with loose cua's and a slate.. I don't understand what could the problem be, it's mostly static cua with vamifier applied, when i try to load it doesn't crash or anything, the game just stop loading, everything kind of work but it stays on "loading restoring atom content" and fps goes back to idle like the game gave up the loading of the scene all i could find in the logs is that exception but i didn't find any info about it :

StackOverflowException: The requested operation caused a stack overflow.

and it goes on for a while like that then nothing... Any idea on how i could save that scene cause it was a bit of a pain in the ass to pose all the cua's individually id love not having to redo it, thanks a lot to anyone who has read everything, have a nice day!

'Circular Parenting' is probably the problem (e.g. parenting an atom to itself). This can e.g. happen when cloning atoms.

Make a copy of the scene.json file, open in an editor and search for parentAtom / look for circular references and remove them. I had that problems once, removed all parenting in the .json manually and that solved it for me. You can edit the .json in any texteditor but i recommend using Visual Studio Code for that. It has pretty good syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

Oooooh yes! That would be it i think, i indeed cloned some atoms! Thank you very much mate i'll try this asap, have a nice one.
