Thus far we've been unable to verify or reproduce this bug. Or, it has been observed but it cannot be triggered with a reliable test case. You can help us out by editing your report or adding a comment with more information.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
I was trying to test my game and it didn't connect me for some reason on the DMB, so I went to the coding and I clicked on a file, then compiled in the Dream Maker, and it said "Cannot Read 3rd Hokage.dm" or some kind of error message to that extent. So now I dont pay any mind to it and I compile again, and I see it again, so then I close Dream Maker and reopen the same file and it says it doesn't exist and it removes it from the list. Now I'm like "What the hell is this!?" and I look at the folder and suddenly the file was missing, so I check the recycle bin and every file I deleted before my last recycle bin clearing (which was yesterday) was there except for the file.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
I compiled on another file and I got the same error message, however the file wasn't deleted.

Expected Results:
Successfully compiling the game making it able to be ran
Actual Results:
Gives an error saying "Cannot read [filename].dm!" and when Dream Maker is restarted, it deletes the file at start up and gives the "File not found. Removing from list" error.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
It hasn't happened until just today. I hadn't installed the latest Byond today just so you guys know that it didn't happen with past releases.
Edit: It happens once and a while, but not too often.
In other games?
Yes (Good thing I created backup files for them in case I got the same results, which I did)
In other user accounts?
Yes, I tested with another account (Iobject)
On other computers?
Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?
When I was in the previous update of Byond

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Byond 488
Workarounds:
Keep backup files, make sure "Show all files" is unchecked, it still happens with it unchecked, but it doesn't do it as often.
I experienced this myself a long time ago. I don't remember the cause and it's an extremely rare occurrence. Unfortunately, because it's so rare of an issue, this may be nearly impossible to fix, due to the fact that it's so hard to reproduce.
Since I've never run into this, and there's no info on how to reproduce it in a reliable fashion, this will have to go in the Unverified pile.
