Hi,
There seems to be a problem with the new build. I just installed it and tried to make couple new positional stats but when saving the stat, pt3 popups error message saying "You must enter a valid name. The chosen name contains invalid characters."
I also tried just to dublicate a stat, change the name and title and save it again but I get the same error.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

What name are you trying to assign?

I tried basic names, like renaming "VP$IP - blinds" to VPIP. There shouldn't be any special letters that aren't allower. I also asked my friend to try it and he gets the same error.

I did some testing and it seems I cannot even edit old statistics. I get the same error message even if I only change the formulas.
Does anyone else who updated older version to build 5 have this problem?

What do I need to backup to keep my current pt settings and hud layouts if I try to reinstall pt3?

I haven't heard of that problem from anybody else, though I haven't done any testing myself lately on the custom stats side of things. The files you'd need to backup can be found here.

I just tried this in Build 5 and it works fine for me.

Please submit a Bug Report with a log file showing you reproducing the problem, and a screenshot of the stat that won't save.

I posted the bug report with a short video attached where I reproduce the bug.

I also noticed another post about this problem.

Thanks - we've established the problem and reported it to the development team.
I expect it will be fixed for the next release.
