    Hello, there seems to be a problem with VFX Graph not saving anything that I work on. It works perfectly until i close the program. I am on URP and working in a Collab project with another person.
    My procedure is: i create a vfx graph file, drag into the scene or the hierarchy, i click on it, open vfx graph i make desired changes, create some nodes, etc, i click compile and then close vfx graph and Unity. Then , when i come back, the vfx graph is there, but its completely reset, with the basic system.

    Workaround: Grpah is saved if you click the "compile" button and close the graph window manually (or switch Unity Layout)

    omg Unity. I lost hours and hours of work because it didn´t save at all. Today I´m running tests, and it just do not save. I did try to copy and paste the project, the VFX graph, restart the computer, make a small change and see if it save, nothing works. Hit compile and close, saving the project, the scene. Nothing makes this little devil to save my changes...
    it´s a nightmare :/

    Is anyone here able to resolve this? I can't save new .vfx files regardless of what I do. I've tested by creating a new project (2019.4.16) and adding just the Visual Effects package. I get the following exception on a Mac
