Last friday I was working on a Ignition project that connects to a PLC inside of a VM. I finish my work, save everything, and exit the VM. Now today, I tried reopening my project to show someone and it’s not there on the Ignition Home page when you start the gateway. When I go to configure, I see the project present. Opening the project in Designer doesn’t show any of the tags or windows, only the scripts. What happened and is there a way to fix this? ---

Is there anything in the logs? ---

Heres the wrapper.log.1 from Friday, the regular wrapper, and gcu log. 6’/7 was the last day I worked on everything. I mostly see error messages the same as I was seeing as I was designing, nothing out of the ordinary. Then today, 6/10, is when the issues happened.

I just had a coworker try to open up the project in a new gateway of the same Ignition version and it worked. Also, trying to export from the project, despite only seeing scripts, I see the windows but they’re under a table called “Unknown” and there’s a few that are just blank. ---

Do you have any errors in the _designer_ console? It sounds like it might be that one or more modules are failing to load in the designer, which would lead to things not showing up/‘Unknown’ status for various things. ---

Looks like the Vision module didn’t load. Can you confirm in your gateway that it’s running? ---

Gateway is running and I am able to do everything else in it. It does seem to be the Vision Module as I just tried to create a New project and again, no Windows dropdown in the designer. ---

Your designer is claiming Vision is not installed whatsoever. Can you confirm it’s installed and running on your gateway? ---

Oh I see now all my modules are faulted except for Symbol Factory which is loaded. I tried restarting the Vision Module but no effect, still faulted. ---

```auto Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.gateway.FPMIGatewayHook ``` Do all of your module versions match with your gateway’s version? You may just need to call in to support, but something’s very wrong with your Vision module installation. ---

Yup, it was Vision 9.9.4, the version for Ignition 7.9.4. The only thing I saw that was too far ahead was reporting module which was a .10, but even with that gone it didn’t do anything. Also uninstalling and reinstalling the correct versions did nothing because it kept saying the certificates expired in November 2018. ---

You could try upgrading your entire system to 7.9.11 (which is worth doing anyways)? ---

Try this: on the gateway, delete the data/jar-cache folder and restart the gateway. This could be related to a bug that happened in 7.9.4, and was fixed in 7.9.5.
