@zak666 You have to use quotes, like this, when setting PlayerPrefs:

PlayerPrefs.SetString("Lives" + fileToUse, "");
PlayerPrefs.SetString("checkpoint1world1" + fileToUse, "");
PlayerPrefs.SetString("checkpoint2world1" + fileToUse, "");

And to call them back: PlayerPrefs.GetString(“Lives” + fileToUse);
