Camera freeze after latest update.

 

Hi

I have never experienced this issue before until i today updated to latest aximmetry version.

Camera moves from point A to B but after a couple minutes it resets camera and freezes whole project. I can't do anything until i reload the whole project.

Aximmetry still works (clicking on stuff in aximmetry works) but the output/preview is frozen.

here is video of issue, fast forward to 3:38 and you will se problem happening at 3:40.

I have tried alot but nothing works for example changing camera path and edited camera paths, no change. Only the camera freezes and can't be touched. The software itself still works. When i reload the project it works again but that is not sustainable as you can understand.

Why is this happening? Can i downgrade so it works?

Hi Dainja,

Can you do a screenshot of your Cameras Control Board in the state when the crash of the running .xcomp happens, like this:

This would greatly help in finding the issue.

Warmest regards,

Hello,
I had the exact same issue, and solved it.

I found the problem being in the Unreal Engine Scene project itself. I used the same studio scene layout, and found out that there was plenty of unneeded assets involved in the project. I deleted FPS Game asset folder completely. 

Also, from the Level Blueprint, I toggled off "Start with Tick Enabled" setting. Compiled and saved the blueprint and then cooked the project again. 

After these fixes, the camera freeze issue disappeared.

Esirippu: thanks!


Eifert: will provide image tomorrow sorry for late answer. 


I did fix it, after failing for like the 20th time, aximmetry showed a error message stating that it  ould find I Think I can't remember but I think "playerstart", I deleted it from unreal and It worked, even. I get some other error message now but everything works and it doesn't freeze. 


Good to know tho is that it happened after latest update of aximmetry. I have been working with said project many time before the update with no issues

Here is image you asked for Eifert.


As i said in comment above, i fixed it by removed something from UE, but i don't remember what, maybe you can figure out by message in the image below:

Hi Dainja,

We recommend moving the Player Start to a location (transform) well outside of your scene instead of deleting it. Cause if you delete Player Start, Unreal will try to generate and place a new one. You can see this in your screenshot, in the Messages it says Unreal trying to place a Player Start.

We tried to recreate your freeze by placing Player Start in different ways, but to no avail.

Warmest regards,
