Animation No Longer Works!? Now This One Too!?

[LibertinaValkyria]

Mkay. I've been messing with AOs since the day I started SL. I've used prebuilt ones, and I've collected animations to use in my own. Here's an issue I keep coming across.

Usually, everything will work fine, animations go through and display, and there's no issues.

However, every so often, an animation just suddenly STOPS WORKING.

I'm not talking "I sat on a thing, a dance hud triggered" etc. 

I mean, even after hitting Stop Animating Me, relogging, clearing cache, fresh install of viewer, even going so far as to buy a new copy of the animation in question...

It won't turn on in the AO, and it won't even activate when I turn the animation on as its own item.

 

 

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to make my seemingly broken animation files work again?

My poses and animations also stop working after a short while. That includes dance AO and individual poses - also the Firestorm Pose Stand. The problem started a couple of weeks ago, doen't matter which outfit or avatar or viewer I use.

 

Seems like a griefing attack or is it just SL ?

yeah, Animations have been broken since maybe mid December and I think it's Firestorm because these weirdnesses happened about the time we got the fix for people's smilers causing a crash.

I have a bunch that used to loop that now stop animating after 2 or 3 loops. And often I will terminate an animation and it will keep playing - even after stop animations is hit. Needs a relog to actually get the animation to stop.
