Animations that are seen in game won’t be seen in studio, even after updating them.
Repo steps
Make an animation
Upload it
Test it in Studio by pressing play. Your changes are visible.
Now repeat:
Make a change
Upload it to the original animation
Test it in Studio by pressing play. Your changes are visible.
This is the expected result
Now try this:
Make a change
Upload it
Test it in Studio by pressing play. Your changes are visible.
Publish the game
Test it in the game by pressing play. Your changes are visible.
HOWEVER, as soon as you try to publish another change to this animation, both in Studio and in the game, you will never see a new version of that animation on this device.
Thus, we’re forced to make new animations, with new IDs, which makes updating the game really painful.
Expected behavior
I expect when I update an animation, to be able to see it, the cache should be invalidated, this is a significantly workflow issue with making animations on Roblox, especially when we’re doing lots of back-and-forth updates between animations and gameplay.
Bug Report: Animation Asset version not updating after running servers
Steps to Reproduce:
Upload an animation to Roblox.
Overwrite the animation asset ID with an adjusted version or any modification.
Issue: When testing this in Roblox Studio, the expected result is achieved. In studio it actually shows the most recent version of the animation. However when the game is published with the old version and you later attempt to overwrite the animation asset ID with adjusted data, the update doesn’t take effect. Even after restarting servers it continues to play the old version.
Expected Results: The asset ID that was overwritten with the new adjustment should play the updated version of the animation.
Current Outcome: The animation playback does not play recent version and it continues to play the old version despite attempts to update it forcing a reupload of a complete new asset ID
