The character template that ships with Stingray is a good place to start. There are many tutorials online and a wealth of information in the Stingray help documents. 🙂

The engine runs as a 'server' and the editor connects to it sort of like a 'client'. So you can lose the connection if there is a problem. This could be due to firewalls or having ports that are not open. This should normally not happen. Can you provide reproduction steps for when this happens so we can find a solution?

It's most likely a content issue. There is something in your mesh/materials, etc ... that doesn't play well with the engine. Hard to debug remotely. I will look to see if we have any other bugs with a similar call stack.
