Stingray unexpected crashes

Sometimes when im working on something else. like scripting in unit flow. using the script editor. or woking in animation controller means doing something else other on direct scene. even if there's empty level. and when i look back at stingray. And its like crash down as backend server. stops responding. then i have to restart the stingray couple of times sometimes. sign out my user account and sign back in to refresh the system Cache. And i also observed that in a unit which has been set with multi-layer animation whenever i select the unit . or its skeleton. the stingray restarts unexpectedly and needs to refresh after a couple of refreshes it starts back i. i first thought that my asset is bogging but. then i observed another asset which is working fine at first with base layer animations and whenever i setup multilayers animation that same happens to it too although if i correctly setup my blend mask and correctly assigned hierarchy to control the animation. the stingray is less likely to crash but. the question is these kind of crashes were not in v 1.2 and v1.3 no matter how ive setup my multilayer animations. can anyone please look into this as these kind of crashes are hinders in development progress.Thankyou

Hey Shani

 

I know youhave been using the engine for a while now, but, i'm wondering if maybe you have not cleared the cache in a while (delete the game _data folder).  It sounds to me that there is either an error somewhere in your game that is a problem that the compiler is getting stuck on or the games cache is acting up.  Without more to go on with this specific problem, its hard for me to help diagnose but that's where i would suggest to start.

 

I know you are a fairly avid user so forgive me if i am stating something obvious and has already done.

 

Paul

Yes i tried deleting the cache folder in c:/ as well but up to no luck . I've worked with multilayer animations before but. it doesn't crashes like that however ill try again deleting the data folder.  As a second thought the backend editor crashes are more and more frequent and usually occurs when im working off screen with something else. its seems something conflicts between the connection with backend editor and viewport.
