animated proxies not updating

im using proxies to deal with some animated characters. it works fine, apart from, when i open the file, the character is not animated. i have to select the proxy, change the display style, then change it back again, and it then updates to the correct frame and works with viewport playback. unless i do that, it does not even render the correct frame.

this isnt too painful, but i have to render the final sequences on Deadline, and im worried i will have issues.

i found an old post which suggested loading the same file in the “preview mesh” slot, but this does not appear to help at all.

Does this happen with a particular .vrmesh/.abc file? If yes, could you share it along with a recording of the issue?

it happens so far with all the proxies ive created for this job. .. i can save out a stripped file and send it, dont have time to do a recording right now, as id have to install something to do it and im on a deadline. support@chaosgroup?
