I have run into this annoying bug a couple of times, every time I do, it makes me go back to classic to do all my opacity maps.

1- I create an opacity map named Alpha01. I apply it to my project, all is fine and when the scene is refreshed, my opacity map applies correctly.

2- I decide I want to edit my opacity, so I do my edits and overwrite my file in my folder, to then replace my opacity file in studio, this is when my opacity simply does not update. It remains the unedited version... unless I apply a file that has a completely different name to the one I originally created, it will not update.

This means I need a new file every single time I make a change to the opacity.. if I am working on a map of a mesh I have never worked with before, this can mean dizens of files.

So when this happens, I go back to classic, make my opacitys and go back to studio to submit my finished product.

I am assuming this should not be happening and replace file should be working.

Thanks!

I had some opacity issues after the update, so I reinstalled Studio to see if it was getting any better, but it didn't. I derived the same item again and it worked but the previous one is impossible to fix. I reinstalled Studio for a second time and now it's not even loading.

Oh! Maybe thats why I thought that changing the setting fixed, maybe it was the update.... because I did update recently. I will re-apply the optimization and re-try tomorrow. Thanks!

@MissMaya What version of Studio are you on? The current version is 1.13.6

This issue has come up for others as well and I believe we have a fix for it in the latest version, 1.13.6

Hey @MissMaya Have you tried the "Optimize Previews Off" ? This setting turned Off will force the asset to immediately update with IMVU Servers, etc. I am wondering if the Asset is getting "confused" between your location and the IMVU Servers. I may be way off here but, it is worth a try.

I have had this happen. I was Saving Often and able to close the Studio and reopen it to get things back on track. This option too should not be needed to make things work.

Try the Optimize Previews in the greyed-out or Off position. It may help. File > Preferences > Optimize Previews > toggle.

toggle I hope this helps...
