I've transferred 1 character and animated it. Pretty cool. 

However, trying 2 characters can only drive one at a time. Not seeing anything in the manual or videos, unless I missed something. 

When trying to drive 2 at a time, they are transferred at the same origin, then when turning on live link they get all discombobulated. Any ideas?

Bad part is it looks painful! :)

Okay, so it has nothing to do with multiple characters. I tried from scratch and transferred just one character. It too was mangled. So let's start there. Any ideas why it would be mangled? It was created in CC3. No animation seems to transfer either.

@Wreeky
Test with a default CC3 to iClone, transfer to Live Link and see if it still happens.
If it doesn't, maybe your character has something with it that LiveLink can't do yet.

Oddly, when I first tested Live Link it worked great. Since building out the level, I'm having this issue. No amount of animating in iClone seems to budge the character when they get in this tangled mess. 

I imported the CC3 character Outfits Male with no modifications and still get the issue.

Also, I did this test with and without the Origin. New project with the character that originally imported with no problem. Now has the problem.

Camera also does not move when panning or dollying in iClone.

New project with no plugins except Live Link and CC Setup and the same character that went wonky works fine. So now I need to know why or what is causing the issue in the project where all the levels are already built out.I'm wondering if it has to do when i first tried transfer 2 characters at the same time? Has anyone transferred 2 characters without any issues? 

Here is one character transferred over with no problems.

Here I transferred the other by itself and posed them both using Live Link. No problems.

Will try again in the original project and level. Maybe a plugin or asset is causing the issue. Will unload the bigger ones.  I'll report back so we can close this issue.

Okay, success, but not really. So i force deleted all the RL Content from the first project and then closed Unreal. I copied the two character folders from the plain test project in File Explorer over to the RL Content folder of the first project that contained all the levels and content and plugins I didn't want to do over. Activated Live Link and it worked as predicted.

So somewhere when I transferred the two characters at the same time and from then forward it broke. No character I transferred after that directly into this project worked. I will probably end up doing the above copy and paste until i begin a new project. Which is now probably a good idea. Just need to get this scene completed and move on. Hope someone gets something from this.

Everything you posted I had issues with too. Now Im bumping into live link issues too. I did find out that a good portion of my FBX animations failed because I didnt add the O_ T pose in the export window First before anding the motion plus. since ive bought live link i havent tested that theory but its safe to say that had a impact. 
This is a GREAT resource that i will imediatly rewatch about 30 times to get it all but it should smooth things for you also.
My next Moon shot is trying to link cmy laptop as a second render pc , as if i needed that headache but if it helps smooth the FPS then i gotta try.
