I don't know yet if this is a repeatable bug, but if I try to load some older props into an existing project, I get a prompt asking me to convert the prop to make it compatible with the version of iClone. 

If I let it convert, it sometimes converts and sometimes the progress is at 26% and iClone crashes.

I don't quite understand why I get the prompt because they are just props.

Yes, I've used iClone since Version 4 and this seems like the least stable release (8.2) I've ever used.  iClone has crashed several times, mostly when loading a "new" or existing project while a current project is already loaded.  It seems like having Motion Live window open aggravates the problem, but it isn't 100% repeatable.  One time it even locked up my computer requiring a reboot.

We have a couple of licences.  On one install, it crashes when you have a project loaded and try to load another project.  Happens every single time, absolutely killing batch rendering!  On the second computer, it won't load any of the projects created in 8.2 on the first computer.  Both are up to date/patched, and have all the content assets downloaded.

These projects are 1 avatar, around 1 min long.

Hello,

I've noticed some problems since the update. 

1 = The face texture of my character disapear when I make a render photo or video. I think it happens when I've added a substance tool layer with the new wrinkles tool. (without the substance tool layer it's working fine but I need it for my animation)

2 = When I render a project (about 6min30 of animations) for many hours, when it's finish I get a box to tell me that's over and I can read the video. When I click "Yes" nothing happen and when I check my video it's empty (0Mo) It's very strange, because this situation is totally random (I already get this problem some months ago, but it's also working fine on others projects). I noticed that I don't get this problem anymore if I disable the compression. But for a big project, my video will be too big :blink:

3 = I still have the problem about the fact I can't read my video after 44 700 frames in 60FPS (but I can read if the project is in 30FPS)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong as this feature is new.
However, when I tested it;
The wrinkle feature is imported to UE if you export the character in fbx format.
However, if you transfer the character to UE via live link, unfortunately it doesn't work.

Since the release of IC8, the routine for caching Iray images has changed.
In IC7, project load routine would only cache Iray images if the Iray Render Setting window is opened.
Otherwise, if Iray window was closed during the project load and you bring it up later on, the caching process would start at that moment.

Not the case in IC8. It would start caching Iray images regardless on all projects opening.
I rarely use Iray and keep Iray Settings window closed. But on heavily textured projects, the caching takes a long time on opening and a lot of disk space.
And then I suppose it does refresh Iray cache every time I change something. Extremely inefficient and unnecessary. Should be reverted back to IC7 way.

Unless someone knows the setting to control Iray caching process, I will post a ticket in FT later on....
