Animated Weather Effects & Spells Not Working

1650652978

Edited 1650687187
I purchased a few Animated Weather and Spells from the Marketplace to use in my game. Animated Graphics is enabled, I turned off all ad-ons on my Chrome, turned off and on UDL, and cleared cache and refreshed page to be sure. None of the effects work on any layer, attempted GM Layer, Map Layer, Token Layer and even Dynamic Lighting layer with negative results. Preview animates fine, but once the effect is dropped onto the VTT it remains stationary. Animated Mist and Fog, Animated Rain and Puddles, Animated Spells Set 1 & 2 are the Marketplace items that are not working for me. Please advise or let me know what else I can try to get them working....or at least let me know if this is an actual bug in the system. It seems odd to have animated marketplace items if they don't actually work anymore. If there is something I am not doing to get the animation to run I would like to know, because as far as I'm aware I've tried and attempted everything I could.

Not a good solution but you could try uploading the files into your quota, I know for a fact animations in the quota still work but I don't use animated gifs anymore, I find they loop a bunch then start to lag and play only a few frames before they freeze up and its highly dependent on the viewers pc stats how soon they slow down.

What happens if you click on the animation / right click on it? There should be a little menu giving you a few options (e.g. Loop). If this is not there or it still does not work for you, try file a help center request (support ticket)

I do not see anything that says something like "loop" only the options I normally see on non-animated objects. I'll put forward a help center request, thank you.

I have the animated spell circles and if I put them on the map I have different options to set. E.G. to set it to loop once, loop forever etc. But if you don't have it a help center request is the best option for you.

Turns out it doesn't work if I try to organize it in my library which is silly  because that's a lot of marketplace items to go through and you can't build up subfiles that way. It did work if I dragged straight from the Premium Assets tab. Annoying. I was trying to be efficient...makes the animated magic items less worthwhile if I have to dig through to find the right ones.
