thanks for responding…my setup is properly done, it worked before updating, my setup is comprised of Montages the ONLY thing the state machine handles in transitioning between blendspaces, out of the 2+ years using this engine ive never ran into an issue using this method, I know it well. I combed thru my blueprints for 3 days before posting here to make sure…so I’m pretty sure its a bug its just a pain to work with
