Hi everyone! I am using the animation sample with a metahuman. In the Editor, the hair flows beautifully but when I package the game for testing, the metahuman groom won’t stayed fixed to the head. It looks like the entire wig rotates. Ive tried for several hours hesitant to ask for help. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Viewport PIE, character preview, windows PIE, standalone all work fine, but once I actually package the game it stops working and I’m losing my mind. Might this be a graphics card physics issue? How would you even go about trying to fix that? I don’t even know where else to start looking.

Hi buddy I have the same problem, I have already tried a bunch of settings, after packing the hair physics disappears! Do you have version 5.4.4? Maybe it’s an engine bug?
