NPC play_animation_controller.Play() Broken after 32.00 Update

Summary

play_animation_controller.Play(animation_sequence) is broken after the 32.00 update.

I have retargeted animations that were playing just fine prior to the update. They are still playing fine in the animation preset blueprint.

However if you try to get the NPC’s fort_character and play_animation_controller and play an animation it defaults to play_animation_state.Error.

I have tried different Retargeted Anims from diff sources as well as different anim_presets.

Here is the snippet for testing

using { /Fortnite.com/AI }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /Fortnite.com/Characters }
using { /Verse.org/Assets }
using { /Fortnite.com/Animation/PlayAnimation }
using { /Verse.org/Colors }

    case(PAS):
        play_animation_state.Error => "Error"
        play_animation_state.Interrupted => "Interrupted"
        play_animation_state.Stopped => "Stopped"
        play_animation_state.Playing => "Playing"
        play_animation_state.BlendingIn => "Blending In"
        play_animation_state.BlendingOut => "Blending Out"
        play_animation_state.Completed => "Completed"

                            set Time += 0.01
