Apparently Random Freezes When Loading Expressions

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

This has been happening on and off for a few weeks now and I really can't get to the bottom of it.  Every now and then I'll try to load an expression onto G8F and the system will freeze indefinitely.  It is currently hanging and has been for about 10 mins.  I've tried killing the process and reloading but that doesn't help either.  It's a very rare intermittent error and even on relatively simple scenes so I don't see it as a resource issue.  Has anybody else come across this and ideally found a solution?  Of at least an idea why it is happening so I can avoid it in future?  Thanks.

    Expressions involve a lot of bones, many with interactions with shaping morphgs (which have to be checked even if the shape is zeroed). Ten minutes does not sound impossibly long, how long have you left it on other occasions?

    Do you have Auto Face Enhancer enabled?

    I didn't even know that's a thing so possibly?  Possibly not?

    Probably 20 mins at most, patience isn't my strong suit.   laugh  I guess it makes sense, and perhaps the randomness is down to the complexity of the gubbins the vendor has put under the character's hood so to speak.  Well at least I'm probably not doing anything stupid then.

    Okay so that's a plugin I haven't picked up so that would be a know.  Thanks for the suggestion though, I can see why it might cause serious lag loading expressions .  It does look good though.  No.  Stop it. I don't need it...

    What does your log say when you are loading an expression?
