I am working on a project with many characters - each linked from one single .blend file, using library overrides.

enter image description here The outliner in the image below shows the source file for the characters. enter image description here I really like the library override system - everything is working perfectly and exactly as intended - until I open the exact same file on a different system, save and re-open.

This is what happens: enter image description here

All the characters 'merge' into one armature. The image below shows that the library override icons are still present.

enter image description here

I have checked that paths are set to relative on both systems, and each system is using the exact same Blender version 3.0.0

Why this is happening is just beyond me, hence this request for help. Has anyone experienced this and figured out a solution before?

Edit: When appending from this file, here is the list of errors that is posted: (taken with a camera) enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Hehe we'll get to the bottom of it :) Did you Duplicate Linked your collections when adding a new character or create a new lib override from the original linked collection each time ? Or if you prefer, do you armatures, bones or meshes objects share the same data ? You can see if a mesh is shared in the mesh properties for instance : i.sstatic.net/IdyKe.png $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Each character was added using file->link [collection] and then 'make library override'. The part I find most bizzare is everything works as intended, even on a different system - until after saving and re-opening. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hmm it's beginning to look like a system limitation unfortunately... :/ $\endgroup$
