[Problem] Can't play animation

[ori]

Hey guys.
I've been looking all over the internet for a solution to this, but I can't find any posts anywhere.
What happens is, I animate something on any map, click the play button, and it stays stuck on the starting image. Doesn't play any animation, no cameras, lights, models, particles, nothing.
I really need this fixing, because I'm working on a pretty big animation. I've used SFM for a long time, I recently uninstalled it while I installed Windows 10, then reinstalled it. Since I've reinstalled I've had the problem.

Is the animation surely recorded? Check Motion Editor and see if there are animation curves recorded. Or try scrubbing through the shots/animation and see if it does anything. It might be Win10 though, but this would be a new problem related to it. Others usually just have camera movement problems.

Thanks for the reply. Scrubbing through the shots does show the animation, and in the motion editor there are the curves, it just won't play the recorded animation when I hit play.

After googling it seems like it is indeed a Windows 10 problem with SFM. Here's a similar case.

Seems like you either need to go back to your previous OS or resort to just scrubbing or exporting test renders.

yeah, another Win10 problem with SFM. Btw Bolt, what's up with your first comment? Are you thanking someone or just looking for attention (which is unnecessary in this forum)?

What do you mean thanking? I haven't posted anything about thanking, apart from when Detonatress posted. Then I was only thanking him/her for getting a reply that is actually related to the discussion.

The first comment. It's just look silly.

The "What do you mean?" That was replying to IkerXD who said Thanks for no reason.

The second comment isn't his. It's IkerXD's who "thanked" the OP for whatever reason.

Strange, I'm running Windows10 Pro and I'm not having this problem, even opening REALLY old DMX session files. Pressing Play and pressing Space to start play work fine.

Nvidia or Ati graphics card?

It could be because I have an ATI card, but everything SHOULD be working fine. I also hate the fact I can't run SFM in compatibility mode for Windows 8, then it'd work.

I had the same issues and I can confirm that the prob is coming from the combo AMD GPU + windows 10, I have moved to Nvidia GPU and everything work now.
