Just want a simple animation to play (plays in viewport not in standalone)

I have a model which is animated which I dragged the animation file over the the viewport. When I click play it will animate the character in the viewport window in a loop just as I need. But when I click “play as standalone” it is stuck in the T-pose. I have searched everywhere and cannot get this thing to animate in a standalone build. I don’t need anything special with it, I just need it to start playing just as does in the viewport when I press play. I am using the first person template. Any ideas?

I figured it out by right clicking the animation file, renaming it because it was a long strange name then choosing save. (there was an asterisk in the thumbnail preview originally and it kept giving me an error that it could not save) I am not sure if this was a bug. Hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem and saving the file individually by right-clicking in the content browser worked. Weird.

Thanks for sharing this solution @haggler2. This worked for me as well.
