Linked Follow Actions getting stuck

Post by tjspurge » Mon Jun 21, 2021 5:42 pm

I have clip follow actions set to 'Linked' with a 100% chance of playing 'Other'. After launching a block of clips, eventually it will get stuck playing the same clip over and over. I have checked and rechecked that I'm using the correct settings for the follow actions but something is wrong. All the clips are set to 100% Other. Any ideas on what could be causing this? They work fine in 'Unlinked' mode. I'm on Live 11.0.1

Update: Apparently it's only the "other' setting which has the issue. I set the follow actions to "any" and the issue is gone. Still wish I could use "other" properly though :!:

I'll add to this that if your answer is yes, then please report this to support@ableton.com please.

I have the same problem. Here is a project that will inevitably get stuck on one clip.

ian, i just tried your set in 11.0.5 (will randomly get stuck) and 11.0.10b1 (works fine) so seems to be fixed.

as chapelier says, this is in the release notes:
• Fixed a bug where Follow Actions were not scheduled as expected, under certain circumstances.
