Hi when i try to import an fbx who is NOT in the folder of GG, the fbx import doesn't work, BUT if i add teh fbx file inside the gg folder, and then import the file, it WORKS, with textures etc.
If the FBX is outside GG user folder, for example on the Desktop or another folder, 99% of time import of FBX doesn't work !!

I tried it with a couple I have but it made no difference to them ..
However if it does improve importation then its not actually that weird.
It would make sense that Lee has set the paths for best import via the User folder where the final files are saved to and stored ..

Not sure perhaps other users could see whether it improves results for them ?

I have imported several fbx items without a problem, no matter where or in which folder they are stored.
But i have GG installed on D, not in the programfiles folder, this might have to do with the read and write permissions of his windows user account i think.

tried again if the file is not in the GG /user, folder, the fbx import doesn't work, if i put the fbx inside that folder THEN it's correctly imported with the textures, if the file is on the Desktop GG keeps crashing in loop and i need to close GG with the task manager.
Im on windows 10, before on windows 7 but same problem too.

But it does for me and Earthling 45 ?
I did wonder though if doing what you said would auto load the textures but no ... its exactly the same for me.
Sorry ..

well it's weirds for me, maybe it's because i have a Steam version???
The cool thing is, it works nicely if i just put the fbx inside the GG/user folder, tried also from c:/ doesn't work, and WORST if i try to drag and drop the fbx direclty in GG, GG keeps crashing in loop !

Just tried on windows 7, 8.1, and 10, it doesnt matter where i have the fbx it works fine for me, i even tried it from a usb stick.

I did have a similar idsue a few versions back when lee did the fbx ground work, but that turned out to be my fbx files and not GG, at the time GG just didnt like one of the two fbx formats blender ecmxports, cant remember which but its one of the two versions if fbx 2010.

So your using the older importer from 2 months ago then ?
Perhaps you could try the Public Preview which has been improved since then ..

Oh right ..
When you said you had the steam version I thought you meant as in the retail version ..
We all have the steam version as there is no other ... But you could use Retail, PP, Beta or reinstall the DX9 version.
All only available via steam install though ..
