19-frame animation. I set up a ‘‘forward’’ loop from 10 to 16 but starting the animation from the first frame goes directly to the loop skipping 2-9 (Sorry for my english)

hi @V_kid, what version of Aseprite are you using? Could you please right-click the Play button and see what options do you have enabled?

I’m using the latest version on Steam (Non Beta). Among those options nothing is enabled (Other than 1x) and I notice that there is no ‘‘Play Subtags & Repetitions’’

Update: Using the beta it works fine and there is also the new option already enabled
