objects won't preview in motion?

[auguste raffael]

OK, not sure what is happening here. i have lost realtime playback while scrubbing through an animation. maybe it is a RAM thing but poly count is pretty light and it was working a moment ago.

I am trying to view a series of arrows streaming down a couple of bone chains. all of a sudden, the arrows are no longer visible while animation is playing or while i scrub the time line. they reappear when i stop on a frame.

the only way to see the arrows in motion is to render a preview. did i hit a button or is this a system playback issue?

Check to see what your bounding box setting is in Layout's Display Panel. If it's set too low, you will only see a bounding box of your objects when scrubbing through timeline.
