Spring bones not working in playback of preview mode.
I've created a bone actor with spring bones. The spring physics work when the spring editor is open. But in playback mode it does not, regardless of the preference settings.

Simulate Spring Physics in Playback (Unchecked)
Timeline 1_00_00_01_11.jpg - Spring bones working with Spring Editor active, scrubbing timeline
Timeline 1_00_00_05_19.jpg - Spring bones working with Spring Editor active, playback
Timeline 1_00_00_11_13.jpg - Spring bone NOT working, scrubbing timeline
Timeline 1_00_00_15_14.jpg - Spring bone NOT working, playback

Simulate Spring Physics in Playback (Checked)
Timeline 1_00_00_22_29.jpg - Spring bone NOT working, scrubbing timeline
Timeline 1_00_00_26_10.jpg - Spring bone NOT working, playback

Thanks for your reply and feedback.

Please make sure that your Spring Bone is set to the first Bone, not the second Bone. When the Spring Bone itself has keyframes, the keyframes will take priority. Therefore, you can set the second Bone as the Spring Bone and edit the first Bone. The lower Bones will then have the Spring effect.
