I’m not sure what happened with my initial test however further testing gave the same result you described. After speaking with another engineer it appears that AddOnScreenDebugMessage implicitly goes to “the game’s current viewport”, which would imply that the game is currently running. If you are trying to print information from an actor’s Tick() function inside the editor (rather than PIE) I would try using log messages rather than attempting to print to the screen.
