Accolades are not working outside of Editor in UEFN v37.0

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I’m using Accolade_Device.Award() function to grant XP to the Player. When I upload my project to Private Version, Accolades are not granting XP (via UEFN or Verse).
I connected a HUD Message to Accolade_Device.TestAwardEvent() to see if the event is signaled, but it is not.
In local Editor Session it works fine. In Private Version or Published Island Accolade doesn’t work.

That Island Code is for an Island that was released today and was not calibrated. It is not possible to grant XP until the calibration process of an Island is finished. It is showing granted XP in Edit Session only for testing purposes. So it is not a bug that it is not granting XP in an Island that was just released and so far had no players.

I know about XP calibration.
It doesn’t show “XP Granted” in Private Version in playtests. AwardTestEvent is not signaled too.
It’s still a bug for me.

hi men, did you find a way to show the xp?
cause i’ve been with a similar problem and i don’t know how to fix this

(by the way, my problem is that the xp award dont show at all)

No, it still doesn’t work in Private Version in UEFN 37.10.

That’s how it always worked?

In Edit Session you can see the “Test Mode” of the accolade, but a Private Published Version mimics the behavior of a normal published island, and public islands don’t show a “Test Mode” on accolades and they only show up if calibrated.

I checked this island code on fortnite.gg and could see that XP calibration has not completed.

(That being said I would love some kind of dev tools for private island codes like being able to see the Print Logs,spawning Test Players,and being able to see the Accolade Test Mode)

Test awards work only in edit session, it wont trigger in private islands and private islands dont give or show accolades.
