Summary
The Audio Player is EXTREMELY delayed now in-game when it plays any sounds.
This was not an issue at all before today’s update.
This decreases the quality of combat in my game.
It was not mentioned that this device was changed in the patch notes. A bit confused why this happened.
Here are the properties of my device in paste-able format (using a sound_cue file with no delays in it’s blueprint nodes):
Play Location = Player
Heard By = Everyone
EnabledDuringPhase = Always
