Billboards do not display values to all players. Join-in-progress randomly do not see values. See pictures.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Verse
Steps to Reproduce
Add Billboards to a project. Use Verse to loop through active players in the game and use SetText and UpdateDisplay to change the Billboards value. Do this once every 10 seconds. Start a game, have other players join in progress. JIP players do not see all the values on the billboards.
Expected Result
All players should see the exact same values on the billboards.
Observed Result
All players should see the exact same values on the billboards.
just create a refresh function so when a player joins it refreshes whatâs already on the board and the player will be apart of that and the board will update so it might get past any issues.
More info: If the value in each billboard does not change from previous refresh JIP players might not be able to see the value. It happens randomly. My fix was I changed every value (split second) during the refresh (every 15 seconds) and it solved the issue. I SetText â- - -â, updateDisplay and then immediately change it to value I want. This solves the problem. But it is a needless extra step. There is definitely a flaw in how BBâs get displayed to JIP players.
Designing a new game and this is still broken in Version 32.00. Join in Progress players still cant see Billboards. Only way they display is if they are changed. Come on Epic, BIllboards been around since foreverâŚpretty please.
Iâm experiencing the same issue. The Billboard Device used purely for text is visible to some players, but completely invisible to others, and itâs mostly not displayed for players on mobile devices.
but we keep getting new features that no one asks for, yet basic, game breaking devices make some games unplayable. These are the layups. Epic trying to make half court shots.
i think Epic needs to be testing this stuff tbh as last big update is a prime example of what happens when no test or minimum tests are done.
I always said this bug forum/reporting/resolving is a issue
I suggested a way which is to make a team of epic staff and maybe 20 users who know the system enough to know whatâs a bug/user error and they could build a relationship up and get things dealt with faster than the current method.
The tracker thing and billboard thing and map indicator/capture zone things are all still issues even having been reported months and months ago
Numerous users on the Discord would have no issue helping Epic in a private channel it wouldnât cost anything other than trust and a chance to work by Epic
Can you please keep this open and when i have time in a few days i will do a video. This is a issue so im at a loss how this cannot be reproduced. We as in the discord server all know about a bypass that you can loop show/hide text every x amount of time but this isnt right this is a issue and i will make a blank map setup the scenarios with info panels ect and post the project and vids ect here.
All i ask is dont close this please give me a few days as this is a issue and is always coming up in the discords
Really guys? This is so easy to reproduce, and many creators are experiencing it. You just close it. This is about as short sighted as it gets. So tired of this. @Flak
