Billboards randomly not showing to Join-in-progress players

Yup, obviously not a priority. Been posting about this for over a year.

This would probably be a very quick fix for them, but if not, I can see why they don’t bother fixing it. They are obviously going to come out with an alternative to the billboard device. I would rather them work on new things then to fix stuff that has a very easy workaround.

Yes still happening here as well.

What are you all using Billboards for? What alternatives do you have in mind?

I’m using billboards for onboarding & button labels.

Alternatives I’m thinking of doing:

  • Onboarding: Popup device with custom widget
  • Button Labels: Some type of texture or material. Haven’t assessed options yet.

Yes using a few Hud elements here and there, but i replaced my billboards with simply custom textures where having localization isn’t that important I guess. Everyone knows English already right?

Im having this issue still too. Why was this closed over a year ago and theyve ignored it?

How long will it take to fix?

Good question. Ignoring issues is common.

This will never be fixed until br turns into jip

Exactly!

Hey, this bug has started to appear in 1.0 aswell. Loading an island, will sometimes fail to show text on billboards until the player hovers over it with edit permissions, or reloads the device.

I confirm this is still an issue affecting any project

Could someone get me logs after experiencing this so we can see what’s happening? We’re unable to get a repro here.

Flak, we’ll try getting you this today.

You can just jip on any island that doesn’t update the billboard frequently through verse.
Might take a few attempts but can repro.
I have no issue disabling my verse bug fix and repro it with a video if that’s what the team needs ? @Flak

Could we please get some island codes to get a repro? We are unable to join the island in the original post.

That would help too, thank you, Ash.
