We are having a problem in packaged build (development and Shipping), where the client initialization process gets stuck and Constuction/BeginPlay of some classes PlayerPawn, PlayerState and GameState are never called.

The MP logging on server looks like (simplified for readability, Full Version Here) :

```
RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientVoiceHandshakeComplete
RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientVoiceHandshakeComplete
Join succeeded: WartileGaming
[UActorChannel] Owner: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1. Reliable: 15.11 RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientRetryClientRestart
[UActorChannel] Owner: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1. Reliable: 15.11 RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientRetryClientRestart
[UActorChannel] Owner: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1. Reliable: 15.12 RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientSetViewTarget
[UActorChannel] Owner: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1. Reliable: 15.12 RPC: BP_BattlePlayerController_C_1 - ClientSetViewTarget

```

And it will inter a loop where it will keep trying ClientSetViewTarget, just like the client (Full Client Log) :

```
ServerCheckClientPossessionReliable
ServerCheckClientPossessionReliable
ServerShortTimeout
ServerShortTimeout
ServerVerifyViewTarget
ServerVerifyViewTarget

```

It seems like the PlayerPawn is spawned correctly on the client, so it will never be able to VerifyViewTarget. But we don’t know why this is happening.
