The conversation can be started and option wheel shows, but the text responses and name from the NPC do not show over their head if you join on progress.

7578-1606-3889
Additional Notes
Works fine on console and pc if you joined at start
Unsure if the bug fixer took note of my issue above
Could you please pass it along as if its getting fixed they could look into this also
The convo device will most likely always be above the character device so it needs to auto to priority on the hud imo or atlease let us disable the beacon on the character device
When you have the âShow Name When Nearbyâ option set it doesnât show the bubble so this is as expected but the issue is when you donât have the âShow Indicator Bubbleâ enabled the distance for âShow Name When Nearbyâ doesnât show when you walk away past a few meters.
Ideally the Show Name When Nearby needs to have its own distance field separate from the Indicator Bubble Range thatâs the issue here i believe.
Iâm seeing some JIP issues as well still. On some JIP games some of our conversations dialog text are not visible. If you chat with other NPCs and then go back to the 1st one it will appear. Never happens on non-JIP games.
Iâm also experiencing this issue again for the last few days. But itâs not happening everytime. Sometimes the Conversation device is working correctly for me when I join as a JIP Player and sometimes it doesnât and I see only a Speaker Name set in the Conversation device and nothing else.
We are also experiencing this issue in private/unlisted versions of our island (we are not yet public) in version 37.20. We are unable to reproduce this in a session started from UEFN. It is specific to players who join a session that has already started.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a session with an island with a conversation device
Interact with the conversation device. It should pop up the UI as expected.
Have a second player join after the session has fully loaded
Have the second player interact with the same conversation device. The player will be locked into the conversation (the character is put in stasis), but the conversation UI does not display. The player can press the Escape key to close the conversation and regain control.
Unless a workaround is discovered, this will block players from progressing in games that require the conversation device.
im due to release something in a week or so
