Conversation Device Bugged for Join in Progress

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:

  1. Create a session with an island with a conversation device
  2. Interact with the conversation device. It should pop up the UI as expected.
  3. Have a second player join after the session has fully loaded
  4. 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.
