Conversation device is broken in public games

The text of the conversational device is not displayed to subsequent players.

Summary Text of conversation devices (especially text in speech nodes of Conversation Bank) is not displayed in public version. Conversation response text displays correctly.

Both were displayed fine when tested in session state and in private code. Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite What Type of Bug are you e…

The conversation device is definitely broken in public maps. It will not show the response for the conversation node on the character.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Steps to Reproduce

Create a conversation bank with various speeches and responses. Make a couple of levels at least. Set a trigger or button to trigger it in the game, make sure to be in a public match and the conversation device will not show the speech node in game. Responses show up fine

Expected Result

The speech should show like it does in a UEFN session and private session. This ONLY affects public matches.

Observed Result

Does not show speech bubble

Platform(s)

pc

I should add that I used Radial mode and “Show Conversation text in world space” is checked. Unchecking it is an absolute mystery to the purpose of it as it seems to just full break the thing…
