It works only if you are the first person to create the server or join with ( I think )
When you join in progress it doesn’t work and it doesn’t show the speaker name above as well!

In my maps it is still working in the same way since the day it was introduced in update 32.00 on 2nd November 2024.
Which means that it is showing all its content except JIP Player don’t see a bubble with arrrows in the position where it should be visible (typically above a head of some person) and also when JIP Player enters the conversation (which he has no idea about that it is somewhere until he will move randomly close enough to its position to see a prompt to use “E”), the space reserved for a name of the speaking person (device) will be empty in all dialog screens.
So it is not something new, it is like this for 10 weeks already. I just checked that it is still like this in a map that I updated yesterday after the newest update to v33.20.
Yes, there are issues with JIP Players. When you are working with tools that simply don’t work as intended and you are not the creator of these tools, you are basically limited to a method of “trial and error” which could be extremely time consuming. So instead of making new maps and cool game mechanics so players would have fun, you as a creator are getting frustrated because you are just trying to use existing tools to make something to work as it should and it is not working.
I am up for an innovation and evolution of whole Epic ecosystem, but in my opinion there should be more attention to fix existing functions (devices) and less to add more and more new stuff as soon as possible.
