(source build 4.11.0) Creating this thread to report a new problem as requested in [RemovePlayer not working on client - Blueprint - Unreal Engine Forums](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/409292/removeplayer-not-working-on-client.html) I tried the workaround described in the thread above and it worked, but I ran into other two issues: 1 - The code of your workaround did not work on the server, but it worked after I put 2 as player index in GetPlayerController, so it seems that the newly created player takes index 2. Maybe this is not exacly an issue, but I wonder why this happens. 2 - Using your code on the client, re-running CreatePlayer after running RemovePlayer crashes the editor with this message: ``` Fatal error: [File:E:\UE4\UnrealEngine\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\NetConnection.cpp] [Line: 1712] Failed to find LocalPlayer for received PlayerController ``` To avoid misunderstandings, this is the code: ![88057-create_player_crash.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/0/c/e0c71db333f65fc686dfde21a77cdf7870232b03.png) To reproduce run pie and in the client press F and then G. ---

I am also having this issue on UE 4.23 - was this looked into? Is there any current workaround?
