Summary

As with the previous version of Fortnite, v25.00 has a problem when players die within one Day Sequence area and respawn in another. Previously there was no lighting, this was logged as bug report ticket Case # 00609863. While there is now lighting the problem is that the respawned player now see’s the area they are respawning in using the lighting and settings from the Day Sequence device area they were previously within not the current one.

Steps to Reproduce

Place two or more Day Sequence devices that do not overlap. Give them very different settings. Place a respawn point in one but not the other. Move from the Day Sequence trigger area that has the respawn point to the one without and die. You will respawn in the area of the first Day Sequence but it will display using the settings of the second one you died within.

Expected Result

Day sequence devices should apply the correct settings to repawning players.

Observed Result

Day sequence devices do not apply the correct settings to repawning players.
