Since the Update 37.10 when Unloading and then Loading Data Layers, some props stay invisible and now cause weird Invisible Collision hitching or are visible but have no collision anymore.
This can also happen when some objects in the data layer get destroyed by players. Instead of the usual animation the object plays no destruction animation, turns invisible and also collision stays even if its invisible

Additional Notes
This bugreport also mentioned this but was closed due to not being able to reproduce the issue again, but probably very related and is still happening in the current version to me
Its happening very regularly in the provided map code as the game is basically about destroying props and the zones reload very frequently. What I already found out is it is mostly the same props and buildings in a certain data layer that break all the time while others are never breaking in the data layer.
If needed i can try to find a broken lobby and collect more video footage or send logs
I can confirm issues. In our map when we unload a data layer and reload to reset a zone after a fight NONE of the actors appear. They are invisible, but the collision is partially there. This is GAME BREAKING for us. CRITICAL.
Ok for anyone encountering the problem here is a fix. In my case the unloading adn the loading of the data layer was to close together so when loading again some parts of the unloading might have not finished yet and it got stuck
The fix: At least 2 or 3 second between loading and unloading and the issue is fixed
@Flak I think this one can be closed as it was just an issue of loading and unloading to close together
Hello! This is happening to me too, this is present in my published game and is critical as it made players leave my game cause they were āstuckā. Itās happening randomly. It never did that before so please fix it asap!!! I even recorded you a video.
Not sure I agree. If I spread the load and unload to 15 seconds it was still happening for us. And it was a little random. As I stated earlier deleting all the Load Sequences and recreating them worked for us.
Itās happening again for my map and made leave 4 players at once. Please fix that itās impacting my map a lot as I load mini-maps using data layers.
@ZeroShotBob Hello, have you ever got the bug after removing/adding back the level sequencers? I did literally delete them, published and the bug is still happening. Did you also put new sequencers devices?
All my data layers are unloaded by default too! Problem is, in my case, itās completely happening randomly. My map depends on it and I do load/unload a map after each map vote. What are redirectors? But Iāll test all that, I just hope they will this issue soon.
Right click on a folder in the Content Browser. You will see some options concerning redirectors. When you move or rename assets it keeps some sort of reference to its original name and location and keeps the name tied up in memory. Fixing these redirectors makes the map cleaner.
