Summary

Day sequence device ignores input

Steps to Reproduce

Configure a fixed time (example: 1am) in the day sequence device and create a private version of the island. Test several private and published sessions as the bug only occurs from time to time.

Expected Result

Fixed time configured in day sequence device should be triggered in private and published versions.

Observed Result

Sometimes (not always!) the sequence device ignores input. The standard day/night cycle is triggered even if a fixed time of the day is set. The bug only occurs with private or published versions. In UEFN test sessions it works as expected. This issue has already been reported in January '24 by another user. Please consider escalating as this issue is a major blocker to create experiences with custom light cycles or fixed times.

I spent some time attempting to reproduce this issue (I was testing in 28.30, before the most recent update). I was unable to reproduce the issue as you described it (I tested it in a local session and on a private island which I checked several times as soon as I uploaded and after several hours). Is there any chance that you were changing your Global Illumination setting in the client when you noticed this issue? There is a known issue that can occur when changing that setting while in a match, but it should not happen randomly, should only affect the client that changed the setting, and should fix itself after rejoining.
