end game device does not call out win/lose

Summary

Since the 17:th of mars 2025 I’ve noticed that the end game device no longer call out win/lose after the winning and lose conditions are met. It ends the round and the scoreboard does still show but win/defeat screens does not appear as they should before the scoreboard appears. I’ve tested this on two different maps to make sure there wasn’t anything else disrupting the end game device. I’ve also uploaded to play test but the issue persists. In case it was just a local issue. It might work as supposed to after release but I dare not release until I know for sure.

Steps to Reproduce

Make a win/lose condition with end game device and it does not callout winner and loser screen as supposed to.

Win and defeat screen should show up before scoreboard appears so the player clearly knows that if they loss or won.

Win/defeat screen skips and it goes straight to scoreboard.

Additional Notes

It’s a random problem that came out of nowhere. I’m unsure if it’s been a update during the weekend before the 17:th or not. The accolade does not show during testing aswell since chapter 6 season 2. So I’m wondering if this might be the same kind of issue?

Hello Polarvargen!

Can you check if “Game Winner Display Time” in Island Settings, under “Post Game” is set to value above 0.0s?
By default it’s set to 0.0s so the win/lose callout is not displayed at all.
It’s possible that recent update reset it to 0.0, so that might be an issue.

Please let me know if changing this value helped!

Hey!

It looks like this has resolved the issue. It wasn’t a problem before, but updating the settings clearly did the trick.

Thanks so much for the help – I hope this thread can be helpful to others who run into the same thing.

Kind regards,
Emil
