This is an old bug, been around forever. It’s been reported in the past and they’re aware of it but just don’t bother fixing it.

Not old for me, was working fine till the most recent update.

really? Maybe I’m thinking of a different bug with player counters…

yes really, The map mentioned is months old and worked fine until the update, now it doesn’t work since the update, the lightbulb test highlighted it was not sending signal on target complete, after reading the patch notes I find the title of this thread, The bug they claimed to have fixed is now happening to my maps, Revert the changes made to the player counter please

Thank you, it is greatly appreciated.

Another issue I have seen 3 different people have is with the player marker, all used creative 1.0, all settings work for them but 1 setting, the visible for parameter, it displays as visible for all regardless of this setting, it means if your say wanting a bounty on a team it will work, but say you want it to be only visible for a specific team, it cannot be done. Another issue with the same device I found myself was if you want it set to consistently, the description states player name tags must be turned on, but whether turned on or off, it does not work when set to consistently, only for a duration, and a frequency. You’d make a few people happy fixing this one.

I cannot edit the function settings in any player counter device still, have no other issues other than the function tab of setting, They seem to have gone from being able to be set and not work , to now cannot even set the parameters at all. Being the Device to count players in and out of games make this an essential device for every map I have, when this is broken so are all of my maps. PLEASE PLEASE FIX, This is not a session issue as restarting device/creative doesn’t fix.
