***GAME BREAKING*** 'MoveTo' and 'TeleportTo' no longer work on Camera Devices

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

After the v37.00 Update, my game is 100% broken.
I have a unique game where it is a 1v1 fighting game where the camera locks onto players.

However I am using MoveTo to move the cameras.

Now, MoveTo is being detected to be working through code and actually changing the transform of the device, but it doesn’t actually move at all in-game.

I’ve also tested this with TeleportTo and it produces the same result.
Updates the transform via code but not visually.

This is what I’m left with (See Before and after Image)

NOTE
If any provided troubleshooting support needs to be discussed more in-depth, I would like to please speak with Epic Support directly, I do not want the contents of my project public.

Thank you for all your help!

Ahh, this is extremely disappointing, I had a live-streamed event with my game’s community tomorrow, but because of this, I will have to push it back. I also just got back from a large convention where I showcased my game and people took pictures of the island code to try it when they got home and now, they can’t play at all..

Cant move fixed camera at all currently. Tried to force it with Constrains or parented to another object, no luck.

Hoping someone on the support Team picked this up in the Ticket queue
My game and my game’s community are relying on this fix

I’d absolutely hate to bother you all but this is a Critical work stoppage for me.
I work full time on this project and waited a day for the ticket status to update.

The reproduction steps are simple:

  1. Try to move a fixed gameplay camera (fixed point) via code
  2. Observe that it does not move

I am using Verse code version 0.

Please if you’re able to, I know your team is extremely busy and I’m sorry to add more onto your plate, but I need this Ticket escalated to the next level of urgency or priority to get more progress on it.

I am losing players, had to cancel a community event with my players and cannot work everyday because of this. I cannot do my job and I’m at a full stoppage, I’m forced to desperate measures to ping the team.

All the best, with all due respect to you and your team, I appreciate all that you do

Hello,

Please - Is there any progress on this?

Some more information on this is that the fixed point camera actually doesn’t rotate in the editor at all.
I hope this helps.

Is this occurring on a Blank project as well?

Simply calling MoveTo and TeleportTo on a applicable gameplay_camera_device doesn’t visually work?

Don’t know about a blank project, I didn’t have the time.
But I did try a brand new device in the same project and the issue still occurred.
As an emergency to keep my game running, I had to use a workaround using cine cameras instead..

Yes, that is precisely what’s the issue.
Simply call MoveTo and/or TeleportTo on the gameplay cameras (In my case, I’m using the fixed point cameras) and they won’t move visually.
Even if it’s attached to something that is moving. It won’t move in-game.

FORT-950281 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 37.10.
