This issue refers to this forum’s post

Calling RestartPlayer() from the Role_Authority does nothing

APAGameMode* gameMode = Cast<APAGameMode>(GetWorld()->GetAuthGameMode());

AController* myController = GetController();

if (gameMode != nullptr && myController != nullptr)
	{
		if (GEngine) GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 5.f, FColor::Magenta, FString::Printf(TEXT("CALLING RESTART_PLAYER")));

		gameMode->RestartPlayer(this->GetController());
	}

The debug message “CALLING RESTART PLAYER” is shown, so both the GameMode and the Controller are valid.

However, the RestartPlayer() function does nothing!
