it’s been a long time now that the hud message devices have been bugged. they change position randomly during the game, for example even without using custom bp, if I set a text with anchor in the center, position 0 0, maybe at the beginning of the game it is in the right position, but maybe after a while the same message will be displayed in a different position. it happens both with the hud with the default bp and with custom bp (when I use custom bp I use the same anchor both on the hud device and in the bp, and all the widgets in the bp have the same anchor). so I don’t know how to solve the fact that the hud message devices continuously change position randomly

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Devices
Steps to Reproduce
simply setting a hud message device with or without a custom bp
Expected Result
the hud should be positioned in the position that i set
Observed Result
the hud changes position randomly and changes during the game (it is happend to more than one of my maps)
This is just weird design because the popup device doesn’t have it. But there is a fix fortunately:
When you want to display a custom widget, set the placement to custom and the position to the same as your anchor within the widget
This is the most important thing, there is a setting that actually does this, and its called “Override Default Text Style”. Sometimes its better to leave it off for messages that you see going to the wrong anchored position, but leave it on if you want a consistent style for the default hud messages.
