Summary
Hi, I’m having an issue with HUD messages getting stuck on screen when I have my Fortnite tab minimized, prior to it activating. Basically, my Fortnite tab is minimized, a HUD message activates, and when I maximize it, even though the HUD message was supposed to hide/clear, it remains on screen. The rest of the players seem to be fine. I believe the issue is when I have my screen minimized during the activation of the HUD device. This results in it being in a stuck state. I’ve tried turning off “Queue Message For Join In Progress Players”. I tried turning on “Re- Evaluate Messages On Show”. And I also tried changing “Show Behavior If Showing” to Ignore. Nothing seemed to have fixed it.
Steps to Reproduce
Step 1: Add HUD Message device
Step 2: Type a random message into the HUD message device
Step 3: Set “Show for Duration” to True
Step 4: Set “Display Time” to 3 seconds
Step 5: Save
Step 6: Minimize Fortnite window
Step 7: Start game through UEFN
Step 8: Wait 5 secs or more
Step 9: Open Fortnite tab
Expected Result
The expected result is, when opening Fortnite tab, message is supposed to be off the screen.
Observed Result
The result is, when opening the Fortnite tab, the message remains on screen for the players that had their Fortnite tabs minimized prior to activation of the HUD Message device and having their Fortnite tab minimized until after the HUD Message device is supposed to be over/hidden/cleared.
