Invisible storm bug

Summary

The storm becomes invisible in some rounds, storm timer resets to 0, storm cannot be seen on the minimap/map or in the game, but it continues to have an effect (you continue to take damage if you are inside). This happens in random rounds and at random times (it can be 10 seconds after generation or 2 minutes later). This seems to only happen in maps published or updated after v37.10

This issue is occuring when triggering the storm forming via Generate Storm When Receiving From in Advanced Storm Controller Device. I didn’t have any issues if the auto start is set for it btw. Sorry for the video quality but it shows what happens: storm is completely invisible in the level (and on the minimap), timer is at 0:00 too, but the storm is actually going and it damages players when going through and actually appears later in the game, but still thats a huge problem. @Flak can you help us please? :slight_smile:
