I’ve been struggling with this bug all week in Maps Reverting to channel system - #8 by 420Elements
I did not know a working island settings file would fix this. I will try making a new project that isn’t bugged and using that file, as a solution, and will edit this comment IF it works…
Tested replacing my island settings file with a fresh one, DID NOT FIX!
It still shows the legacy channel event system.
I really wish I could work on my game
