Additional Notes
We use a custom damage system and our own damage number UI. Because of this bug, Join-in-Progress players see the default Fortnite damage numbers in addition to our custom UI.
Furthermore, the displayed Fortnite damage values are the default Fortnite damage values, which do not match the actual damage dealt in our game. This results in incorrect information being shown only to Join-in-Progress players.
