Hi there!
I am trying to make a lobby system, just to learn. I’ve managed to setup everything correctly and a player can connect to a session successfully and gets to the Lobby level where he/she gets assigned a default pawn.
What I want to do is, I want to provide the players a character selection system. The player can select a character and then spawn as the selected character class. I managed to do that, I made a simple UI with 2 buttons and each button is basically a character to select.
When a button from the UI is pressed, AssignSelectedCharacter is called which sets the SelectedCharacterID which then I use to pick a character class from my array of character classes. Afterwards, character gets changed from the gamemode and then in the player controller, I save that class as a variable in the game instance.
Everything works in the lobby, the server/client can swap characters and all is replicated correctly without any errors. However, if I start the game as the host, a simple servertravel happens. Then, in the first level, both characters get set to the character class which was selected by the last client. I cannot wrap my head around the issue. I followed the original Unreal Multiplayer tutorial and copied some logic from it. I believe it has to do with saving, do I need to try this out with different machines?
If anyone can help me out I’d really appreciate it! Here are some screenshots:

Thanks a ton.
