I’m currently rebuilding my game for online Multiplayer and using Lyra as a base! I’ve started with this tutorial [[How to create a new Game Feature Plugin and Experience in Lyra | Tutorial](https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/rdW2/unreal-engine-how-to-create-a-new-game-feature-plugin-and-experience-in-lyra)] . I’m keeping all my content in my own game feature plug-in and I’m not modifying anything in the base Lyra or ShooterCore plugin - just creating child classes or making my own copies where applicable.

I have been getting some strange refreshing problems with inputs, here’s an example I can clearly recreate:

If I launch my game in PIE, all my inputs work as expected (Move, Look, custom GAS actions: Jumping, Sprinting). But if I alt + tab out and come back to PIE (Or changing windows for testing multiplayer) - My custom abilities no longer work (I can still move and look, but the custom Sprinting + jumping no longer react to their inputs). Perhaps it’s the “Native” Inputs that come back, but I’m losing all my Ability inputs?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
