When i move the default ThirdPerson GameMode BP, save all files, my assigned Player Character no longer is loaded when running the level.

Fix, keep the file in the default folder.

Hello unit23,

I was able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have written up a report (UE-20957) and I have submitted to the developers for further consideration. I will provide updates with any pertinent information as it becomes available. Thank you for your time and information.

Make it a great day

I moved the file into a new folder i created (in the root of content folder). I just tried it again, same result – The default Pawn Class is no longer visible.

Another fix is to duplicate the default gamemode BP and then set the duplication as the new default gamemode.

This problem still has its place in 4.10. It looks like affecting only game modes that are specified as default ones. When you move the game mode that is specified as “Default Mode” in “Maps & Modes” project settings menu tab into another folder, the project settings reset it in drop down menu and you should simply re-select default Game Mode. I see some logic in this behavior and can’t name it a “Problem”, just a thing that must be taken into consideration 🙂
