This picture shows that the transform for the mesh component is reset 0-0-0 , when i start the editor
for further context this project has been migrated from ue4 to 5.0 to 5.1. I use source control and tried reloading the asset, as well as validate dependencies. nothing’s wrong with it on an obvious level

i made a duplicate and it isn’t affected by this strange phenomenon. i can’t replace the character as there are ALOT of references

Is it a c++ project or pure bp?
If c++, then does the skeletal mesh have setupAttachment called passing in the root component as the parent?

It’s a pure blueprint project, all values are set to the character class default when i restart the editor, and my player is the only one affected by this. even though it is a child of ALS base character. And ALS base character is a child of the common Character class.

Are you maybe calling createdefaultsubobject again on the skeletal mesh in your constructor?

i don’t use c++, so i don’t think i have. however i found out that by slightly changing the vlue from its parent, then it does not reset

BAD EXAMPLE
Parent FOV =90 , Child FOV =90.
After Restart engine, Child FOV = 0

GOOD EXAMPLE
Parent FOV =90 , Child FOV =90.1
After Restart engine, Child FOV = 90.1
