OnPostLogin spawn issue

That happens cause you Player spawns with only his PlayerController, sitting at 0,0,0. Camera at this point is set to the Manager which is probably also sitting at the PlayerController position.
Then your Server spawns the Client’s pawn and posses it, which takes a few milliseconds to replicate down to the client.

If think you can really only stop that by adding UI on the client. OnPostLogin is still server side, so that’s too late. Try BeginPlay of the PlayerController.

I’d like to join in this discussion.

We have a similar problem as the OP.

When a player joins the server, his data has to be loaded from MySQL through a socket server to determine character type. We do this in GameMode on PostLogin. This, of course, takes a second or two and, as the OP said, the 0,0,0 location is displayed briefly until the character is spawned at its logout location.

If I understood your post correctly, you were suggesting filling the screen on controller BeginPlay with a widget? I just tried this and while the widget will display, there is still a brief but noticeable flash of the origin.
