Summary
After a player is eliminated or respawns in a UEFN session, an orange/yellow flashing visual effect appears on the character and doesn’t go away. It persists into Edit/Build mode. It doesn’t appear on a fresh session start before any death. It reproduces on a brand-new default template island with no custom devices or Verse.
