'Play from here' doesn't work in any project, even default templates

I am using unreal 4.10.4 and for some reason ‘Play from here’ doesn’t work in any of my projects, including default unreal templates where I have made no changes. Is this a known bug or am I experiencing something unique?

Hello,

This is expected behavior. If you’ll notice, when you create a new template project (First Person, Third Person, etc) there is already a pawn in the level. When you PIE, you will automatically possess that pawn, which is why you’re not actually starting from where you right click for Play from Here.

If you want Play from Here to work, you can simply delete the character from the level, and it should spawn an instance of whatever your Default Pawn Class is set to in your game mode.

Let me know if this does not work, or if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

Have a great day

I have the same problem with Tiles and i can get the character on the tile to spawn with play from here
