The player start actor doesn’t spawn my 3rd person character pawn when I click play. Instead, it spawns a first-person editorial player. I have changed the default pawn class to the character I wanted in game mode; why is this happening? How to correctly attach a character to the player start actor in UE5? Thx
Hey there @WaterBear6969! The player start actor will only spawn the default actor that you have set in the game mode. When you set it as the default player pawn in the game mode, was it just in the gamemode object itself or the project settings? This can be overridden in the world’s settings. You may also need to check and see if your project settings are pointing at the correct gamemode.

I had this problem too, turns out I had the editor in simulation mode… switching back to PIE made everything work.

I’m such a noob and didn’t know anything about this. Your reply just saved my project and my sanity!
