Hello all,
I’ve got a co-op 2D side-scroller im making and im running into an issue with the player controllers not posessing their pawns on startup.
2 of the clients connect just fine and everything works perfectly for them. However, Client 1 and the server, every time, never got posession of their pawns. The game spawns them for them, but they never get control, camera, nothing.
All 4 characters are the same class, just different animations setup. The only code I’ve overwritten is the GetDefaultPawnClassForPlayer(AController* InController) function. havent touched any other spawn code or controller code.

Not entirely sure why the pawns arent being possesed correctly by their controllers. Their pawns just float a bit in midair, and the cameras for the two broken clients is skewed off. Replication is showing for these players though, as I can see the other characters moving. Any help is appreciated.
