It really worked for me too! Thanks PenguinTD !
I had the same problem. I have a Main Character with Skeletal Mesh and a Pawn that was spawned by the server. When the character was possessing the pawn everything was working fine.
But when i was trying to repossess the character in the client the animation was just freezing.!
Thanks to this solution everything now works fine! Thanks again PenguinTD
