Summary

In the last update there were some “bug fixes” for the race checkpoints and manager, in my case, i have no race manager in my map, and i dont wish to have to one, but after the last update its being automatically created and appears in my Hud when i get the first checkpoint.

Steps to Reproduce

i have a few checkpoints, when i complete one, a race manager hud appears on the top of the screen,

Expected Result

expected result is: no race manager → no race manager hud

Observed Result

race manager hud appearing without even a race manager device in the map

Platform(s)

PC UEFN

New update broke my race as well, I allow players to pass through the start gate to cancel their current attempt and start new. It is broken now. I will need to fix and republish. I also did not use the race manager device, only the race checkpoints.

But maybe it is better to switch to it rather than have any custom logic, so it is the standard way. So if it is used by everyone and is broken at some point epic has no other choice but to fix it because every race map relies on it.

yes but the issue is it still appears in the hud, even if i add a race manager, and set it to not show on hud, it will automatically show another race manager or something, have you figured out a solution?

Same.

I ended up with custom checkpoints and removed all race devices: https://www.fortnite.com/@latunda/6411-4424-1945

I would have kept the race devices and waited for the fix from epic, but the race overlay happens to overlap with my custom ui and for my race it is more important what the current race condition is rather than race data.
