Summary

Hi, we’re encountering some issues with round endings and scoreboards in our game.

Problem Description:
Our game’s round endings and scoreboards are displaying incorrectly and inconsistently.
Specifically, our intention is for the highest scorer to be ranked 1st and so on. The winner would receive an increment of 100,000 points to ensure they are recognized as the highest scorer. However, while the 100,000 points are added to the supposedly winner, the placement/ranking on the scoreboard is inconsistent between players.

We’ve tested with both “Most Score Wins” and “Most Round Wins” as the “Game Win Condition” in “IslandSettings,” and the result is as follows:

  1. When the “Game Win Condition” in the Island Setting is set to “Most Score Wins,” the intended winner never receives the “Victory” screen, and the scoreboard’s placement/ranking varies between players.
  2. If we switch the “Game Win Condition” to “Most Round Wins,” the intended winner does get the “Victory” screen, but we still observe inconsistencies in the scoreboard where the placement/ranking differs between players.

Relevant Details:
We’re using the following devices in our game that could be related to the issue:

  1. IslandSettings
  2. Score Manager
  3. End Game Device

Any insights or guidance provided would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

Testing Sessions :
Setup 1:
“Most Score Wins”, Winner Point will add 100,000 points to the supposedly Winner, have more than 2 players(3 players for all of our testing sessions)
Setup 2:
“Most Round Wins”, Winner Point will add 100,000 points to the supposedly Winner, have more than 2 players(3 players for all of our testing sessions)
Sessions:
a) Player A completed Objective, add Winner Point Player A, Game End Result, Scoreboard Result
b) Player A eliminated all Players, add Winner Point to Player A, Game End Result, Scoreboard Result
c) Player C eliminated Player M, Player A eliminated Player C, add Winner Point to Player A, Game End Result, Scoreboard Result
d) Player M and Player C was eliminated by natural causes(E.g. eliminated due to fall damage), add Winner Point to Player A, Game End Result, Scoreboard Result

Expected Result

Game End Result: Player A to show “Victory”, Player C to show “Defeat”, Player M to show “Defeat”
Scoreboard Result: Consistent scoreboard placement/ranking between players according to score(highest to lowest)

Hey, check the Round Win Conditions & Tiebreakers in Island Settings,
I think some will also start adding score to the scoreboard, like turning on damage dealt will add the damage scored to the players score.

Excellent, I was hoping that would sort it out.
Lucky I was dealing with this stuff over the last few days and knew where to go.

Good luck with your project.
