More info:
If you create a private lobby from PC, there’s a chance the Skilled Interaction Device will break and not work. The HUD Message Device will stay on screen and not hide, the Input Trigger won’t work, and many other devices might stop working.
I tested joining a lobby created on mobile, and the issue didn’t happen. But when the lobby is created from PC, the problem occurs.
