When a player joins a match in progress, the stat creator UI Widget will not appear. If it does appear, it will not update the values/level on the UI. I’m not sure if it tracks properly internally, but it certainly does not work on the UI. The same setup works fine if the player is present when the match initially starts.

Steps to Reproduce
Join a match that is in progress with a Stat Creator Device
Expected Result
The Widget set in the device should appear on the screen, with levels and values being updated as intended.
Observed Result
The widget does not appear on the screen when a player joins in progress. If it does, the values and levels are not visually updated.
I was able to get it to show by disable/enable when someone joins but the player who joins doesnt have text go up on the stat ui but the stats are recorded as when they level up the action is pushed in this case it grants my jip player a item even tho the text isnt updated on the ui
The UI shows sometimes, but the main problem is that if it does show, the values and levels do not change when they should. I believe they are recorded properly internally, just not updated in the UI. This only happens for players who join in progress.
I’ve given up using this and the tracker now until a fix is ready. Spent many hours trying to fix it but this is something on Epics level as if it was easy someone would have found a way by now. That tracker has been like it for yrs i think.
Did think about making a custom verse ui system but im hoping the issue will be sorted soon
Yeah, the stat device is essentially unusable if you want the UI to show. Trackers have also acted like this for years, where players who JIP don’t have the UI, but the stats seem to track fine internally. Since the trackers have been broken for years and this has a similar problem, I don’t expect a fix soon.
If they say yep its a big issue ect its gunna be 6 months i wouldn’t care as you would know and could make something but they is no point wasting a day or so making a full system if something is getting released soon.
I must say they have a huge job tbf to epic so many things to do and fix and issues so i feel for them i do but when i make a map i test everything jip ect ect so why was the stat thing released like this its crazy imo like just need to conform to a deadline or something
They are in fact fixing it, @Flak said in a different forum post that a fix for the tracker device was coming in a future update, hopefully that one is soon and not 5-6 months later.
I’m assuming the tracker update might also fix the stat creator issue since they seem to suffer from the same problem.
If not, I hope Flak can let the team know about the Stat Creator too. Both of these devices are basically useless if UI doesn’t show up for players that join in progress. Very unfortunate, there’s not even a workaround for us to use until its fixed.
In my oldest and biggest map it seems that it is really fixed for Trackers, but in my other 2 maps their UI is still invisible to players who joined in progress, so I am trying to find out the reason for it. Which means that it still can cause issues in some maps. So feedback from more creators that were affected by this would be helpful right now so we and Epic would know if it is still relevant issue or not. And it could also help in the process of fixing it for Stat Creator in the future update.
