Storm Wait Time is not updating in the minimap UI

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

The timer that is supposed to countdown until the storm starts to move/shrink does not update at all. It only works if the game you are in the storm has reach the moving phase before. If you then create a new storm the timer updates normally. So the timer always bugs for the first storm, and will continue to bug if the storms used in the game never reach moving phase (in my games this happens often)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place down a basic storm controller device in an empty map without changing settings. Can be done in 1.0 creative, does not need to be UEFN.

Also not sure if this is a bug or not but when destroying and making a new storm the timer indicating the Wait Time flashes purple as if the storm is movin, while it is not.

In the first second of the clip you can also see the bug of this post where the timer is 0:00 for the entire wait time. In the next fight it updates from 150s to 0
