### Summary

Text of conversation devices (especially text in speech nodes of Conversation Bank)  
is not displayed in public version.

Conversation response text displays correctly.

The conversational device settings(conversation type) I have tried are radial and box.  
Neither of them show Speech text only in the public version.

Both were displayed fine when tested in session state and in private code.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

### Steps to Reproduce

Create a conversation using the conversation device.  
Conversation banks should contain one or more Speech texts.  
Make the version containing them the public version.

### Expected Result

When set to radial, the speech text should appear at the device location.  
When set to box, the speech text should appear on the UI.

### Observed Result

Speech text will not appear in the public version only.

### Platform(s)

This bug seems to happen to the second and subsequent players in multiplayer.

It was displayed correctly for the first player who entered the map.  
It did not show up for the second or third player.  
It also did not show up if the first player left the match and then rejoined the same server.

The same bug was observed in private codes and sessions.

We will fix the title.
