Can confirm this has been an issue for a long time. There are simply no reliable ways to assign trackers to join in progress players, it is simply pure luck whether it works or not.
To make you aware tho the tracker does to my knowledge assign but the UI doesn’t show
I tried in verse and still its pot luck hit and miss
You can however add a button to assign the tracker and this will always show. I know not ideal but yea if even verse doesn’t fix it currently then idk what the solution is
Do we have a update for this ? ive been trying to work out a solution for hours when you have multiple trackers and i feel like i may have to use custom ui which is not a simple thing and depending on the release of the patch it could be pointless and i would be better waiting.
