Summary

The tracker device will not show in the HUD regardless of settings for Join-In-Progress players when the ‘Assign on Game Start’ and ‘Assign when Joining in Progress’ settings are ON.

I don’t mean to be rude, but this bug is 4 years old. I think the fix is long over-due.

Steps to Reproduce

Place a Tracker Device, enable ‘Assign on Game Start’ and ‘Assign when Joining in Progress’.
Set it to track anything.
Change the Tracker title and description.
On the ‘Show on HUD’ setting, set it to ‘Both’

Now publish the game and start a public match.
Join the match with another account.

Expected Result

Tracker(s) should show up on the HUD for the Join-In-Progress player.

Observed Result

Tracker(s) DO NOT show up on the HUD for Join-In-Progress player.

Platform(s)

All

Additional Notes

Important: Apparently, the tracker DOES get assign, it just WONT SHOW UP on the HUD. So players do not know if it’s running.

Do you know if this works if you use the assign function with the player spawned event of island start spawnpads ?
