  2. After that, teleport 2 players to the same arena using Verse teleporters
  3. Both players arrive at the same location (confirmed via Verse)
  4. Players cannot see each other
  5. Removed ALL Data Layers from the project
  6. Bug still persists

Expected Result

Players can see each other

  • Players can hear each other’s weapons
  • Grenades work normally

Observed Result

  • Players CANNOT see each other
  • When a player shoots, the other player doesn’t hear it
  • Frag grenades disappear immediately when thrown
  • It’s like players are in different worlds, but they are at the exact same position
  • The bug started after adding Data Layers
  • Even after deleting all Data Layers, the bug remains - the project seems corrupted
