**Version: 4.7**

**Platform: OSX.10**

I have a player with UMG widget which he creates on BeginPlay. It works fine when hitting play with only 1 player, but if you set the number of player \> 1 it will crash somewhere related with the setting the owner of the UMG widget.

**EDIT:** repro project

Hey again nafonso,

I was told a work around for the crash you are experiencing is to add a delay after the Event Begin Play and create your UI at least a frame after.

I hope this works for you!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks, one of my friends works there and he told me about that workaround. ;-]
