Summary

On a round based game sometimes some rounds your UI will be converted to old UI even with use latest hud enabled in island settings. This seems to happen after X amount of time, I can go AFK in uefn sessions in edit mode and come back, start game and its old UI instead of the latest UI as enabled in settings…

Pretty hard to use this USE LATEST HUD option at the moment as it isnt consistently on.

I’m kind of surprised this is still an issue. I just playtested a project with my PC and my nintendo switch, one of the two saw the old HUD like every other round.

Here’s a short recording showing the bug happen to me twice in 7 rounds. This doesn’t happen to players all at the same time. I noticed in testing it happened to me or the other player, I’m guessing that it is a rare chance for it to affect everybody during the same round because I haven’t seen it happen to everyone at once.

The Latest HUD elements will randomly switch between old and new and even sometimes mix both.
