[VR] Player Start Actually Not working (Spawn at world origin)

Development Programming & Scripting
1

So I had an issue that made the entire project crash (basically changed a sphere collision to box collision on a blueprint parent). After manually deleting some blueprints from the folder I was able to open the project again, but now the player start seems to have stopped working.

I have set the player start and Play settings to use the player start, and also tried to set the actual pawn to the world and possess player 0 on start but nothing seems to work and the VR Character keeps spawning to the World Origin Point, which has no indication or spawn references.

I did data validation for the project and the only error that came up was with a “IWBE_Blutility” Blueprint, but the blueprint it did not have anything different from a project where the player start was working.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem ended up being leftover setup from GameMode Blueprint that ended up messing with the Player Start actor that probably caused a confict that resulted in a fallback start position at world origin. Removing the blueprint nodes fixed the issue!

Hey, my player start suddenly stopped spawning at my own location instead it always spawns at the world origin. I did nothing but deleted a folder in the project by accident, which lost me some assets but I would not think that could affect the player start setting. Could you please have a look what this problem is ?
