what's up with the cinematics?

Sometimes my animations work perfectly in the live version and then some sessions the animations do weird things. For example the skeletal mesh will disappear or show up in odd places. Or end somewhere it ain’t suppose to in coordinates not even within the animation. Anyone know why this is?

I see this behavior with players that join a game in progress where cinematics had already started. If you also have a cinematic camera animating, it can lock those players into a black screen where they don’t get their player camera back. Both of these issues have been known for quite a while and reported by a number of creators.

I haven’t heard of any resolution yet, unfortunately.
