Steps to Reproduce
Create a clean and empty 5.5.1 project.
Create an Game mode and Character
Create a widget blueprint with some content on the canvas for visibility
Add the widget component to the Character
Assign the Widget Class within the widget component to that specific widget blueprint class.
Under the “User Interface” Settings Select : “Screen” in order to render the widget on screen instead of World.
Start the game with 2 players. On the “Play As Listen Server” Mode to ensure that one of the players is the server and the other the client.
This will show that the client is able to see both widgets rendered in screen space but the server will only see their own and not the client version.
PS : (Yes i tried to replicate the widget component. it does not matter)
Expected Result
Server should be able to see the widgets of the clients in screen space (A healthbar above player heads for example)
