I have a widget, that gets spawned from a client event in the player controller. On Windows, it works correctly as expected when testing on a client. When i Test on Android, it looks like there are two overlapping widgets present, and they are not functioning properly. Are there some sort of extra steps that need to be taken for client side widgets on a multiplayer game on android?
I don’t think there are…
Is it possible it is because of the size of the window and the composition of your widget?
Open your widget and start pulling the screen size around to see how it reacts. Do tell if you manage to get anything like on the phone. Sometimes phones report ridiculous screen sizes.
no thats not the issue. like i have a subwidget that spins, when it does that, i can see the original pieces still in the old spot and it spinning at the same time. also everything transparent is half as transparent and beighter because there are two of them.
That’s a really weird behavior that you are describing. I would suggest you test a very simple UI on a brand new, clean project. (a button with a label will suffice) If it does behave properly then there is something wrong with your custom implementation.
Try different UI screens or even the same simple UI in your project to understand weather it’s your widget or something else entirely.
i think the issue is that in windows i have the netmode set to test as a client and on android by default it tests as a single standalone, so none of the replication code is running properly.
Well there was really no way to guess that. 
It’s really easy to test that - run your PC build on standalone.
Anyway, try to make your UI working regardless of networking logic and best of luck!
