Hello!

I am testing the new advanced water plugin in 5.6, the fluid interaction with the pawn is working in the editor, but is not working in the packaged builds.

What i did:

Created a vehicle open world template.

Activated the “water” and “water advanced” plugins.

Restarted, created the collision channel for water as prompted by the editor, restarted.

Activated “use default shallow water subsystem” in project settings → plugins → water advanced

Tested creating a lake, a river, and ocean.

The water reacts to the pawn (vehicle) as expected playing in editor.

Created a packaged build(development)

Packaged build shows the water, but it doesnr interact/reacts to the player pawn.

I am not sure if i am expected to set up anything aditional, or simply there is adittional work from epic needed for it to work on the packaged builds, in any case i ask if anyone with more knowledge, can point me in the right direction to be able to test it on a packaged build.
