[0.18.1.0] Friends accessories disappear in condos

Most of the time they are without accessories but occasionally, usually when they speak, their accessories come back, but then go away again. Very, very, very rarely do their accessories stay for longer than 10 seconds.

I don’t really know how else to assist in helping you with this issue. When I visit the condo they don’t have accessories on, just periodically throughout my visit.

It’s been happening for months and only with this particular friend which is also what makes it difficult, lol. Maybe it has something to do with their privacy setting in Steam? I don’t know.

Going into first person as host causes this

Are you sure? I’m usually not in first person mode but I will keep this in mind next time I hang out with them.

I guess this is related to switching to 1st/3rd person.

huh. now that you mentioned it… i do remember this happening when i was in first person several times!!

maybe in some way, this is related because when you’re going first person mode; your accessories isn’t supposed to be visible for your screen, right? i wonder… if someone goes first person; you could see their accessories disappear as well?

This is because the set hidden feature in Unreal automatically networks, and since they are the host, the host is telling everyone to hide it even though it should only be for themselves.

So how do you fix this? Is it a bug?

My friend turned off their hidden status and it just improved the issue for a bit before completely breaking all over again.

Why would this hide specifically accessories?

Is there a specific setting they have to toggle or something?

This is a bug. It happens when the condo host enters first person mode. The game hides their accessories as they would block the first person camera otherwise. It’s something we will have to fix.

Notice it also happened with the same friend in the Plaza.
