First of all; HUGE thanks to Bernadetta for helping me bug test this!!
We stream each other’s screen to see which things that aren’t synced properly.
This took me a long time testing everything on Post Process volume and I discovered something.
Pixelate and Posterize filter are never visible for all of guests upon condo arrival.
I tested different conditions such as if players are inside or outside volume upon condo arrival; both with Global toggle turned on and off; results will be always same.
Respawning won’t fix the issue as Pixelate and Posterize filter will remain unseen for others other than the host.
Pixelate and Posterize will become visible for everyone after host edits Pixelate & Posterize option while in the same session as everyone else. But effect is only temporary. If same people leaves and re-enters the condo; they won’t see Pixelate & Posterize effect until host updates them again.
This is a problem for themed Condos that relies on Pixelate/Posterize filter to be visible from the start; otherwise it breaks the atmosphere with no Pixelate & Posterize filter applied and Host would have to edit them to re-sync every time for new arrivals
Steps to Reproduce
-Enter your own Condo alone
-Place Post Process Volume
-Set Pixelate or Posterize to highest value
-Invite someone and have them see Post Process Volume’s pixelate + posterize filter
If done correctly, someone else won’t see pixelate / posterize filter at all.
-Move the slider on either filter once more for it to sync and everyone will now be able to see the Pixelate & Posterize effect.
What I expected to happen
I expect Pixelate and Posterize filter to be always visible for everyone upon condo arrival.
What happened
Pixelate and Posterize filters are never applied on all Post Process volumes to everyone that enters Condo.
Notes / Media
Here’s screenshots as example.
My screen with Posterize filter applied
Bernadetta doesn’t see it on her screen (I could see it from her streaming)
If I update Posterize filter while she is around, it’ll show up for her right away. Effect is only active for the rest of session until she leaves and re-enter, it won’t be visible anymore. Same with Pixelate filter.
Correct me if I’m wrong; I think I recall one time when Tower Unite (or developer) talked about adding pixelate & posterize as new filters in a long time ago. I think it’s a small oversight as it is the same two filters that has this unique issue.
Hopefully this can help finding the cause of the issue quicker!
