Widget turns invisible in bp everytime I restart ue4

Development Programming & Scripting UI

Everything works fine when I play the game in pie or standalone and the widget is displayed in my bp widget as normal.

But when I package the game and try to play it, the widget doesnt show up.
Then I restart ue4 engine and I go inside the main widget, and the widget I am trying to get to show up is simply invisible in the widget BP.

So let me just break it down.

  • Widget works fine in PIE
  • Widget works fine in Standalone
  • Widget doesnt work in package game (development)
  • Restart ue4 engine, widget is invisible inside of widget bp.

I honestly dont have a clue why this is happening :slight_smile:

Visibility is self hit test. I have made a bing to an enum, so when lobby is selected (currently for testing purposes its binded to 1 = selection 2 = lobby)

first picture you can see the widget is invisible after I have packaged the game and restarted ue4 engine (its the one that I have selected)

third picture is how it is suppose to look and this is after I dragged in a new network lobby widget. (but then I have relink everything, and the bug still appears if I package and restart ue4 engine.)

i dont think thats the reason but try the visibility this way maybe?

or maybe other solutions

-do you have the right anchors? (maybe the resolution is not the same as in PIE and standalone so it gets out of viewport

-maybe put those things up in zorder?

Hello ThatLittleSpider,

I was not able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have a couple of questions that will help me narrow down the issue you are experiencing.

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a new project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps so I can reproduce the issue on our end?
  3. could you provide screenshots of you main menu reference?

Thanks!
