Description
When a client connects to the host, they are able to see the camera changes before the camera goes to the lobby camera.
I have tried to fix this, using the following methods
- When the
MultiplayerGameMaploads, I immediately add the loading screen to the viewport- This does not work, as the player will still see the camera change BEFORE the loading screen comes out
- In the
BP_OnlineMultiplayerPlayer,EventBeginPlay, I add the loading screen to the viewport for that pawn instantly, then make a call to remove it from the level blueprint.- This also does not work and has the same issue as (1)
@LiuTianZ @NBH99 Please help :(

Research direction
Start by reproducing the client connection flow around MultiplayerGameMap and BP_OnlineMultiplayerPlayer, including EventBeginPlay and the level blueprint calls described in the issue. Done means a connecting client sees the loading screen before any camera change, rather than briefly seeing the previous camera view.
