Unreal Engine Issues

Dynamically Spawned Actor Components call BeginPlay before reading initial replicated properties

Replicated actors wait until initial replicated properties are read and applied to call BeginPlay (from PostNetInit), and this is usually where the actor's components have BeginPlay called as well. ...

Include better comments/warnings for certain edge cases when using dependent actors with RepGraph

TextRenderComponents exist on editor dedicated server instances

It seems as though TextRenderComponents are not intended to exist on dedicated servers. In BaseEngine.ini, they are explicitly excluded: "+ClassesExcludedOnDedicatedServer=TextRenderComponent" This ...

Setting replicated TArray in PostLoad prevents repnotify from being called

See linked UDN for more details and a sample project reproducing the issue. The issue seems to be that the object's archetype doesn't have any changes made to the array in PostLoad, so the shadow st ...
