    Yeah there is definately something fishy going on with lcds:
    [​IMG]
    Note the "Press 'F' to access LCD Projector. There is a LCD projector at this position, and you can edit it. But it doesn't show and its projection is also missing.
    Seems to happen when you spawn in an Blueprint that has LCD projectors on the outer hull, as Don2k7 already described.

    What would help is if somebody has a reproducible case in a vanilla save. Like, load this save, then spawn in this BP and notice that these LCDs are missing.

    So far in trying this I haven't been able to repro it in a new creative session, so it may have something to do with already populated ships and structures being present.

    I don't even have a way reproduce it reliably in RE. It just happens sometimes. I have a feeling it might be related to the lod system (i.e. the game hides objects it assumes are too far away to be visible).
    That system is currently also borked for LCDs, as can be seen with some of the larger LCDs. In theory that could cause this issue as well, so thats where I would look if I had the code to analyse it. But I have no clue how to produce a reproducible case fromn this.

    Unless you've found different, I think this has to do with large sized LCD projections exclusively.

    And here I just got started with LCDs and thought I was screwing up something major. (probably still am)

    I'll try to remember to throw together a reproduceable something or other tomorrow. But yeah, it's consistently happening.

    I was just working on repairing a CV in Star Salvage that has LCDs on it and noticed that two of them simply disappeared on me even though I was standing right in front of one of them. I haven't been able to get it to happen again though.

    This cant be the case as the same lcds on another build in another system are not affected

    Hi I found a reliable way to force this to trigger & it will be looked into as soon as we can.

    I had this problem also.
    LCD,s on the outside of any structure are there but are invisible and do not function.
    If you surround the LCD with glass blocks the LCD will reappear and start to function again.

    I confirm this as well, but I'm also seeing this behavior is acting weird with signals tied to the LCD screens it seems. It's really hard to tell tbh because I can't distinguish an LCD bug from a signal bug anymore.
