[Expie v1.17.154657] Nameplate issue when exiting vehicles
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Nameplates are not showing for certain dead entities after leaving a vehicle.
I think this may also be related to another reported incident whereby peoples HUD's break if they play with hud off, and then can't turn it back on, but we are still getting recreation steps nailed down for this part of the issue.

Tested entities:

  • Infected
  • Survivors (dead)
  • Bull/Cow
  • Goat
  • Sheep
  • Bear

Details:
If you kill one of the above entities, and enter a vehicle, then leave that vehicle, then look at the entity again the nameplate won't show.

If you look at a Chicken/hen or any other entity, and then look back, the nameplate returns.

  • Get out of the vehicle
  • Look at the entity again, no Nameplate will show
  • Look at the item (chicken, paper etc)
  • Look back at the entity, and the Nameplate will now return as normal.
