Good evening,
I have a nice game that I like to update periodically. For close to a year now, I was infuriated over the fact that the player list was unnecessarily condensed. It made it look like there was always one player active.
This evening, I discovered that the issue was not a rogue script nor a setting in-game, but rather a core UI feature where the player list would start to condense at 6 players and stretch up to 12 players.
When you set the maximum size to 6 people, the leaderboard immediately condenses to such a point it is mildly discomforting to look at.
(this is 7 players)
See that as the player size increases, so does the player list.
(this is 8 players)
etc.
This is consistent across all the games this has been tested, and this ONLY applies to in-game. Note that in studio, this bug does not exist and the leaderboard continues to function as intended (though this could be due to 1 player servers?)
I also believe that this only exists as a computer bug and not a mobile bug.
Expected behavior
See this image. The server size has been set to 5 people. The player size is an appropriate length.
I am not sure how to phrase this exactly, but the player size should not condense itself to the minimum possible size at 6 players. The size is ridiculously small and inconvenient.
