Hello, I have recently noticed that on a dedicated server the broadcast controller block, cannot send a specific message from 1 to 8, excluding random messages and gps, from the toolbar of blocks like a timer or button panel (control seats excluded), while the option is available and correctly pinned in the toolbar of those blocks, nothing is being sent to into the game chat from a button block or timer.
- I can replicate the issue every times on a dedicated server with experimental enabled, (no mods)
- I could not replicate the issue on local).
I don't know if its useful, but the link is what I used to check the persistance of the issue: the blueprint of a LG structure, button panel block with set messages, and timer starting the first message, on a loop.

Hello engineer,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.
We have attempted to replicate the issue on our end, and the Broadcast Controller successfully sends messages when used with the Button Panel and Timer Block. However, we observed that in the provided blueprint, the Broadcast Controller actions in the Button Panel and Timer Block’s action toolbar configuration were initially greyed out. Reassigning these actions resolved the issue, and they functioned as expected.
Could you please try reassigning the actions for the Broadcast Controller in the Button Panel and Timer Block to see if this resolves the issue? If the issue persists, please send us a screen recording/video showing the issue, along with the dedicated server (DS) save file where you have reproduced this issue.
Kind Regards,

Hello, I tried reproducing the problem again, by pasting the blueprint from the workshop again on my server, the issue was immediately observed as persisting whether the blueprint is owned my mine or not,
and no greyed out toolbar actions assigned were observed. random messages can still be triggered, but specific messages cannot.
I also looked if a server setting was producing the issue but with no success.
I'm providing the server actual save in the attached files.
(PS: in the server I disconnected with the suit antenna off by reflexe before exporting the save, but all the tests were done with character suit antenna on*)

Hello engineer,
Thank you for providing the screen recording and server save.
In the provided save, we’re receiving Broadcast Controller messages from both new grids and those already placed near the 'Aura'. However, based on the screen recording, it seems the Broadcast Controller may be muted in your game settings.
To verify this, please follow these steps:
After updating, please check if the issue persists. If it does, kindly share the log file from the session when the issue occurred on your Dedicated Server (DS).

Hello I have verified the option and that setting was already unchecked/disabled correctly,
I have also tried the option in both checked and unchecked position and the result was the same on server only.
I'm providing the server logs for the past two and three days.

and the todays log, starting server, me connecting, pushing button panel toolbar for specific messages,, pasting the grid from the workshop, coping it next to it, using button panel to send 2 or 3 random messages with success, trying specific messages on button panel again, during that time the timers are cycling to send messages. then i remove the two extra grids and disconnect

Hello, little update here, I think I found the cause of the problem, when I changed my game langage to English the broadcast controller is sending specific messages as it should on server.
Having different game langage (french in my occurrence) is what cause some blocks to not function properly on server.

I think the same problem exists in the case of Factorum's encounter with disarming warheads. Messages do not appear when the language is other than eng.

After some testing, I found that changing the block name is not the cause of the bug.
It seems that the problem comes from the "transmit message X" (1 to 8) actions.
The bug also affects other blocks where you can set actions in, not only Event Controller.
I only tested with the Event Controller, Timer Block, Button Panel, and a Cockpit, but I was able to reproduce the bug each time.
I've attached some images of the tests:
In these images, the "transmit message" action from both a Broadcast Controller and a renamed Broadcast Controller were set in the action bar with the game in English (actions 1 and 2), French (actions 4 and 5), and German (actions 7 and 8).
I changed the game language in the menu before each test.
I also tested what happens if you change the game language directly during gameplay, without returning to the main menu.
You can see the result in image 4, where the game was launched in English and then changed to French. Actions 1 and 2 (set in English) still work, but the others do not.
You can find a build to test the bug at this link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3477187094
The other Broadcast Controller actions like "Send random message" and "Send GPS" seem to work correctly.
This bug seems to affect the Broadcast Controller on all builds, not just in Encounters.

Hello Misha,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.
Could you please check in the game’s main menu under Options > Game if the Mute Broadcasts option is enabled? If it is, please disable it, click OK to save the changes, and then check if the issue is resolved. If the option is already disabled, please create a blueprint of your grid, paste it into a new world, and see if the issue still occurs there. If it does, kindly send us the blueprint of your grid along with any steps to reproduce the broadcast message issue, and a screen recording/video showing the issue.
If you are having difficulty attaching video/screen recording files here, you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Здравствуйте,
Я долго тестировал, в чём именно проблема — пробовал использовать разные блоки и кнопки, но единственное, что помогло — это смена языка интерфейса игры на английский. Другие языки я не проверял, но, думаю, что проблема проявляется только при использовании не английских языков. Сам я играю на русском языке, и именно на нём у меня возникает данная проблема с трансляцией сообщений.

Hello,
I tested the issue for quite some time — tried different blocks and buttons, but the only thing that helped was switching the game's interface language to English. I haven’t tested other languages, but I suspect the problem only occurs with non-English languages. I personally play with the Russian language setting, and that’s when I encounter this broadcast message issue.
Below I’m sharing the blueprint link via OneDrive:

Yeah.
When i changed game language from Russion to English - send specific message started working via timer trigger or event controller.
