Most of the Ability Icon Strings aren’t appearing (e.g. Baptiste Ability 1 and Reaper Primary Fire).

Same issue. Ruined many of my modes

I can only get them to appear in small messages, I wonder if they are being sanitised for whatever reason.
Unfortunately I doubt much will be done and the workshops will fall further into disrepair.

I have a XBox One and a Series S, the ability icons don’t show in the Xbox One version.
I tested in my Custom game (code A1Q4G), the ability icons only shows when the corresponding hero of this ability is selected to play.
Ex.: Winston’s Ultimate (glasses icon), only appear when i choose Winston. In my custom game appear in the up-right corner of the HUD, this icon also appear when holding melee button in small messages, but only with Winston. With any other heroes, the icon doesn’t appear.
I think it’s dev’s some strategy to make the game run more smoothly in older consoles. Suppress abilities icons contribute in almost nothing to this, besides crashing the custom games, which for many is a way to relax from PvP modes without leaving the game.

Ah - very interesting. That’s likely why I could get Shion’s bike to appear in small messages (I was playing her). I can see how this would be useful across the game a sna performance optimisation but it’s very disappointing for workshop creators. Those “build your own hero” modes must be broken.

Same. There’s a mode that I’m working on where the icons were INCREDIBLY helpful and made the UI look really good, now the UI just looks like a mess of letters.

Almost two months now, still broken. I spent three weeks building my first big workshop mode and it’s come to a complete halt. I’m hopeful that the delay in fixing it is because they’re fixing more than just the icon string issue.
