XBOX Spawn near friend did not work as expected on cross-platform dedicated server

[dragginlord]

On a dedicated server with Xbox and Steam players. Server has correct settings for Allow Spawn Near Friends. On initial spawn on a newly created dedicated server with three players joining (no other players) one Xbox player (second one to join) got the Spawn Near Friends option. A Steam player (the last one to spawn in) got the Spawn Near Friends option showing the names of other two players, however the button and player names were greyed out. Is this normal behavior or a bug?

Were they in the forest? I haven't tested this option, so can't say for sure exactly how it works, but I know that they won't let you spawn near someone who is in a biome you don't have a badge for.

We were all in the forest which is part of what made it a very odd thing. As I understand it on dedicated servers there are two setting options, spawn near people anywhere or only spawn near people in the forest. Our server admin had the option set for anywhere.
