Description

Blueprint Library plugin set to 'Runtime' doesn't work in Standalone/packaged builds if used inside of the 1st Person Character BP.

User Description:

Blueprint libraries are still broken in the final version of 4.14.0 They work fine in editor, but as standalone, they're just not there, and they're unpackageable.

The other problems I was having seem to be related to specifically extending the FirstPersonCharacter blueprint, bizarrely. Create a new blueprint, everything works fine. Edit the FPC BP and add it to the event graph, get random errors.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a 1st Person template 'Code' project
2. Once open, click the Settings icon > Plugins > New Plugin > Choose 'Blueprint Library' > Name it > Create it > Choose 'Restart Now'
3. Open the solution file
4. In the Solution Explorer, navigate to > Project name > Plugins > Plugin name > Then open the .uplugin
5. Change the 'Type' from 'Developer' to 'Runtime' (see Screenshot #1)
6. Build the project, then open it
7. Open the FirstPersonCharacter BP and add the setup from Screenshot #2 to the Event Graph (Tick > ExecuteSampleFunction node > PrintString)
8. Compile and save
9. PIE > Look at the printed value > Stop
10. Play in Standalone Game

Results: The function from the Blueprint Library plugin will not work in Standalone Game or a packaged project

Expected: For the function to work and the value to be printed in both PIE and Standalone Game/Packaged project
