Epic Universe originally had face recognition only for admission if already registered. Observed later suddenly not working for any guest. Presenting ticket first did not work at any kiosk for several minutes. Then worked as ticket first and face recognition second.
Several days ago face recognition started to have issues at Universal Parks. Ticket must be presented then face recognition is attempted. All guests at all times. Already registered or not. Can take a few tries.
