Strange spawning bug

[BabylonCome]

While playing Muttrah 64 last night as MEC, I noticed a strange spawning bug... Here's the scenario:

Due to the initial special kit spawn bug (you die if you initially spawn with a special kit), 1 squad member and I spawned as normal riflemen, then selected our kits (officer & medic). I then drove a truck to our destination (near north city), got out of the truck and immediately set a rally for the rest of the squad to spawn in. Almost immediately I then just died - it looks like one of my squad spawned on my head and thus killed me.

Is there a fix for both of these bugs, the initial spawn bug and the second one of people spawning on your head?

I was not aware of a special kit spawn bug so I won't comment on that. I often have squad members request the limited kits at the beginning of the game if we aren't sure what we are doing so that if one gets disconnected someone else can request since they didn't have it in their spawn menu but I've never run into that.

A spawning player should not kill you. Are you positive that you didn't get shot? Did you go immediately to a dead state as opposed to wounded? Did the rally stay for you to spawn back in?

Neither did I about hear that, limited kit bug.

Any chances you got ownedz by a sniperz?

Thanks both for your replies, on this occasion we were trying out some start manoeuvres in readiness for an up and coming external clan scrim, so there were no enemy on the map at the time, so being shot was a deffo NO. As I said I am not 100% certain what happened all I know is that I got out of the supply truck after dropping 2 crates, placed my rally and then went straight to 'DEAD' status.

The limited kit spawn bug is a well know bug among our clan and others we play, people spawning at the beginning with kits like medic, officer etc die immediately. I agree it only tends to happen on scrims and not so much on public games maybe due to just about every player trying to spawn almost straight away as the round begins... It may also be related to the scrim starting after a server "!restart" command. We here at RIP are getting so use to this bug that a general reminder is announced over Ventrilo before the round begins to remind people to spawn with a normal kit and select the special one at the home base crates. This bug has only been present since the last major change and introduction of limited medics etc.

Round restart seems to cause the special kit spawn death.

It has happened twice before on TacticalGamer when the round was restarted during a password night, and then again a round later.

Cheers bud - all down to one of our members Taffman92....

Having now done a few tests, the special kit spawn bug only happens after a round restart (!restart) and then it will keep happening the whole round unless you spawn with a standard kit. So far it has never happened with a fresh map, but it is almost certain with a restarted map.
