6000 second respawn AAS

[steve_06-07]

It's happened enough that I decided to report it.

Description:
When dead, SOMETIMES (not all) the spawn is set at 6000 seconds and counts down from there, no matter if I select another kit, or choose a different spawn point. I am forced to leave the server and rejoin because it's quicker to do that. It has happened on 2 separate servers, both in AAS mode, (though I don't play insurgency that much)

It's not a bug it's a, safe feature, that way you can only spawn if you sure of the spawn point.

So how do you spawn? Make sure select a valid kit, a proper spawn point and the more important part click the "DONE" button, on the bottom right corner.

and if that doesnt work just switch teams then switch back....easier than disconnecting

[piepieonline]

Is there any chance you know what happened before this bug occured? For example, did you switch teams, select a new kit, or?

Select a spawn point, spam the 'Enter' key.

Or just click 'Done'

That depends Desmo - I have seen a bug around like this, but I don't know if OP is pressing done or not.

Happen to me few times too. I tried to deselect spawn, click done, and select it again and click done, repeat few times and it should work, at least it works for me. I think happens, if is too many friendlies around the fob or rally point.

If you guys would stop killing 100 civilians in the INS layer this wouldn't happen.

I'm just saying, a little common sense goes a long way.

[steve_06-07]

I'm not killing civilians, I picked a basic rifleman kit, but it hasn't done it to my since I posted this so I can't go into how it's happening.

Make sure you click "Done" with your mouse. Don't press the enter button to spawn.

[Daniel]

Steve? You tried what Steeps suggested?

[Trekkie]

I've got the same problem and sometimes clicking done makes no difference. It either tells you to pick a spawn point again, or counts down from, yeah, the high 5000s. I'm trying different stuff but it's hard to tell whether something has worked or the problem's just momentarily gone away again. Sometimes switching spawn points helps, but I can't tell what makes a spawn point not spawnable when it's selectable and everything. Same thing with spawning on squad leaders, even when they give me the all-go to spawn on them it doesn't always work. Sometimes none of the points are accessible, even if there's a bunch open.

So far I'm just playing in Co-op mode, I'm on the BF2 version on windows 7. Everything else seems to be working okay.

[saXoni]

Sometimes spawn points are a bit bugged due to the placement of the FOB (close to walls, etc.). If you keep spamming enter after having clicked "done" once, you'll eventually spawn in.

I find either selecting the alt kit or another spawn usually fixes this for me.
