Spawn Bug

Post by Coalz101 »

Inability to spawn clicking done doesn't always do anything. Rejoining fixes this however.

More Details:
  • I believe its linked to vehicle deaths
  • FOBs and rallypoints no longer count as valid spawnpoints when this bug occurs
  • You can only select main base to spawn (Get the 6k timer) and clicking done doesn't do anything
  • A few others complained about this so it wasn't an individual problem.

So the white button next to FOBs is gone? Or is this just failing to spawn in once selected?

Well, I played in black gold in coop, the white button was not there and I could not reappear that happened only in the Russian team but in the Chinese you could reappear in the FOB that happened to me, I don't know if you have the same problem

Button is there, just doesn't give the timer when you click done on fobs, like it's invalid spawnpoint. I was not able to recreate this problem, but I still hear people talking about it.

The only spawn bug that I know about is when there is no valid position for the game to spawn you in. Spamming enter/done usually fixes that

I encountered this twice yesterday. It also prevents admin commands/report functions from working? You also can't suicide or select a kit from a vehicle or crate. The menu comes up but clicking a kit does nothing, and gives no message. Once that happens, if you die you can't respawn and have to restart the game.

This happened to me and some other people yesterday on HOG.

Map: Musa
Role: AR
Killed by infantry, nothing extraordinary

- Could not give up
- Could not leave squad
- Could not switch team
- Could not chat

- Could call for medic (right-click give up)
- Could apply for commander role (but didnt get acceptance message)
- Could change between kit and squad screen

Then I asked to be kicked from squad. Subsequently, all kits in the kit menu showed as "can't be selected".
ESC to main menu or Alt-Tabbing, did not resolve the issue.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I was commander on Marlin, MEC team. I was in UAV and was marking enemies, then a request from a squad came in, accepted it, all went fine, but some time later I wasn't able to do anything. I couldn't mark, I couldn't accept requests, I couldn't even click the resign button. I was writing in chat but I don't think anyone was reading. I also used !r to report myself but didn't get the report confirmation message.

Then I spoke on mumble and asked to be reported, an admin resigned me and when I tried to apply for commander again, I didn't get acceptance. I had to rejoin and all was okay.
