Can't respawn, pressing space does nothing

(Mustang) #1

Seeming randomly I can’t respawn, it says press space, so I mash it and nothing happens.

I’ve had this a couple of times before (in the current patch), however I thought it was a problem with my config because I was changing my binds in the ini just before, but this time I disconnected from the server and joined a different one without changing any configs at all and it worked fine again.

When it happened this time (not sure about before) I was killed normally with a chance to wait for a medic but was gibbed before my respawn timer reached zero, the camera switched automatically to start spectating another player on my team, the respawn timer got to zero and the press space message appeared, but it just didn’t want to work and I was left spectating my own teammate.

Possibly related (only started happening in the latest build as well) is Random Respawn Button.

Okay so it worked on a new server because it works in warm-up, but not during the actual match.

After 2 hours of “debugging” I found the cause, [SGPlayerInputSpectator]RaiseCameraCmd was renamed to [SGPlayerInputSpectator]JumpCmd.

So at least my problem is fixed now, maybe there is a small bug that remains, being that during warmup it uses [SGPlayerInputPawn] to find the respawn bind, but during the match it uses [SGPlayerInputSpectator], I’ll let you guys decide, but maybe this is the cause of Random Respawn Button, however I don’t notice this because I use space as JumpCmd for both.
