Steps to reproduce:
- Start the attached mission in MP
- Press ESC > Respawn. Wait five seconds to respawn.
- Press ESC and execute selectPlayer p2 via debug console. Player should be switched.
- Press ESC > Respawn
- No respawn time is visible but a slightly blurry screen. The respawn is broken.
Further infomation:
If you execute selectPlayer p1 after the issue occured, you'll be switched back to the original unit as intended but you keep the blurry screen. Respawn with this unit works normal.
Events:
Log of EntityKilled, EntityRespawned, TeamSwitch, Killed and Respawn events:
14:21:40 ["EntityKilled",[p1,p1,<NULL-object>]] 14:21:40 ["Killed P1",[p1,p1,<NULL-object>]] 14:21:45 ["Respawn P1",[p1,p1]] 14:21:45 ["EntityRespawned",[p1,p1]] 14:21:55 ["EntityKilled",[p2,p2,<NULL-object>]] 14:21:55 ["Killed P2",[p2,p2,<NULL-object>]] 14:22:10 ["EntityKilled",[p1,p1,<NULL-object>]] 14:22:10 ["Killed P1",[p1,p1,<NULL-object>]] 14:22:15 ["Respawn P1",[p1,p1]] 14:22:15 ["EntityRespawned",[p1,p1]]
This shows that EntityRespawned and Respawn events for p2 are missing. TeamSwitch event does not fire at all (this is intended behaviour I guess).
Respawn time:
playerRespawnTime starts to count down from five to zero when p1 is killed.
When p2 dies playerRespawnTime does not change and returns -1 at any time. Using setPlayerRespawnTime to change it, has no effect.
Variables:
Checking allVariables on both units resulted in the following variables not existing on the p2 unit:
bis_fnc_feedback_postresethandler
bis_fnc_feedback_respawnedhandler
bis_fnc_selectrespawntemplate_respawned
bis_fnc_feedback_damagepulsinghandler
bis_fnc_feedback_hitarrayhandler
bis_fnc_feedback_dirteffecthandler
Copying these manually after switching the unit does not fix the problem.

Seems to be impacting Battle Royale as well. Now, when players disconnect, no event is fired to notify the server, and AI takes over the body. (body should die / not be transferred to server)
