Hey @Geez Had this happen again last night, I died 2 to 3 times again in quick succession and was unable to spawn.

Notes on when this has happened to me.

This only happens when I die before I load in fully. Sometimes the game will automatically deploy you, even though your screen isn't showing the map and is still showing the radar in the upper right hand corner, I think this is related to server performance since my pings during these are sub 100ms normally to the server (Not the BI Authentication server which I think you guys need to decentralize that to help with peoples pings around the world or have a server in reach region for it).

Once that happens 3 times, the game then will flash the map, act like it's gonna spawn me in then go back to the map with a circle in the middle of the screen, and you are unable to actually use the map. You can hit escape and get out of this cycle, but you cannot spawn at all. The only time I've been able to spawn was last night, on a radio, but it took me 3 and a half minutes for it load me in. Luckily I was in a bush, unluckily all my teammates were dead by that point and I was just standing in a bush loading.

So I think this relates to the netcode, and server performance. I've got enough space on my PC So I'll run some recordings to see if I can capture this on video, this will also allow you to see the loading times, on busy servers are not great. I do have a HDD instead of an SSD, mainly due to the cost at the time when I built my PC so that could also be a factor though it is a Western Digital black edition.

New conditions for this happening:

It doesn't take 3 times anymore it only takes 1, you die before you load in and it glitches to where it will constantly cycle spawn you but not actually put you in game.

This seems to have been fixed, but the loading time is still long. @Geez

E: The only thing that happens is if you're still loading it auto spawns you somewhere, usually where you were last

Hey @Geez if you can forward this youtube video the devs it's from the last patch, but it'll give them stuff to look at, I also went and looked at my hardware CPU spikes to 90% when spawning in.

Hello falcon91.
Do you have your game on the HHD instead of SSD by any chance? Also, Does this occur on the latest version? (0.9.8)

Hey @Geez sorry I didn't answer this, I have an HDD yes, unforunately unless you guys want to give me an SSD it's not gonna be possible for me to put my income towards it, as I'm on disability here in Ontario. So I only get a limited amount of money per month, so I haven't be able to invest in my PC in a long time due to that.

This isn't occurring anymore it seems to have been resolved.

This has come back in a different variation, if you are killed while you are spawning now this is what happens. Between this, other bugs, and the stability of the game this wasn't ready for 1.0
