I was hacking an enemy supply depot, got shot dead mid-hack, bleeding out, pulled up the map to kill time, died.
Now, after that happened, the camera was showing me the area where I died without any filter instead of spawn options. I could see their health, names, etc. I'd let it sit for a bit cause the round wasn't going well for me anyway, the map curser was still there, movement with it was completely inverted (horizontal and vertically), I pressed X a couple times, then I hit 'O'.
I was right where I'd died, had full health, and most significantly still had my pistol out (which I'd been using during the hack) not my rifle (which it'd go back to if I'd respawned, right?).
I tried to check my deaths to see if it counted but I'd died more times than I could be sure of anyway. It may also be important that the depot was now friendly when I revived. |

I've had several strange experiences after pulling up the map. Some have been match ruining to where I had to restart the game in order to get out of the glitch it put me in. Some have been minor things like my gun isn't in my hands when I re-spawn, even though my hands are in gun-toting positions.
There seems to be something wrong with the ability to switch game screens while dead and pulling up the map or something like that. Most times I've had problems have been when I pull up the map after choosing my next re-spawn loadout and waiting for the re-spawn clock to tick down. Nearly every time, when the clock reaches zero and I should be spawning in, something strange happens and I don't spawn in...or sometimes I do but can't play for some reason.
Like...the other day when I spawned in after opening the map and I did nothing but fall infinitely through the sky as if from the MCC but nothing but blue sky was in view. Even after I hit the 'inertia dampener' (or whatever it's called) to cushion the contact with the ground I just kept falling through the sky with nothing in view but sky and air passing by me, just like the normal inertia dampener. Had to restart the game to get out of it.
EDIT:
BTW...it was in Skirmish (that's all I've been playing), don't remember which map. I'm not really familiar with any names of any maps.
Would sure be nice to have an in-game bug report. Maybe even something to take screen shots to show the devs the exact location on the map, time, date, and any other important info to help fix bugs. |

I'm not sure if this is related, but I have had weird death/map issues today several different games. One instance, I was killed, optioned to respawn, and went to the map view to choose my spawn location. I tried to left-stick to the closest auto click spawn point, but nothing would "snap" to a location. Instead, the map just scrolled as it would with the right stick controller. After several seconds of this, I noticed that my respawn countdown was set to --:--:-- or something similar. That's when I noticed that none of the default spawn locations had the typical blue blinking circles. After a few more seconds, I'm suddenly in game again where I died. It took me a moment to realize that I was alive and in action, but I tried to sprint forward and fire a round or two when I suddenly dropped dead. I was never given the loadout screen, nor could I select a spawn location. It was as if I was experiencing some major lag or something---enough to technically be killed, enter the map screen, sit for at least 6 seconds, return to the game, recognize my position, motion, then the death caught up to me. Except... there was no lag during the game. I only lost the one fitting.
Another oddity: running through a skirmish, I ADS on my Tactical AR. As my character runs the motion of pulling the gun up, my sceen goes black, the reticle comes up on a back screen, vanishes, the overview map comes up, then the listing of team players comes up. By the time I am able to get control of the interface, I'm dead. While that's probably not related, it was still pretty weird.
I've seen several posts the last few days of players noticing the player lists randoming popping up. I finally experienced it today during several games. The connection to this particular thread, I guess, is that my map seemed to be coming up as randomly, or when I pull it up for repsawn, options that would normally be there are not available as in the first example.
Idunno. Whatever is going on, it was odd enough and frequent enough to get my attention today. I've been playing for several months and have not experienced this, otherwise I'd dismiss it to my clumsiness.
+1 to ingame bug reports. At least it would be fresh in mind, mid-game, and all the important information like game type, map, timestamps, etc., would be automatically recorded. |
