Version 2 - Specate, then cannot respawn error

[Antigod]

I have tested Version 2 tonight, I found that I could not join any servers, therefore I created my own server and had 6 people join.

The main bug we found was as follows:

You'll be following a player when you've died, the wave will end and start again but you'll stay stuck spectating to that player. Your body will respawn but you can't control it. if you werent following a player when the wave restarted then you respawn and can play.

Please can one of the developers look into this problem.

Thanks

Killing Floor 2 Bug List:

1.) Spectator Mode – When you spectate a player when dead, you cannot respawn, instead you keep spectating whilst your body is respawned. This error continues to happen unless you spectate in free mode and not on another player.

2.) Clone error - A player will be playing the game but there will be a clone of them still at base, when you are being attacked you warp back to clone, then back again after attack, it is usually very difficult to survive this as you cannot see what is happening whilst being attacked.

3.) Score Board – The score board (F1 key) does not seem to work. On UT2004 Invasion and KF1.0 you can press F1 and see the player scores, ping times and whether they are dead. In version 2 you can only see a title of Player and Cash, but even the server player (host) isn’t listed, very annoying, its nice to check who’s still alive etc.

4.) Chat Mode - This isn’t necessarily a bug, but when you first log onto a server you are given the opportunity to click Ready, Disconnect and also have the chat facility. I think it would be a great idea if the chat mode was brought back when you died or maybe give it a key bind. It would then allow dead players to chat and discuss tatics and there next strategy.

5.) Menu Slow down – Again I don’t necessarily think this is a bug, its understandable why it slows down due to the new 3D background (which I have to admit I like a lot). I think that many people might class this as a bug.

I think that’s it really, obviously there’s that problem with connecting to servers but I think that’s a server side issue, I hosted about 4 servers last night (Listen mode, not dedicated) and didn’t experience a problem (other than the above).

From what I have seen, I think the developers have done a fantastic job. The level design and feel of the game is excellent, and the weapon system is A LOT better. I hope the game receives some form of update on the bugs reported, if so then I have no problem in saying that this is one of the best Mods I have ever played, the whole survival horror thing is the real deal with this mod (its too bloody hard, hehe).

Thanks

i can help with a temp fix to the spec bug when you are watching them in third person before the wave ends right click and go into cam spectate hope that helps

[Antigod]

Thanks, yeah I do that now, I hosted a few servers last night and told every1 who joined to not spectate people unless they quickly go to free view.

Hopefully there'll be some updates on these bugs, looks as though many ppl are experiencing them.

The main one that bugs me the most is the lack of the scoreboard, Im one of those players that keeps checking stats and its nice to see if theres any survivors left!

I actually get the spectater problem alot with ut2004 invasion with ut2004 rpg mut. the only thing that causes it is when you receive a lagspike before your about to respawn.And also their might be one bug that might happen after that where your pov get's fubared and you can see what's behind you, if that does happen go into third person view and walk around for a minuet or 3 or untill you die again and go back into first person.

I hosted another server again last night and this seems be to catching alot of people out. I try them at the start of each wave/game to not spectate, but every so often someone will still do this. Is there anyway within the server settings to disable spectate mode? Like in Counter Strike/Day of Defeat, you can set up different spectate modes?

In the end though its a good thing to be able to spectate, otherwise it gets boring!

Hopefully this one will be resolved. Anybody else got news on this?
