Won't spawn in game!?!? Please help!

Post by Private Parts »

Hey guys and gals,

I was playing yesterday and the game loaded up just fine, connected to the server, and then it just sat at the spawn screen. It let me select a spawn point, but I would just never spawn. Later on, after restarting the computer and getting back in the game, I spawned successfully, but after I died it wouldn't let me spawn again! Could this be a Punkbuster problem? Or maybe a TeamSpeak issue? Please help!

Thanks,

Private Parts

I had the same issue the other day. Then I got kicked for a PB communication problem. I came back in and it was fine. I thought it was happening again yesterday but it just hung up for a sec.

I run my AV SUPER tight and it was stepping on PB.

Well I guess it was just a one time thing because it has been fine since then. Thanks for the reply, Swanny! :)

Just did that to me twice, when I went to leave the game, it said "kicked for losing packets"...

You don't need to re-install PB, the issue lies with the PB files that are on the server.

We are working on it and should have this issue fixed shortly.

well what exactly happens is, you highlight a spawn point but it isn't detected by the server. even though the point is chosen/highlighted, the text by the countdown timer say "spawn point not chosen" and you simply don't spawn... oh and, you can't switch teams when it happens either (I tried)

Good to hear Lee, send a shout out to Swanny since he took the time to redo the entire server to make sure everything was running fine.

No problem. Dan and I are becoming interchangeable anyway and we did coordinate it, so thanks to one is a thanks to all. It was probably time anyway.

Now if Dan can just get the PBBans working again ... :)
