What is up with this infuriating bug? It makes trying to get on the same team as clannies all but impossible.
oh, and if you can hear me teamswitch, fuck you again.

Yeah, this has been a bug since the last update. This and getting stuck in respawn...
Happens to me quite often...hopefully they will fix it...

It happens to me at least 5-7 times a map...
And it typically happens when I'm pwning a ridiculous amount of people...

it wouldnt have to do with the fact you constantly try to place yourself in areas of the map that weren't meant to be stood on would it?

Oh no not at all...there shouldn't be a relationship between the two.
Maybe the game is trying to tell me I'm pwning too much and need to tone it down a little...-shrug-
its really annoying when I get side tracked and I realized I've been in respawn for over a minute...

Dead spectator mode? Is this the same as getting stuck trying to join teams after map change?
The stuck in respawn thing is easy to fix. Just change class (even to the same class). To fix being stuck at team selection, you have to reconnect.

These fixes are true, and they do work. But it is still annoying. Especially when you're on a good streak with your session_data...
Having to reconnect to the server sets the value back to 0:0.
I dunno, I like being able to see my session_data build.

yeah, i only say dead spectator because when you try to type to all chat your name is grey and there's a *DEAD* tag in front of it.
and you're right, disconnecting and reconnecting to the server fixes it, which wouldn't be a problem normally, except that these servers get full QUICKLY after a map change

Some players have noticed a connection that could contribute to these problems.
Spamming one team can get you stuck on the character selection screen or "dead spectator" as you called it. It's understandable if you want to play on a team with friends/clan members but try not to just spam the key when selecting.
Some people have noticed the "Stuck in respawn" occurs when you have something else open such as Steam friends or the scoreboard as you die.
This isn't a permanent fix, of course, but other people have said it seems to have reduced the number of times this happens to them.
