Product: Battlefield V
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number nvidia 2070super
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Breakthrough
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug If the game engine has a race condition and you are left in camera mode without respawning, you cannot initiate a respawn as the game thinks you are dead (redeploy is not an option)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? just play your game. it happens in certain revive/death circumstances, or also if a sector is taken while you die, etc. this happens in every frostbite game, and can also happen at spawn (decoupling of camera and unit, no weapon spawn, etc)
What happens when the bug occurs? you get stuck with the camera fixed to a death position
What should be happening instead? you should go into the respawn menu; an option to manually respawn should be available.

If the game engine has a race condition and you are left in camera mode without respawning, you cannot initiate a respawn as the game thinks you are dead (redeploy is not an option anymore in the menu)

 

Of course you could fix these async bugs by handling the coroutines better, but, as long as these race conditions exist, maybe it would help if the redeploy button is always present, even if the game client thinks you are dead.

 

just as the console key disabling being a constant frustration in every single frostbite game, this could be standard behaviour for other games; speaking of console, at least if there would be a respawn command, then the unavoidable console which jumps in every time one tries to press 1 and select a weapon and also hits the tilde key accidentaly, would have at least a use case for the normal user

 

problem is only way to fix it at the moment is wait for the round to end, or quit the session.

@g4borg See this topic for the only workaround currently available:

And besides multiple topics this is a bit the main thread.

It is on EA / DICE lists but no ETA available yet.
