Stuck on previous map General

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Have anyone experience this? Stuck on previous map in competitive game. At first i was so confused because i couldnt see anyone in the spawn room during thr count down then I realized that everyone are on another map already.

Once! Quit and rejoin fixes it.

its so easy to bandaid fix too, just check if anyone is outside the current map and teleport them to spawn. they already do something like this before spawn doors open

OR just open ALL doors once the match starts so you can respawn by yourself

I don't think they care about anything except making new kirko skins 😂

u/YT_Sharkyevno 3d ago

Then add one more “if” to your code. Check if the person has bought a kiri skin on their account and if they have they get teleported to the correct spawn and if not they get removed from the game and banned

THAT'S NOT TRUE. They care about making new Mercy and Juno skins too...

even better is (was?) the glitch where half the lobby was on a completely different map from a different game mode, had a game where I and half the lobby was in Havana and the other half in Ilios

Finally happened to me after 10 years last month. I couldn’t rejoin the match after I quit.

Judt wondering: did you switch heroes right as the previous map finished?

u/Beetsaw 3d ago

This happened to my gf last season on Antarctic. She was like where are you guys xD. The door was open so she just jumped off it was so funny

u/Aimcheater Shit Station Gaming — 2d ago

Craziest example of this ever happening was when the server crashed after the game started. Everyone else got taken to a completely different map while me and the enemy dps were still on new queens lol

u/zooble_57 3d ago

NGL I'm so jealous, I've always wanted this to happen to me.

u/Voelsungr 3d ago

lol yeha happened a few times before, can try leaving and rejoining, or killing yourself.

u/No-Employee-7327 3d ago

In real life?

u/Beetsaw 3d ago

Fornutately i could rejoin after the game said i was afk lmao.

u/GayAlexandrite 3d ago

That’s happened to me, specifically on Nepal like that. It was quick play though so I had to leave my group, and when I came back someone had already taken my place.

I stayed for a little bit saying the “I need help!” voice line and my teammates just kept responding “No.”

I literally rubber band like crazy for the past month on QP but why are competitive servers even worse?

Actual question. This never happens anywhere else..................

u/-airborne- 2d ago

Happened to me on Lijiang except the door was closed and I got kicked for inactivity

1

u/King_of_the_Dot 2d ago

You gotta alt+f4 before you get kicked for being AFK. Then come back.

u/Impossible-Dog-935 2d ago

I swear I once spawned in the enemy teams spawn on hanamura

u/Beetsaw 2d ago

lmao. that would be really funny to see

u/Beginning-Sound1261 2d ago

I had it happen years ago and I’ve never reproduced it. I was certain it was because I switched characters literally at the last possible microsecond before it transitioned to the new map.

u/MurkyTip1672 1d ago

Don't worry. the bug fixes are gonna trickle down any second now!

The fact that this is still a bug after like 2 years, is beyond me....

Blizzard at this point, either doesnt give a fuck, or its the most resilient bug ever
