When attempting to load into a competitive match, there are instances where the game glitches upon starting. Instead of displaying the character select screen, the game places me at a random point under the map, as if I’m bugged beneath it. This results in the game becoming unplayable as I cannot interact, reload, or resolve the issue in any way. I am forced to quit the match, which directly impacts my match suspensions and overall competitive experience.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Queue for a competitive match.
- Joining any match (while you wait)
- Match found as same time as entering game(while you wait).
- Upon match start, the character select screen does not appear, and I am placed under the map.
Expected Behavior:
The character select screen should appear, allowing me to choose a character and begin the match as normal.
Actual Behavior:
Instead of the character select screen, I spawn under the map with no ability to move or interact, causing me to be forced to leave the match.
Impact:
This bug is significantly affecting ability to participate in competitive matches and is causing frequent early quits, resulting in suspension penalties. The issue appears to be a hardlock with no apparent fix during the match.
