(Stadium) - UI forcibly disabled during MVP stat screen

I’m not sure if it’s part of the game code and how it handles transitions to the next round, but for some reason on the MVP stats screen at the end of a given round it will force close everything on your screen related to the UI. Any half typed messages in the chat text box are locked out and erased, you can’t hit escape to view Social or Options, game basically becomes totally unresponsive.

When the game becomes responsive again then shortcuts you pressed during the lockout period are processed and your social screen will pop up, sometimes voiceline shortcuts will accidentally process and play if you were mid-text message when the UI closed, etc.

If it’s not a technical impossibility, can we just have the UI functional without the awkward lockout? It’s rough trying to type a message and then it getting forced off in between rounds.

It’s bad netcode.

You can clearly see that it’s designed so that players have to watch that stat sceen.

But in doing so, it lock-outs EVERYTHING.

Now imagine if you lag on that screen…

Now you are stuck. It doesn’t just lock you out of other menus, it locks you out of Windows.

You can’t TAB out, you can’t exit game.

You must now reset/reboot PC.
