[Annoying] Respawn not immediate when killed with certain weapons.

KubeDawg · 10-27-2008, 03:19 PM

I've noticed this a lot lately, not sure if it happened in < 2.1, but it happens now, so basically, whenever I'm killed with a sniper rifle or flamethrower, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to respawn. I keep clicking my fire/direction arrows to respawn, but it physically won't let me until IT wants me to respawn. This can be resolved by the server having auto respawning available, but a lot of pubs don't do that. Any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?

I've noticed this happen on a few other weapons as well, but the sniper rifle and flamethrower are the ones that occur the most.

I never noticed that it was a specific weapon that did this, but I have noticed that sometimes if I just happen to be holding down the fire button I respond almost that same second, but sometimes I can be waiting upto 3 to 4 seconds to respawn.

I know its not much, but it is noticeable and annoying.

There is a respawn wait time.

In TF2, maybe, but the respawn is supposed to be immediate whenever you hit Fire or any directional character.

Yea there shouldn't be a wait time, unless you kill yourself to switch classes.

I've noticed this, too, but never given it any thought.

Guess we'll take a look!
