Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Near Skull Town.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. I was spectating my teammate playing
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Many.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 17.02.19 23:58
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? See attached image. I was downed, waiting for banner recovery. I was spectating Bangalore as they revived Gibraltar after firing off the smoke Q ability for cover. Upon finishing the revive, the screen went to what is shown in the attached image. It did not go back to normal even when my teammates were downed and our squad was eliminated.
What should be happening instead? Spectating should continue normally.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure, but I would imagine it has something to do with spectating options upon revived of a downed squad mate.
I was downed and waiting for banner recovery. When Bangalore revived Gibraltar after firing smoke, I got the following screen. Regular spectating was not able to be resumed and eventually my squad was eliminated. Very interesting.
