How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? It won't let me respawn at a specific Location and says "spawn failed' even though we had full capture of the POI, and it makes you have to choose another location to spawn at.

Here are two images to show it happened more than once:

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks for the additional posts! This is still under investigation, with Control being temporarily removed from rotation for the time being.

    Feel free to follow the Twitter thread below for further updates on when that'll be returning, and once we have any additional info to share we'll reflect that here as well. Thanks!

    Still happening in Control. Start of the round, the spawns are broken. Sometimes they work for some of the round and then they break.

    Don't think I've had a single game since S17 launched where the CPs worked as expected for the entire round.

    Still happening; this is a bug that affects teams unequally (some players have the CPs broken, some don't) and that gives one team an absurd advantage. 

  • @凡尔赛宫 It have been there long time ago and respawn claim that it has been fixed!but it doesn't work at all

    If they don’t fix this bug before Neon Network comes out they might as well replace control with either capture the flag or Arenas. This bug has been going on long enough. Whenever I play the game I just play mixtape and lately I haven’t even wanted to do that because of all the stupid bugs including but not limited to: unable to pick up character abilities using the extra character actions (rampart walls, catalyst spike), the L-Star ion gun run not spawning as care package, and this crazy spawn bug that has been going on for months!!

  • It’s sucks man, I know EA is so much better than this. I grew up in the PvZ Star Wars battlefront era of game and Apex feels like a downgrade and several steps backwards from Star Wars Battlefront 1

    Interesting wrinkle from a Control game today.

    Match starts, the spawn points are broken. 

    During the course of the game, our team sets up the Respawn Beacon and I use it to respawn once.

    The spawn points are now fixed for me. I can spawn as expected.

    Your mileage may vary but I thought it worth mentioning.
