Spawn Beacon no longer working on PC (09/12/25 update)

Just downloaded the December 9th update - I note that now playing as assault class - the spawn beacon no longer works. I've deployed multiple times (not in areas where it can be destroyed by opposition) and when I come to respawn - the beacon is not an option.

Numerous other issues - lag and packet loss persist - played less than one round of breakthrough due to awful game experience - looks like this update fixes nothing for me.
