Deploy Screen Freezes and Input Stops Working

It's been happening several times since season 3. You want to deploy but it looks like part of your hud hasn't loaded. You cannot deploy by hitting space. You can't deploy by plugging in a controller. There is no option in the menu to redeploy. You have to wait for someone to kill you before you can actually deploy on your next life. Heck, once you are down you can't even choose to quicken your demise. You can see in the video he just flaps his hand and nothing happens. I have this at least a couple of times a day since season 3 started but I only thought of recording it today

    NodNod666​ Appreciate it. So, there are some similar issues like this, but they are also different. I see the black screen, but then I see the freezing, the mouse input, etc. With the patch notes, it could just be something that wasn't updated or is corrupted.

    Are you on Steam or the EA app?

    Have you performed any of these?

    Disable in-game overlay
    Cleared EA app Cache
    Verify the integrity of the files in Steam
    Deleted the PROFSAV files in the Documents folder
    Deleted Windows temp files through the Run command

    A 1 day reply? That must be a record. Nice

    • Does this seem to happen more often after opening the Edit Loadout screen before deploying? 
      • I think. It's hard to tell as I'm usually fiddling with my loadout screen while waiting for the match to start
    • Have you noticed if this is more common on a specific mode/map, or does it happen pretty randomly across everything?
      • It's happened in breakthrough, casual breakthrough, conquest, escalation
    • When it happens, are you usually trying to spawn on a squadmate/vehicle/objective, or does it also happen from base spawn?
      • It is always the first spawn in the match and I'm spawning in HQ by myself

    NodNod666​ Thanks for recording this. That helps a lot.

    The part where the HUD looks partially unloaded, spacebar/controller input stops working, redeploy is missing, and even the bleed-out/skip state gets stuck are some of the other deployment and respawn issues players have been reporting since Season 3 started. The recent 1.3.1.5 Update also specifically mentioned fixes around players being unable to respawn/redeploy correctly and issues tied to the deploy/loadout flow, so this definitely feels useful to surface alongside those reports.

    A couple of things that may help narrow it down further:

    • Does this seem to happen more often after opening the Edit Loadout screen before deploying?
    • Have you noticed if this is more common on a specific mode/map, or does it happen pretty randomly across everything?
    • When it happens, are you usually trying to spawn on a squadmate/vehicle/objective, or does it also happen from base spawn?
