Loading Problems in G&G

I have to apologise if I don't explain this properly, but this has happened to me 5 times now, and it's becoming infuriating.

So I'm playing a normal game of Gardens and Graveyards. I'm just working along with my team, and everything is fine. No lag, no jumpy characters, game plays normally.

I get killed, and choose to respawn. I respawn in the world, but my character's model never appears. Even after at least, 2 minutes.

I press start and head to the menu, press respawn. I go back to the character select, and select my character again. This time, I get stuck on a loading screen with a marigold (the flower) in the corner with just a black screen.

I never respawn on the map again, and the loading screen stays.

If I'm lucky, I get out of it - it only happens if someone gets the last objective, or time runs out. It goes to the animation, and (in the case of Wall-Nut Hills) I get this: http://i59.tinypic.com/fuulix.jpg

If my team doesn't make it to the end of the game while I'm loading, I simply just get booted from the game for being idle, despite that I was ON A LOADING SCREEN. By booted, I mean this: http://i60.tinypic.com/2q8mrdz.jpg

Has anyone else had this problem? It's happened to me on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

  • When you turn invisible, your best option is to just quit out; as if you die and try to respawn you'll be stuck on that loading screen indefinitely.

    Question time:

    About how many games would you say you've played?

    What team were you on?

    At what objective did you die?

    Did they cap the base as you were dead?

    Yeah, I've figured that already.

    About five times it's happened, I might be a little vague with this as I don't have a good memory.

    First was the Pool in Wall-Nut Hills, I was playing as the Commando Pea and I was defending the base. I died, and respawned before they took the base,and my character never appeared. They took the base, and as I was trying to move away, I was shot down by a Foot Soldier and was sent to the loading screen. The Zombies destroyed the Mansion before I was kicked from the game, and after the pre-match leaderboard, everything was fine in the next match. (Xbox 360)

    Another time I was playing with a friend in G&G. We were playing on Main Street, and it was early on in the match, at the Apartments. I was playing as Zombies, as a Scientist. I was advancing on the base through the houses when I stepped on a Potato Mine. When I respawned, I didn't see my character. I didn't bother this time and just left the match. (Xbox One)

    This happened again later on another match, on the same map. I was playing as a Tank Commander on the fourth objective. We took over the base, I was killed by a fleeing Chomper, and I respawned and didn't appear. Once again, I just left the match. (Xbox One)

    It's more or less the same each time, just in the more recent ones I just left and had to apologise to my friends. Each time, I had been playing for at least 3 previous G&G matches in a row, wether they were short or long.

    It's hard to say. Because G&G games are long, it's usually about 3-8 games before it happens. Usually around 3 or 5.

    Does it still happen?

  • Yes, its the invisible character issue, progress far enough and your map and enemies stop loading.

    Just no one knows how to reliably reproduce it.
