Player stuck in downed state after bleed-out – unable to respawn or be revived

Platform: PC (Steam)

Description:
When the player is downed and the bleed-out timer expires, the character remains stuck in the downed state. Normally, after the timer ends, the player should automatically go to the respawn screen. However, in this case, the player stays lying on the ground indefinitely and cannot be revived by teammates or manually respawn.

Steps to Reproduce:

Get downed by enemy fire.

Wait until the bleed-out timer expires.

Observe that the character remains in the downed state.

Try to respawn or get revived — both options are unavailable.

Expected Result:
After the bleed-out timer expires, the player should automatically return to the respawn screen and be able to rejoin the match.

Actual Result:
The player remains stuck in the downed state forever and cannot respawn or be revived. The only way to continue is to quit to the main menu and rejoin the game.

Severity: Major (game-breaking; requires leaving the match)
Reproducibility: Frequent
Platform Details: PC – Steam

  • It's in the title, I have 99% chances of not being able to spawn after changing loadout on death screen, the UI is hidden and my character stays on the ground watching life goes on whithout him...

    I play on PC.

    This is unacceptable for a 70€ game 150 days afer launch and multiple betas

    Since season 2 has started every few games I play when I get downed I can't respawn. I play on PS5. Usually Domination, King of the Hill, Squad Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch. I have not tried any other modes yet. This did not happen to me once during season 1. Makes me not want to play anymore. What is going on?

    Platform: PC (Ryzen 5800X3D, RX6800XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD)
    Game Mode: TDM (possibly for other modes too)

    Situation:

    During the game, after changing primary weapon and being downed by the enemy, loadout page appears and once you press 'Y' to close the loadout page as instructed on screen, you can't proceed any further in the match and are stuck in the downed position. No HUD appears at all.

    There was a similar bug previously that affected every game mode, where you were stuck on the loadout screen. This was seemingly fixed but this is a bit different in that you get past the loadout page but you are stuck in the downed state.
