Do PGI know about this? Is this something they plan on fixing? This is downright game crippling.

For those of you fortunate enough to not have encountered it, basically, during respawn into the next mech during faction warfare invasion/defense match, occasionally you will be either stuck in dropship or stuck on the scorescreen without any way to remedy the situations. Like you can't move, you can't shoot, you can't spectate... nothing. You are literally stuck there.

The only remedy is to quit application completely. As I have found out, if you simply quit match instead of game? Now you are BONED with no ability to rejoin. (And don't tell me like to click attack/defense or whatever, what it looks like is a "not ready" button with no effect if you click on it)

No one knows exactly what condition will cause this bug. All everyone know is that, if you get it... you are F-ed. There are rumors that it might fix itself. But I have waited 10 min before without it "fixing itself."

So come on PGI. Before you make grand changes and introduce new contents (and try to milk money from more mechs), can we like... at least fix this ridiculous bug that's existed forever?

There is an in-game fix if you are not on your last mech.

1. Click the other mech available.
2. Click the original mech and wait for the dropship timer to reach zero.

This should clear the HUD.

See? It's not a bug. It's a free mini game! We can name it something catchy, like 'Dropship Escape', 'Pause mode, ENGAGE!', or 'PGI is f*cking clueless'. Personally I like that last one.

not what i encountered today. i was on 2nd to last. i chose, and dropped, and stuck on score screen. can't choose again, nada, can't get out of it. see, that's why this bug needs to be addressed. we know the approximate issue, which is always on respawn. but we don't know the cause, and even the symptoms is different (at least 2 variants that i know of)

so your fix maybe worked for some miraculous reason on ONE specific case... but far from universal.

This was a special feature snuck into FW Phase 3. Instead of Logistics, Repair and Rearm or more Immersion you get a free minigame.

Welcome to Phase 3!

It's been around way way longer than Phase 3.

I got stuck in the waiting to re-spawn screen, and it would count down to zero, and then start the count again, went through 4 counts downs before it dropped me....

Tried the escape and the tab keys, and alt tabbed out of the game and back, before it let me drop on the 4th count down......

has only happened the 1 time.......

You do realize for PGI to know bugs like this existed they would actually have to have someone playing Faction Warfare.

Or read the Forums ... maybe even Twitter.

Seeing that there are only three threads on this and it is still occurring, it will be a while before PGI actually reads a thread or plays Invasion. <sighhhhh going back to poker freerolls>

Every bug feature must be funded -> buy Mech packs!
