No more spectator mode?

Unread postby Intensevil » 16 Feb 12, 1:52 am

Been a few weeks since I played guys. Jumped on tonight to play and was getting insta head shotted like crazy by 2 players, so I wanted to spec them to see if they were suss or not and record a demo if they were. But it looks like the spectator mode is completely disabled, so how are we supposed to get evidence if we can't even view them in 1st person mode?

The 32 player servers do have spectator mode disabled as a result from having the Auto-Assign set on. Considering players were ignoring the auto-assign and then joining spectator (after the auto-assign) to then stack the teams that is why it was disabled.

Unfortunately the side affect is that you can't go into spectator to record demo's as easily, but you can still do an !Admin call and if available an Admin will have a look at the players for you. (Admins can still be spectators).
