Steps to Reproduce

  1. Carry a knocked-out player on your back.
  2. Drop the player onto the Mutator Zone (do not throw).
  3. The entire matchmaking system freezes and eventually crashes.

Expected Result

The knocked-out player should be affected by the Mutator Zone’s effect as intended, without impacting the movement of other players or the match session.

Observed Result

All players in the match become frozen and unable to move. Shortly after, the matchmaking system crashes entirely. This issue only started after the v42.00 update.

Additional Notes

This issue appeared after the v42.00 update and was not present before. It affects all Creative maps, not just a specific one, and impacts the entire match session (not only the players involved in the knock-down). This should be treated as high priority since it makes matchmaking crash for everyone in the match.
