Eliminated players after respawn can't shoot, run or crouch

Summary

When players respawn in the next round after elimination, they can’t shoot, run or crouch, no access to the slot weapons, to fix the problem in game you have to climb on an object by doing a double jump (mantle). The player who wasn’t eliminated does not have this issue. In the hud the weapons are small when we respawn, and after when we climb the weapons icon reappears larger, and we can use them. It was working fine before and just started working like this now.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Added 4 player spawn pads
  2. Added item granter to grant kinetic boomerang to players when spawned
  3. Set the game to have 10 rounds and the last standing to end the round
  4. The players fall into damage volume and get eliminated by it

Expected Result

In every round the players should spawn, get the kinetic boomerang and try to knock others into damage volume and to win the round you should be the last one standing.

Observed Result

The eliminated players after respawn in new round can’t shoot, can’t build, open inventory and speed run. To fix the problem in game you have to climb on an object by doing a double jump (mantle).

Platform(s)

PC, XBOX, PS5

UPDATE: Okay. I’ve managed to figure out when this bug happens and it’s when you have more than 1 round in your game and in Island Settings in Post Round the Round Score Display Time is set to any value.
