JOIN IN PROGRESS - SPAWN ON NEXT ROUND NOT WORKING!

Summary

In my map, I have the Join In Progress option set to “Spawn On Next Round”

Yet when a player joins the game in progress, they spawn in anyway and can play.

Island Settings

Steps to Reproduce

Create a UEFN island.
Set the Join In Progress option to “Spawn On Next Round”
Create a Private Version of the game
Start the Game
Have someone Join the match in progress

Expected Result

I would expect anyone who joins a match in progress when “Spawn On Next Round” is enabled, to go to spectate for that round, then Spawn on the next playable round.

Observed Result

Players are spawning in immediately, not spectating and not spawning on the next round, instead, they spawn on the current round.

Additional Notes

In general, the Join In Progress option has been broken for a long time now, which is quite crucial for many games.

It needs addressing ASAP.
