When other players join my map with matchmaking, some of them get forced to switch to spectate and I’m unsure why. The max player count is well above the people joining and there is available spawn pads for everyone. What am I doing wrong?
Hey J4mxs! I’m gonna try to help but first I will need more info:
Are you using Creative or UEFN? Can you share your Island Settings with us so we can better understand the problem?
There is an option in the Island Settings Called Join In Progress, by default its set to “Spawn Next Round” if you want players to join mid-game and spawn you need to set the option to “SPAWN”
Using Creative 1.0

I had a thought, but not sure how to test - is there a limit to the amount of players that spawn in one area? I have a pre-game lobby where all players spawn in perfectly fine (spawn pads are distanced) but when the game starts and uses other spawn pads, some players are forced to spectate. Can anyone test the theory?

^50 spawn pads
Ok, let’s try by checking some extra settings. I will list some settings below, which you should check if your island has the specified value:
- Mode/Structure/Team Size: Dynamic
- Mode/Spawning/Join in Progress: Spawn
- Mode/Spectating/Allow Spectating Other Teams: Disallowed (this setting should not interfere with gameplay but lets test it anyways)
Try with those settings and let me know if it worked!
