Additional Notes
Tested a similar setup that was functional 0535-3255-9081 and the Issue is also present.
Note that if a server is joined, left, and the same server is re-joined. The Join-In-Progress player will go to spectating mode because the 'Spawn Limit" setting is set to 1. This would be normal behavior.
In this report, Any player joining a match in progress for the first time appears to have the potential of experiencing this issue.
