Summary
Whiplash car / sports car spawner increases round load times as more are added to the game. With more than 6 whiplashes the round waiting times increase from average 20 seconds to 40 seconds.
Additionally, when the round starts, players tend to freeze for 10 seconds if there are more than 6 Whiplash cars near the player spawners.
Steps to Reproduce
1.Start a game with round-based gameplay.
2.Add six or more Whiplash car spawners.
3.End the current round and start loading the next one.
4.Observe that the round loading times increase significantly, with the game getting stuck on the black loading screen for over 15 seconds, displaying “Starting Game” text in the bottom right corner.ng black screen getting longer. Then getting stuck on the black screen with starting game text in right bottom corner for a longer period of time (+15 seconds)
Expected Result
1.Start a round-based game.
2.Add Whiplash car spawners.
3.Experience normal round load times without any significant delays.
Observed Result
-
Round-based game
-
With 4 Whiplash spawners, the round load times are approximately 20 seconds, and the “Starting Game” load screen lasts a maximum of 5 seconds. Increasing the number of spawners to 6 results in average round waiting times of 45 seconds.
-
With 8 Whiplash spawners, the black screen part takes 20 seconds, followed by another 20 seconds on the “Starting Game” black screen. Finally, players spawn but are frozen for 15 seconds before the round begins.
Platform(s)
Happening on all platforms, PC
Additional Notes
The round delay is more noticable, when the map is public and there are more players in it.
