Solo/Lan game on escape maps cockroach bug

[Davetiger]

Every game in solo/lan play with a friend when we respawn the map .. they come back as a cockroach and the only way to get back to human is have the server exit game back to main menu i've only played escape maps not sure if this happens to other maps but it did do it on both escape maps

Check advanced settings when you are setting up the server. Look for "Zombie players" in these settings and make sure the option is set to "Enabled."

it is set to zombie

Yep occurs on hunted on all maps aswell.
We tried changing all the settings, It works if you choose diable then re choose enabled seems that the infection setting is getting the same glitch aswell because we turned it off and it didnt stay off. But after the first round it occurs again and we have to close the server and restart. Its happening for multiple players, its a real pain in the ass. Seems that the lan/solo section is bugged to hell and not saving settings correctly regardless of who is hosting.
On the plus side shooting the cockroachs makes them die and drop pistol ammo so thats neat.

TL:DR
-Lan settings are bugged and dont set properly
-To set them properly you have to choose disable first then rechoose enable
-When you get them to set they dont stay set for more than one round
-Even leaving the server and rejoining it keeps you stuck in spec mode after the first round.
-If you do manage to go all zombie in the first round, you still respawn as a cockroach the next round.
-If your the first to die in a match it occurs to you, and then continues to add players to the bug every preceeding round.
-If it happens to the host the game gets stuck in an endless Match start, end screen loop.

I.e. You get the end match results, The new map loads up after the old one has faded away from the background and the end match result screen remains but resets, continues in an infinite loop of audio and background pic fading out then resetting behind the results board.

Definetly sitting this out till its fixed up. Sorry guys but you kinda screwed the pooch on this one, the early access version worked perfectly and now the games broken to all hell.
P.s. Note the irony that is my TL:DR sectiong being bigger than the original hahaha.

Will definitely look into this. Thank you for the report.

Phew... was starting to think it was just happening in my house...

[fdart70]

Since I havent seen anything posted about a fix for this, is there a console command to switch the affected players from being a roach back to a regular player? Since this is a lan game with family members, I'm not concerned about having sv cheats on...

[fdart70]

Anyone know if this has been fixed? Or a console command to switch teams?

This bug is still occuring, correct?

not sure I've been playing wildstar

[Darkshape]

Yes. Was just playing solo/lan escape and 100% of the time after a player died (or a player who was a zombie from infection died) they would only return as the roach.

[fdart70]

Grrr... was really hoping this was fixed or as I mentioned before, a console command to change them back to a player.

This issue is still happening, can this please get fixed?

[fdart70]

No rant to see here :P
Ok so after posting my frustrations, I see this was in the 7/31 changelog:

Changes to networking system in an attempt to fix LAN related issues

Can anyone confirm if this is now working? I cant get anyone else in my house to play unless they know for a fact they are not going to be a roach for eternity...

happened to me earlier in splitscreen. suicide helps, like in most of life's ills.

Cockroach problem in hunted?

Whenever I die in hunted, instead of turning into a zombie, i turn into a cockroach when playing with my friends. This isn't that bad in itself, until when the round ends, a new one begins, and i am still a cockroach. Anyone know any fixes?
