There have been several instances where Countdown doesn't start; the timer doesn't show up nor have any of the hunters spawned. Only after about 45-60 seconds does the 15 min timer appear and the hunters spawn in.
This seems like an intermittent bug — unable to reproduce consistently. Since everyone on the team is affected, it's unlikely a problem with my client.
