Can you finally repair COTD-related servers? Many players start out with a strange problem. There are always 4-10 players at the start of each match who cannot go at all. This is a bit tiring because players go first 15 minutes to qualify to find out that it's buggy again.

Hello @RektInPeace420 thanks for letting us know you encountered this spawn/join bug that causes you to reset the game. This issue has been under investigation for some time and was considered to be related to packet loss.

We have let the team know there has been a new recent report into this, for now, we can only advise you close your game when this happens, reset your router, then relaunch the game.

Should we need to ask you any further information about this issue for our QA team, we will get back to you in this thread, I am sorry to see this has affected you each day so far in COTD.

Hey @hunden,

Sorry to hear you are also encountering this issue often. Can I just check whether the steps mentioned by Ubi-Milky help when this happens for you?

Many thanks

Hello @STAX thanks for getting in touch with us.

Can you give us a little more information on this bug, is it the bug that will affect some players and place them in a birds-eye camera view, where they can not join the race, which they will need to restart the game to resolve? Or is this another issue?

If this issue is something not already reported in the forum, as per our pinned post, are you able to upload a video demonstrating this when it happens, so we can forward this to our Trackmania teams to look at? > https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/116095/how-to-report-a-new-bug-in-trackmania

Thanks for that video @STAX I can confirm this is what is known as the 'join bug' by some Trackmania players, thank you for the up-to-date streamer clips.

This issue will cause players to enter spectator mode and not be able to leave without a restart of the game. Some players will use an Open Planet plug-in to workaround this issue where they can leave the lobby, instead of needing to restart the game.

This issue has been a difficult one to try and fix by our dev team, if there are any data packets that are lost while connecting to the match this error can occur.
