Spectre Divide Update | November 5 | Patch Notes
GENERAL
Based on community feedback, we’ve enabled a basic version of Spectator Mode for Custom Matches to support competitive play.
Spectator Mode is currently in early Beta. You will encounter bugs and known issues.
We don’t intend to make many updates to Spectator Mode right now – most change/feature requests will be queued up for the future.
Known issues:
As a Spectator, your Sponsor Help (F1) menu is blank
If you start a Custom Match with a Spectator and no Attackers or Defenders, the match will be canceled
As a Spectator, the Map (M) will only show Sponsor logos for the team you’re actively spectating
As a Spectator, sometimes a player in the top HUD will show as disconnected when they’re not (reconnecting to the match typically fixes this)
As a Spectator, at the start of the round, the Minimap will briefly show the player arrows as dots
The color indicators above the player portraits at the top of the Spectator HUD are incorrect
Some equipment cooldowns don’t update properly when observing individual players
The colors used to highlight teams through walls use different color values from the minimap
Voice-over lines are sometimes incorrectly attributed to the Spectator
There are some issues with Spectator + Widescreen. For example, if you’re observing a player scoped using a sniper rifle and then you change players, you may be stuck with black borders
This corrects itself after a short amount of time.
BUG FIXES
Fixed an issue where spamming Ping repeatedly could cause an unexpected performance drop
Fixed an issue where your camera would sometimes remain stationary when being eliminated by an enemy (instead of showing your 3rd-person death animation)
Fixed an issue where enemy outlines would sometimes look incorrect when overlapping
Fixed an issue where you could not purchase Endorsement tracks for various items
