Dedicated server spawns everyone in as a spectator camera

Post by Dookie317 » Mon Aug 03, 2015 9:46 am

So i have recently setup and have had success with running my own dedicated server. I was able to join along with my friends perfectly fine. Now when anyone logs into the server you are put in a spectator camera that can hover the world and no clip through anything. The biggest problem of this is that you cannot spawn as there is no way to access the menu. I have tried to re validate the files through steam cmd and have not had any luck. Any suggestions would be great!!

I have actually finally found out what the problem was after 4-5 days of searching...... The server was spawning you in as a spectator and apparently there is a command "stopspectate" in the console to get out of this mode....... (there is also a admin command which i don't remember but will work the same.)
