Spectating a live match eventually fails and disconnects client from the match

[dankomancer]

currently getting this problem. Results in infinite loading screen. Only way to get out of it is to change the map via console or close the game.

you can type disconnect in console too and it will default you to a new hideout

+1 happening again. It seems to not happen all the time, but just a lot of the time. IMO the main issue with this bug is that it puts you in an irrecoverable state until you manually re load the hideout somehow via console. I wish the game could just automatically re load hideout when this fail state happens, or if there was a way that we could try re-loading the HLTV broadcast we were just watching (cause u can usually reconnect to the match after, but it often gets lost in the spectate menu)

Still happening oct 14, "Playcast Cannot retrieve fragment" in concsole.

You can escape the loading screen by going console "disconnect" instead of ending process at least.

Edit: after getting kicked out a few times and trying to reconnect, I've been rate limited for the last 20 minutes lmao, incredibly frustrating
