Not sure why this was happening but I would pick a spawn point and I could start but there was a second "game starts in" clock at the top. No matter what I did, I always got kicked back to the spawn screen again when that second clock reached 0, and then had to wait fifteen or whatever seconds to spawn again while watching other people running around that got to spawn right away.

Was I doing something wrong?

Because when the game starts it automatically goes back to the spawn screen. If you're running around before the "game starts" timer finishes it also goes back to the spawn screen. Try waiting until the timer goes away before spawning.

Hmmm, well I tried waiting at the spawn screen until the game start timer reached 0 and then clicking spawn but I still had to wait. I tried hitting it with 1 second left and etc and still had to wait while others did not.

I did see someone else text message asking how everyone else was spawning so quickly but when we asked about it, nobody responded.

when it gets to five start counting with it to you get it stuck in your head and when it gets to 0 press spawn at the right moment at u will spawn
