No comm given at game start

[2k4]

Bug is that no comm is assigned at start

Possible cause: When a game is forced started at the same time as a player that is believed not to join anymore joins, nobody gets assigned a commander.

if a game is forced and a player has not chosen a starting point, the commander gets thrown into a corner. try ctrl+c to make sure he is on the map somewhere.

That functionality is actually pretty nasty on tiny maps. For example, consider a left-right war - say a right player crashed out and the game was force-started. Well, now the enemy team has a commander standing in the left starting area.

that happened in a game we played. the enemy comm started right by one of our guys and we were trying to be nice and transport him over to the other side but he just self-Ded his comm. im just saying that he does end up one the map in a corner

thats not the bug I meant, but also indeed a nasty bug
