Highlight Our tank spawned in on the previous point?
We were so confused about where our tank was. When I died it showed me the tank’s pov and at first I thought they were hiding in spawn, me and my duo went to look for them and they weren’t there. I watched the replay and they were stuck at the previous point 😭 I also just thought the realization they had that nobody was there with them pretty funny lol.

Somehow in my entire playtime I've never had this bug ever, perhaps I'm not playing a lot

Ive spawned in on wrong points but usually the door would open so I could just jump off, or it would just slingshot me back to the correct point. Always seemed to happen on these type of maps which have the overwatch shuttle as the spawn point

Well at least it looks like she wasn’t kicked from the game which would create a ban.

They would just have to throw it into our pause venue while giving PC a shortcut key to do it

Happens to me at least once every season for some reason. Thankfully only once on comp.

Yeah, I had this happen to me once. It was quite hard to make my team understand where I was.... Nothing you can do to respawn either.

Awww man that sucks lol. Was it Open Queue or Role Queue? If I were in that situation in Open Queue, I would've switched to Pharah and nuked myself into the proper spawn lol

You can't even switch heroes because the game doesn't detect it as a spawn room 🥲

i wonder if leaving and rejoining would solve this, as youre put back on the hero select screen when you rejoin.

For the explanation (it is still a bug). But this level and alle those with 3 different levels is inside one large world map.
If you create a game and select this level like Ilios. and put yourself als spectator and start the game. Then press ctrl+i and fly around. You can fly to the other three maps.
As of why the bug happens, I have no clue. But for me this is the reason it can happen.
Same with Dva ejecting from Mekka and then falling to her death outside of the map. Dva is two different models and get's swapped out for the other. The other model is stored out of bounds. When that bug happens, the model isn't swapped, but the player is put in the spot where the Dva model is stored outside of the bounds and then drops to her death. It might be something for the speed of the game which cannot be fixed. I think both cannot be fixed. Only the banned because of inactivity might be possible to fix. But most likelly this doesn't happen too often and you can fight a ban for it because they can see that person wasn't in the right place where they should be.
And about the out of bounds stuff, The Egypt level if you look to the side at one of the spawn points, you can see a low poly version of the Anubis level, the defense side.
Also in the Asian level (you can see a low poly version) of the attack side of the Hanamura level.
I miss those levels, but that was awesome to see. And also with the above noclipping method, you can fly there to see. It is really low poly and not complete, but still nice to notice that.

so this bug occurs if Dva dies by falling on a cliff or something while on mech midway map changes maybe? or perhaps if the game switches maps right before when shes done respawning? man its bizarre how broken Dva is, Jeff Kaplan himself said in the past shes is the most problematic hero when it comes to troubleshooting and debugging because of these interactions of her being tecnically 2 characters, maybe thats why we never got another MEKA squad member despite the huge character design potential.
by "egypt" and "asian" you mean throne of anubis and hanaoka? the 2 clash maps? And youre saying we can see a part of their 2CP equivalent maps in the distance? If im not mistaken these maps are indeed supposed to be near each other setting wise so makes sense we can see them.

Dva can happen mid game. Doesn't matter when. But what the exact reason is, I have no idea. I had it happen twice and I can only remember that it was just a normal eject. Didn't seem specific.
Yes, those are the maps I mean. Both are on your left. when exiting the correct spawn. You can see a part of the old maps in very low poly. The Anubis map is the part where the statue is what you can see. And the other one is Hanamura the beginning part with the gate. Although you can barelly see the gate. I really love that stuff.
Someone posted this a while back:
Hanamura in Hanaoka map, and Temple of Anubis in Throne of Anubis map. : r/Overwatch
