Hi!
You must be familiar with the situation when in survival with 1 life wads (mainly in Adventure Challenges), you can't die because there are no monsters at specific parts or you can fall off but the floor teleports you back etc. Or for example you wanna skip a map because you want another type of map or there are monsters around but you should wait a lot of time for them to find you.
Up until now I have been able to switch back to spectator mode after several minutes from the map start, but now I get this message:
Quote: | You cannot invoke the Spectate command any further during the current game. The initial join period has passed. |
And so what? If the join period has passed and I was allowed to go back to spectator mode, I couldn't rejoin without life/lives anyway, so this is a mere impeding of the players.
If this function was introduced because of another game type, then would it be a viable solution if this function checked what is the current game type when the spectate command is invoked? |

In this case you can use the reconnect command |

That doesn't answer the question why has it been changed?
Is this about adding a new feature by taking another one away unintentionally? |

Not at all.
The spectate command has been added recently and has not replaced any existing command. |

This has been marked as fixed in a subsequent version. |
