Has anyone run into problems like this?

Basically after being killed on a server I try and fire to respawn - but the camera just stays on my smoking corpse.

Disconnecting and then re-entering the server is the only way to get back - even leaving the game and heading straight back to the lobby gets me there, but i can't connect...

Any ideas?

Are you on dial-up or broadband?

Which server?

750k broadband
TLT recruiting server (I'm a member)
Mekmatch
Win XP
MP3.02a
Connecting via router (ports opened)

Hrm, I'm stumped. I just connected to the server and I was able to respawn by firing...so it's working fine for me.

Hmmm... it works OK for me most of the time, but I've noticed I almost never respawn when I'm out of ammo, or have been in the game a while...
