This does not happen in 3.1. What gives? The message duration also differs between the two. I think the longer duration in 3.2 looks better, but the flash is different and maybe distracting. Players also are force-respawned during this flash in some modes like CTF, though the force-respawn also happens in 3.1.

This topic should fix this issue:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commits/topic/default/level-timer-regression-fix [^]' Let me know if it works for you too, and that there's no other side effects. Quote from unknownna The message duration also differs between the two. Didn't these kinds of messages always had a five second duration (i.e. fully opaque for three seconds, then fading out for two seconds)? At least, I can't seem to notice a difference in the message duration between 3.1 and 3.2 when I wait for the timer to expire and see the message pop up.

At least, I can't seem to notice a difference in the message duration between 3.1 and 3.2 when I wait for the timer to expire and see the message pop up. Maybe, but if you start a game with the following: zandronum -host -file countdown_deathcount_02.wad +timelimit 0.1 +sv_suddendeath 0 +teamplay 1 +sv_maprotation 1 +addmap map01 +map map01 and then connect a client and join a team before the timelimit runs out, the "draw game" string fades back much faster in 3.1 compared to 3.2. I think it's a separate bug in 3.1 that got fixed in 3.2 somehow. On a side note, the string handling just seems to be broken in 3.1 or something, as I managed to get an all-gray message by using the following command and joining the game before the timelimit runs out: zandronum -file countdown_deathcount_02.wad +timelimit 0.1 +sv_suddendeath 0 +teamplay 1 +sv_maprotation 1 +addmap map01 +map map01 Quote from Kaminsky This topic should fix this issue:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commits/topic/default/level-timer-regression-fix [^]' Let me know if it works for you too, and that there's no other side effects. I went through most modes with 2 clients, one using a local connection and one using a ping of 160. Most things worked fine, but I found some issue in CTF. It's actually a regression from the recent "multi-team tie" message fixes. I'll make a separate report for it ASAP. * DM: OK * TeamDM: OK * Duel: OK * Terminator: OK * LMS: OK * TeamLMS: OK * Possession: OK * TeamPossession: OK * CTF: OK, but the final score message only displays the sub-text now * OneFlagCTF: OK * Skulltag: OK * Domination: OK * TeamGame: OK Since your fix took care of the issue here, I'll mark this as resolved. Thank you very much! I made a note of the auto-spawn behavior and will maybe make a separate report for it some other later time.

This issue is already marked as resolved. If you feel that is not the case, please reopen it and explain why.
