Bug #16959

Enemy Spawn Limit Bug in Max Difficulty

Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	d_yellowidsi on October 23, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	RC:EA:02.02.00 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Max Difficulty round: ThreatLevel 5, AssaultPace Reckless, Length 5/6 and Complexity 2/3 (Bonus Point's if chosen: CorespawnSplit or DoubleHealth HalfSpeed)
2. Play with a Group of 4 Reclaimers
3. Try moving forwards through the Tunnels whenever a Wave spawns
4. Pick Spawn-Increases of: Voidkin, Edgestalkers or Scorchers
5. Be on the lookout for Games where these Enemies + Dominators Spawn naturally
6. Start an Event, or start the Exit Elevator, and look out for Reduced/Failed Spawns (Particles will show next to Rifts (Failed Enemy) or on the Ground (Failed ReaperWorm))

Explanation

The Game is plagued with a Bug, where it Stumbles over the Enemy Limit CONSTANTLY.
I've played a Lot of "MAX Difficulty"-Lobbies and Enemies fail to spawn every single round. I constantly see Particles that indicate that an Enemy was supposed to Spawn in, but couldn't.

This happends, form my Experience, cuz there're too many Enemies that got left behind in the Previous Caves. Enemies like: Voidkin, Edgestalkers and Dominators, are Guarenteed to get stuck when moving towards the Exit Elevator. (I even suspect common Enemies like: Creeper, Bruiser and Scorchers, tend to get Stuck) These Enemies cannot move through: Coreresin, Certain Structures and Natural Decor. Once "Out-Of-Combat" these Enemies will do nothing but keep the Enemy-Limit full at all Times. This result in a constant loop of Enemies: Trying to Spawn in > Failing to Spawn in > Getting put into the Enemy-Que > Trying to Spawn in > Getting put...

This Bug also happends when a Triple wave Spawns or an Event is Activated during a Wave.
It Blocks not only Common and Disrupive Enemies, but also ReaperWorms.
I've seen Players use the PlatformGun in order to Guarantee an Overflow of the enemy-Limit.

This RUINS the Pace of the Game, and it'll turn every single round into an Waiting-Simulator.
I've submitted Video's and my Complains before in Discord.
Out of Frustration I've downloaded an Enemy-Counter, in order to gather more info. (Shouldn't affect Gameplay in any way, shape or form)
Hopefully this'll be seen as HIGH PRIORITY, as it ruins Hight-Level Matches.
