Research direction

Start by reproducing the icon jump at match start; the issue does not name files, tests, or a specific mode, and still needs a clip and lobby type. Once reproduced, trace where player icons are positioned during the transition into a match. Done when both icons stay in their intended positions as the match begins.

Description

Difficulty: Easy

What

Right before a match starts, the two players' icons jump to an odd spot on the screen for a moment before the match begins.

Still needed: a short clip showing the jump, and which mode or lobby type it happens in.

Why

It looks broken right at the start of every match, which is the moment players are paying most attention.

Impact

  • A clean, polished start to every match.
  • One less "is the game bugged?" moment for new players.

If we don't

Every match starts with a visual glitch, which makes the mod feel less finished than it is.
