Thumbs down New Player List & Black screen after death in LRS

After being OUT, I did not get to see the rest of the game.
Now after I was dead, I was welcomed by black screen, where I could not see remaining time, nor YOU ARE OUT spectator mode. I could see only chat and playerlist. So other players were fighting, and I was just staring at black screen. Waiting for them to finish the game, meanwhile carefully reading chat to see if the timelimit is not running out so I can reset it. When I tried to Spectate (From DEAD to spectate) I got an error that I am already spectating, because I am out. And when I tried to spectate off I also got that error that I cannot stop spectating because I am out.
[22:06:42] >> Error: You cannot stop spectating when you are out!
Funny is that I wasn't even spectating basically... because my screen was black.
There was nothing to be seen. And I recall that it was possible to start Spectator mode, while being out! Basically if you decided that you do not wanna play the next game you spectated ON while being OUT - To basically opt out of the game beforehand. Now you have to wait for the next map to load for you to be able to spectate again?

WARNING! Notice about the screenshots: The screenshots have been edited, to remove either CHAT, or IPs, so if you see weird stuff at the area where IPs should be, or bottom missing of one of the screenshots, it has been removed to protect personal information, or rude comments.
I will also attach a short PLAYLOG to let you understand how the game progressed. The IPs from the playlog were hidden.

Black screen is shown in this screenshot. This is where I got roasted (Clank[NC] has 0 lives and is OUT) Entire time I see only black, the playerlist and chat. As you can see while I had white name, in playerlist I was correctly given red name and a skull symbol, unlike with CryXia who's name was red from the start

For easier troubleshooting I am also attaching a playlog to let you see who was OUT and who won. It contains 6 games. First (ODJAKZIVAPHOTO2.j2l) is not basically counted, because it was a level before we cycled to the main game. I really hope I was able to remove all the IPs because they are shown too many times.

- I replicated the infinite black screen bug. It happens when the host is out in LRS, clients get to spectate as normal.
- @Agent Clank: When you were hosting this LRS party, were you hosting with /latestversiononly on and /plusonly on and using the latest plus? Are any mutators enabled?

^The above two posts were copied from replies to an unrelated thread where they were off topic. I let Clank know they were off topic but got no response for a week, so I took action to split them into their own thread, using the same logic as here.

This may be related to one of the points made in this thread.
