    That sounds like the plugin works. All it does is prevent clients from being sent back to the lobby (unless they vote for it). You’re supposed to use another plugin that switches to another campaign when that black screen shows up.

    Yes but also pressing space to vote skip doesn't work, no errors in log.

    Can you elaborate further on what you mean by "vote skip doesn't work"? What happens when everyone skips the credits? Do you just get a black screen after skipping?

    Exacly, but it blocks also the SPACE BAR, if you press it it just does nothing to vote, and after ending of credits, you just get a blank screen and you need to exit to main menu

    Which plugin are you using to automatically switch to the next campaign?

    I have none of that.

    The title is misleading to be honest. It makes people think there's something wrong or glitchy with the "Return To Lobby" feature. Perhaps rename it to something more fitting like "Block Return To Lobby"?

    If all u are reading is the title...the whole purpose this was made was to fix an issue where return to lobby fires before an automatic campaign switcher can change maps, which is described in the post. I do understand some people who do not speak english can misinterpret what this does, google translate can help with that. Not trying to be rude, but most coders know that people who do not fully understand dont read things properly. Changing the title will hardly fix that issue, however for readabilities sake I will add in the title, (for campaign switch plugins only). Block Return To Lobby might make people think this blocks lobby votes as well.

    There lies your problem. This plugin (as the new thread title says) is only useful if you’re using a campaign switcher plugin. When you press spacebar to skip the credits, that’s not the same as “voting to return to lobby”. That means you are just skipping the waiting process. Think of the black screen as the server’s way of saying “Well we’re not allowed to return to the lobby, so now what do we do?” And that’s where your campaign switcher is supposed to come in. If you’re not using one, then this plugin is practically useless to you.
