You have to wait for the round to end.

that doesnt work. It literally wont let me spawn even at the end of the round, it wont let me chat. Ive played this before and I know how the end of the round spawning works. It either does that or pulls me back to menu telling me to run it with the launcher open which does absoluetly nothing. I'm running this from steam, from a manual installation because the launcher seems like nothing but trouble

Not sure is it related to your issue or not, but it's definitely a problem.
MBII Launcher is required to play (on Windows) and you can't run Movie Battles without it, period.
Absolute majority of servers has anti-cheat on, and the client part of anti-cheat is in Launcher, not in MBII itself.
If you actually run Launcher but still get that "Please start the game via launcher..." error, go here: Windows technical FAQ/troubleshooting guide and scroll to "The Graveyard".

No, your inability to research and understand things that were explained million times is nothing but trouble.
If your problem was "Please start the game via launcher..." stuff, you should mentioned it from the beginning, not try to sweep it under the carpet.
