Why is the spectator pawn being spawned instead of the default pawn?

just went through this myself, after about an hr of angry button smashing i realized that somehow it got set to simulate. check active play mode and make sure its not on simulate

Hey were can I uncheck the box from simulate??

![alt text][1]I made various lighting changes to my map, then suddenly when I pressed play, the spectator pawn was being spawned instead of the default pawn (dummy). All my original settings of different players being spawned via widget menu were broken. Please help!
