Dead Hard not working?

So I started running dead hard just to see how it pairs with second wind, but I had a problem with it. During the starting sprint, if I get hit I still go down, but I still get hit with the exhaustion effect, since exhaustion goes through, why am I still getting downed when I should be invincible.

    Been that way for awhile now my friend!

    Works about 50% of the time.

    I think the problem is (at least on XBox) that you should be able to use activate it after the killer has already started to swing or is about to hit you. However, you cannot. You need to activate it, basically, at the same time the killer starts to swing. They need to change that. Idk if its a latency issue or something more.

    I also feel as though you should be able to use it whether you are injured or not.

    Basically this. To make DH work, you've got to time it right as the killer is about to swing, so it's a guessing game. And if your ping is high, or lag enters the arena, then it can be hard if not impossible to make that judgement call.

    I've used it a couple of times over the last few days with success, so nothing unusually wrong with it seems to be going on.

    If it says I'm exhausted, it should ignore the hit. What's the point of showing it if nothing happens aside from you going down.

    Its just latency jank + dedicated servers.
