We are investigating an issue in the game that causes strobing/flashing lights, and are focused on fixing it as soon as possible. Some players may be impacted by this issue and experience discomfort from it, so we recommend taking proper precautions.

And until we fix this issue, we recommend that players with photosensitivity, or who have an epileptic condition or have had seizures of any kind consult their physician before playing.

Decisive Strike stun duration (~2 second stuns).

Options

Patch 4.2.0, when stunned with Decisive Strike, Huntress, Spirit, Pig and probably some other killers (haven't tested the bug on all of them) get stunned for ~2 seconds instead of 5.

This bug did not occur while I was playing Hillbilly.

    Same happened to me with The Pig and The Spirit. Seems like it's working fine against The Nurse as well.

    Happened to me as both killer and survivor. As killer it was with Bubba. I got hit with DS and was almost immediately able to hit them after. As survivor it was against a pig.

    Don't worry, it's a bug that disadvantages survivors and their crutches, it will be fixed by tomorrow.

    Footage of the bug. Note how there's no debuff icon for the DS stun in the bottom right like there normally would be.

    same thing happens to me all the time since new update (vs Spirit, Huntress, Myers, Wraith, Freddy, Bubba, Pig...). DS is unplayable like this.

    @ v4lor and @Trap David: did you make a report on that so that the devs can watch it?

    good joke. As usual they did nothing and its over a week later now. Such stuff shouldn't happen in the first place and if it does happen it should be fixed as soon as possible.


    Dont get me wrong. The new updated graphics do look really great but regarding the coding of gamefunctions it has been always "a pretty good job so far".

    That meme is there for a reason. If such gamechanging bugs do appear in other competitive games like LoL or valorant they are fixed within hours. But not in DbD and aslong the major of people still do spent their money on skins etc. nothing will change there sadly....
