PC - Dead Hard does not work against Victor's pounce

Example

Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play as survivor in public match with dead hard against the Twins

Step 3 : Attempt to dodge Victor's pounce with Dead Hard

Step 4 : Notice that you always end up exhausted on the ground no matter how you try to use Dead Hard

  • Happens with any Survivor, the ones in particular I've had this happen to me on are Claudette, David, and Elodie.
  • Happens with any set of perks, maps, and add-ons.
  • Happens every time you try to use Dead Hard against Victor

    This is a known bug. The have discussed it on the live stream. They'll try and fix it on the next mid chapter update. The reason why dead hard isn't working any more is because they changed the hit validation to work from the survivor side to the killer side and since dead hard is still sort of validated from the survivor side you end up hit and exausted cause the servers lag a bit and validate a succesful hit on the killer side. They said that since dead hard is one of the first perks ever included in dbd it's code is tangled in the game core which is hard to fix.
