Doctor/Calm Spirit Interaction Bug-Patch 4.5.2

Since patch 4.5.2 (at least), there has been a bug between the interactions of Doctor and Calm Spirit.

Despite Calm Spirit negating the screaming from his ability, the Doctor still receives visual indicator of where the survivor is/was. The ability states:

...

Madness I:

  • Causes Survivors to "scream once, revealing their location to The Doctor."

Thus, if the survivor doesn't scream, their location should NOT be revealed.

Platform: I experienced this in Ranked on PC, however tested/validated in cross-play between PC and Nintendo Switch


Steps to Reproduce:

1) make custom game with survivor with calm spirit vs Doctor

2) Ensure no line of sight between doctor and survivor, but keep them within range of both abilities

3) use doctors abilities


Consistency: Not sure if this only effects madness tier 1 or other levels. Additionally, I am uncertain if it is only Static Blast and not Shock Therapy, or if both abilities trigger this bug, but one is more consistent than the other.


Please fix this!

    Seems like new bugs with Calm Spirit keep coming up. Hope this is fixed soon.

    Agreed! First the Calm Spirit bug where the survivor would scream/visual indicator when they'd step into a Trapper's bear trap. Thankfully, they fixed that in 4.5.2. But now this. Hope it gets fixed soon!

    I think something screwed him up in this patch. When playing against Survivors without Calm Spirit, sometimes I'll hear the scream but not get the visual notification.
