Character frozen when initiating an M1 action

Platform: PC (Steam)

Steps to reproduce: Only happens when initiating an M1 actions, regardless of playing survivor or killer. So far, it's happened to me when I started cleansing a totem, repairing a generator, and hooking a survivor (details below)

Frequency: Random, infrequent, but happened around three times in one week. Note that I play about 10h/week

Description:

As killer I was about to hook a survivor and just when the status bar at the bottom appeared, my character froze in position, and the status bar was stuck at zero. I was unable to do anything but press ESC and leave the match. While frozen, I could still see the survivors running around my frozen character

As survivor I started cleansing a totem and as soon as my character crouched and the cleansing status bar appeared, my character froze with the status bar remaining at zero progress. I was still able to move the camera around. Similar to the killer example, I was able to pull up the ESC menu and leave the match to get back to the lobby.

In both instances, the internet connection problem/lag icon did not appear for me. When leaving the match, the match results would appear, however the background would be that of where my gameplay left off. Upon reaching the lobby, I would have a temporary matchmaking ban as expected, but otherwise the client would still run normally. In addition, one time as a survivor, I stayed stuck for about 5 minutes to see what would happen. Not a single generator was completed, nor did any survivor get hit. This makes me believe that I was disconnected from the match due to reasons not related to my internet connection.

    This somehow happened to me too, but when I was grabbing a downed survivor. My killer simply frozen. I couldn't do nothing, but I could see the survivors making actions in game.
