Is there a bug or something? I'm really TIRED of getting a hit because I'm running and it vaults slowly like it doesn't care I'm running

is this a new bug?

    No it is an intended change. This is from the Patch notes:
    "Adjusted the speed thresholds to hit a running vault (fast vault). They should now be more consistent. To hit a running vault, make sure to run straight at the window with at least 2.5 meters of clearance."

    Yeah it's weird in some cases for me either.
    I completely understand, killers should be buffed, but running straight 2,5 seconds in a line is too ######### up.

    You know 2.5 meters ain't 2.5 seconds right?

    It's annoying as hell ain't it? Think I'll take a break from the game once I've done the Halloween event stuff when it drops, new patch makes playing Survivor feel too tedious for my liking.

    Just need to adjust how you run jungle gyms, some times taking a hit for the momentum to get somewhere else can extend the chase longer than going for the "hope I make it" vault.

    I'm 100% into killer buffs, I really think survivor is the 'easy' mode on this game

    but I think is not the way.

    Remove pallet loop with bad collisions.

    but this is just making unexpected vaults making some chases frustating, I don't like this because seems now quite random because I've been running for like 10 seconds and still I've made a slow vault, if they fix this to work fine I may change my opinion, now I think this is something random and undesirable.

    @nemeios if in the past you were getting fast vaults from an angle, that was a bug, as you never should have gotten them. There were cases when someone would hit a window or pallet at 90 degrees and they would get a medium vault. This fix was designed to fix both issues, and it appears that it has.

    Oh, seems I get used to that bug because yes, I'm speaking abot 90 degress windows, so now some windows you can't do a fast vault (because there is no way to run on straight line for 2.5 meters)

    well, time to get used to this.

    Thanks for the clear explanation

    You can hide though. Much better than looping. Not always possible, I know, but more reliable.
    I hope the next chapter comes with some creative stealth perks.

    Nah, survivor is fine.
    Just the window vaults are weird.

    You still don't have to fear any killer and can gen rush the ######### outta the killer.

    I read a Reddit post by one of developers, as they responded to some one who mentioned they encountered this new Slo-Mo vaulting glitch that can occur. The developer asked for the Perks, Add-Ons and items of the players. They confirmed that there is a bug when it comes to using SC and a Med-Kit that can cause Slo-Mo.

    I don't remember what Reddit thread it was in, but I read it like yesterday. Sorry I don't have it.

    If this is not what you are talking about then I dunno.

    Edit: Ninja'd by a Dev. Rip.

    You run a lot faster than 1 m/s

    I am not defending the adjustment, it's just strange to me even when running straight for a time, I still sometimes don't get the fast vault.
    It's better than before for sure, but a little bit too restricting at least, you cannot really ######### over the killer with waiting at the shack window.

    I haven't had too much trouble. I was fast vaulting through Lery's last night like a boss.

    But now you have to run straight for a short time in order to the fast vault.
    You just wont be able to 360 into a fast vault now which was possible with the system before in order to get fast vaults at those special infinite positions.
