Played Wraith on Ironworks. 1 Survivor dead, 2 Gens to go, I hooked David for the third time. Leon wanted to bodyblock/flashbang, did not work and went down as well.

The game was basically over, I would have hooked Leon (third time as well) and would see if I can catch Dwight or if he gets the Hatch.

Wanted to break a Pallet first and got stuck in the Pallet-Break animation. So I DCed (could have also waited it out for my points, but it is whatever) and in the Postgame Screen David counted as Escaped (and I am pretty sure his Sacrifice Animation was completed).

I dont really believe that they(David) were hacking, but it is quite convenient and I would have become pretty unlucky. Was also not my internet either, everything worked fine and I was able to write in the Postgame-Chat (which shows that I did not get disconnected ingame).


Unfortunate at least...

    Don't really see why David would hack for kills to count as survives . You'd hack to win.


    There is an increasing issue with killers getting animation locked. Probably that.

    I don't know what causes it but I have seen a killer dc and the dead survivor count as escaped.

    I really dont know, as I said, I dont believe that they were hacking, but it was strange that it happened exactly at this moment.

    But if it happened to other players that they got stuck in animation, this might be it.

    It happened to me a few weeks ago (as Wraith again) when I tried to pick up a Survivor, I got stuck in animation. And the Survivor said that their game was super-laggy at this point, so it was probably the reason why it happened back then.

    But this time it was only me trying to break a Pallet. But if it is a known issue, just unfortunate.

    I dont really know. Maybe the game counted me as DCed once I got stuck. I was still able to write in Postgame-Chat, which means I did not actually DC or crash. And if I would have stayed in the game, I would have probably seen that Gens are done or something like that, because it was only me who was stuck.

    That's what I think. I think after you got stuck the game kinda assumed you dc'ed or something lol

    There are a couple of possibilities.

    The survivor is still alive until the animation is completed. If the killer dc's in that window, the sacrifice isn't concluded and the game counts it as a default escape. This is normal.

    The other is that the game just simply goes bananas when dc's happen, either killer or survivor, and it just messes up the actual results. I've seen that as well. It used to be more common back in the days, when, for example, you randomly got counted as killed when sacrificed and vice versa. And that often without even dc'ing.

    If you haven’t noticed, hook stages have been totally messed up as of late. Most commonly, survivors will be treated as being on death hook despite it only being their second hook and never having gone to the struggle phase. This cost a teammate of my SWF his own life yesterday when I unexpectedly died due to this bug in the end game. Surprised it hasn’t been hot fixed yet.
