Is there a hatch bug/update I missed or did I just have super bad luck today.

I had three games today where the survivors seemed to know where the hatch was before it spawned and I'm just curious if survivor is able to find hatch before it's active or if I just had some massive bad luck today. I didn't see anything in the bug section and I'm assuming it was bad luck but I still want to ask in case I missed a bug or update or something.

First match, hooked the 3rd survivor on death hook and started chasing the last as they were right nearby hiding. Instead of going to a nearby pallet they started to run into the middle of nowhere and the hatch spawned in front of them where they hopped in. I went from thinking, "You're super dead Meg to, wow nice call!" in all of three seconds.

Second match, I hooked the 3rd survivor on death hook and saw the other on BBQ walking in a circle and then looking at the ground. As I get to them and hit them once, they stay still and the hatch spawns right on top of them and they bolt without missing a beat.

Third match I killed two people and the other two made me chuckle (They sat crouched together playing peek-a-boo in a window) so I was going to let them go. One chose to die instead of finishing the gens as there were still four left and the other ran next to me and stared at the ground and the hatch popped in right there. She looked back at me for a sec then looked at the hatch and left.

I'm on PS4 (crossplay off) so I'm assuming the survivors just got lucky but I wanna make sure I didn't miss a hatch bug/update somewhere.

Edit: I had two other matches today as well with hatch shenanigans but they were a bit more obvious with the good luck. I had a Kate (I think?) hiding behind a tree where I found her and hit her as hatch was about to spawn. She gave up but when she heard the hatch she ran to it as it had spawned right nearby.

I also had a Jane where I was letting her go and she ran up to me as the hatch spawned next to me. She stopped, looked at me and then left.

    I don't know if it means anything either but I've noticed hatch spawning next to me or my friend if we're the last survivor. I just assumed it was luck.

    I noticed this to. Survivors seem to know the hatch location ahead of time. A survivor was even tbagging and i saw them as the hatch was spawning. So i went to kill them thinking "well if they aren't gonna go look for it" just to see it spawn at their feet. I don't know if its a dumb coincidence or something else.

    Luck is a thing.

    And so are hacks.

    There are offerings that allows higher chance for spawning the hatch in a shack or main building

    i guess hacking, but i also got lucky sometimes. other times, neither the killer nor i found the hatch although we searched together
