    I want to second this - but for PS4. There's definitely something going on with Sadako that crashes my game consistently.

    Last night I wanted to do my daily and hit 4 people with Sadako after Manifestation. I tried 4 times - and my game crashed 4 times, every time after starting a chase with a Survivor and either right before or shortly after I manifested and hit them (the console froze for a second, then DbD crashed to a blue "fatal error" screen before taking me back to the PS4 dashboard). Sadly I didn't take note of the error code but because my DC penalty was already at 15 minutes due to the previous crashes I didn't wanna repeat the process for the sake of reporting.

    After the third crash I wanted to test if Sadako was the issue. I played 3 games of Survivor, 3 Killer games as Doctor, 2 Killer games as Pyramid Head - zero issues, all trials played out normally until concluded. Then I played Sadako again - crash after starting a chase with the first Survivor I found.

    One more thing of note: This 100% did not happen during the Halloween event (when 6.3.2 was already out) when I played Sadako quite a bit because of her ability to rack up Deviousness and Brutality points relatively quickly, thus getting out a lot out of the recent Bloodhunt. Never had a single crash. Just noticed it last night when I played her for the first time after the event.


    Details:

    Platform: PS4 (Standard model)

    Killer: Sadako (bloody Prestige skin, all 3 pieces equipped)

    Build: Bamboozle, Corrupt Intervention, Deadlock, Pain Resonance (funny coincidence that 3 out of 4 of my perks are the same ones OP used) + "Reiko's Watch" & "Old Newspaper" add-ons (used during all affected games) + "Bloody Party Streamers" offering (used 3 out of 4 of the affected games)

    Maps: Family Residence, Treatment Theatre, Disturbed Ward, Midwich Elementary School
