auto-aim is definitely getting worse
ugh. I just had a game where I had a clean hit on a survivor, but auto-aim inexplicably spun me around 120 degrees so I hit a palette instead. This is clearly getting worse, and honestly must be bugged if the auto-aim is prioritizing a palette as a normal attack target over a survivor.

I wonder if the graphical upgrades to maps have added so much decoration that it's confusing the collision system and causing it. I've seen auto-aim yoink people around corners to hit walls instead of survivors right in front of them, it definitely seems like it's worse.

Somehow I hit the pallet instead of hitting her...

Is this happening on PC too? I thought it was exclusive to console, but I'm starting to see it get more complaints which is good because it means it'll get fixed quicker

I would just like it to be a toggle-able option (Default on). I know when I was new, it had some merit, but now it near exclusively screws me over.

toxic killer swing at innocent Survivor and get Instant Karma. jk

The devs have repeatedly stated that it's "only cosmetic" but like..it's clearly not. I genuinely don't care about visual alignment,if a hit is about to happen,have it happen even if it looks a bit weird. It's certainly less jarring than my cane suddenly aiming at something completely different from the survivor I'm CLEARLY going to hit.

Above is the quote where a dev said it can steal hits.....

Yeah, I had a game when auto-aim got my hit stolen when the survivor I tried to attack was standing right in front of me (with a pallet behind him). That was. so frustrating I'm barely playing DbD now.

why does this even exist

I have the impression as well that those misses due to "aim dressing" increased with the mid chapter. I'm on PC as well, so it's not a console only issue (might be worse on console, now).
It esp. happens more often during 360s, in my experience. Feels really bad to get your hits robbed multiple times in one game.

I put this in the suggestions about a week ago. Auto-aim has become noticeably worse since the recent patch. I had one trial yesterday where I swung at a survivor and actually went backwards to hit the corner of a wall!
What's happened to actually cause this, I don't know. There's nothing clear in the patch notes which links to this. However, this is important enough to be fixed soon.

its time to disable this feature. I've noticed I've been getting screwed out of hits more often since the recent update.

The aim dressing is supposed to make all killer regular hits look like they actually connected when hit validated. In theory.
So basically the shorter killers like Legion's or Freddy's hits looked very much like they missed by a few steps in the survs pov, and the Aim Dressing is supposed to cover that up. Again, in theory.
In reality most of my Piggy's blades have gotten all banged up from hitting trees, rocks, walls, pallets, thin air, anything else but a surv due to it. Happens most often to me in tight spaces while the surv is butt-wiggling wildly.

Don't worry, by the year of our Lord 2032, BHVR will finally put their ego aside and give us the option to disable this beloved feature that everyone has totally been asking for.

Survivors are 100% learning to game this garbage. Yesterday I had a survivor who would run at an angle away from me, and then when they saw my attack animation start they would zig-zag in the other direction, and even though I would turn in mid-animation to hit them, auto-aim would snap me in the direction they would've been if they hadn't zig-zagged. He did this like three times in a row in the same chase, and there was nothing I could do about it.
I'm also noticing it when I play as survivor; I TOTALLY suck as survivor, but I've actually been able to dodge some attacks by changing direction as the killer attacks, which I've never been able to pull off before. And if you think I'm just finally getting good then you've never seen me try to play survivor. 😂
