HACKING/BUG? Unable to down, blinded constantly

Boot the game

In-game, picking up a survivor, standing still, player unhooked
I was playing Twins, when I for some reason, whenever I picked a survivor up, got chain blinded. I thought this was a bit strange, and thought how that happened since no other survivors seemed to be close to me at all. I try to pick up multiple times, get chain blinded. I go back to someone getting unhooked, get chain blinded.. then this person simply stands by the hook, and I am unable to down them until they moved after about 5 minutes. They go down, they are downed and hatch spawns 1 centimeter away from them.
