PS4 (most likely all platforms) - DS breaks the game for the Survivor activating the perk
I've seen many reports of this issue on the forums as of the most recent patch. But I thought I would give a comprehensive explanation of what triggers the bug and what fixes it in game.
Step 1: Equip DS
Step 2: When you are first unhooked by a Survivor (or unhook yourself) any action you perform or is performed on you will trigger the bug to be primed.
Step 3: Hit the DS skill check successfully and you will become bugged out. From your perspective, and the perspective of all other Survivors, you will float like you are being carried. You can no longer perform vaults of any kind, or hit wriggle skill checks when being carried by the Killer. You can however still drop pallets, use items, open exit gates, repair generators, heal yourself (and maybe other teammates), maybe you can cleanse and bless totems too, untested as of yet. The progression bar for all actions is no longer visible either.
Frequency of the issue: Inconsistent. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, you need to kill switch DS for the time being.
How to fix the game breaking issue caused by the bug: When the above steps have been followed and you find yourself experiencing these issues the only way to fix this bug in-game is to grasp escape from the Killer. Whether that be wriggling off naturally (would be impossible since this bug makes it so you can no longer hit wriggle skill checks) or be Flashlight/Flashbang saved, or pallet stun rescued.
