PC - Wiretap bug, wiretap not deactivating

Description:

I was on Torment creek near the end of a match. I had just hooked a survivor on one side of the map and left towards a generator that had been blocked by grim embrace. When I arrived at the generator it was regressing, and the nearby survivor looped me in the shack next to the gen while being able to see my aura with wiretap, despite the generator regressing at the time.

I believe that to be a bug, it looked like my generator based perks didn't deactivate the 'Wiretap' the survivor applied to the generator. If that wasn't the issue then I assume it was that the survivor applied the Wiretap just before I arrived at the shack and the Wiretap was working, even though the generator was regressing. Which means they were able to apply the Wiretap without repairing the generator enough to stop it from regressing, which i assume isn't intended functionality.

What to do:

Step 1 : Equip Pain Resonance and Dead mans switch and Grim Embrace and Corrupt intervention

Step 2 : Injure 2 survivors

Step 3 : Have one survivor repair a generator to about half way and apply 'Wiretap' to that generator

Step 4 : Hook a different survivor and cause the generator to be affected by Pain Resonance, Dead Mand Switch, Grim Embrace.

Step 5: Have the survivor stay near the affected generator, not touching it. OR / Have them 'Tap' the generator to apply a 'Wiretap' AFTER it has been affected by the killers generator based perks above ^

Step 6 : Observe as the survivor nearby the affected generator will still be able to see your aura using 'Wiretap' despite the generator still being in the regressing state.

Additional information

  • Character played: The Pig
  • Perks played: Corrupt Intervention, Dead Mans Switch, Pain Resonance, Grim Embrace

Wiretap is only removed from a generator if the timer goes down, or if the killer kicks the gen. Regression perks themselves do not remove the effects of Wiretap or Blastmine.
