    Same in Switch and I have seen a PC streamer having the same issue.

    I probably have multiple clips of this happening and me subsequently raging about how I can be pressing space before I even hear the killer wind up the swing and still get hit by it. If I find one of them that's not too angy I'll add it here, but it DEFINITELY feels like in the past couple months in particular, pallets have been much less responsive. Tangent, I still don't understand how I can stun a killer and still get hit. But I digress. It is VERY regular that you'll run through a pallet and mash the button and it simply won't even do a stun exchange. It doesn't go down at all.

    Had this happen with me several times. I am right at the pallet and no prompt appears to drop it, even though it should. By the time i move around for the game to understand that i am near a pallet, the killer has either hit me, or ran through it. Had this happen today. Ran to a pallet, pressed the button… nothing happened. Pressed it again and THEN, i pulled the pallet down. The killer had already ran through the pallet location by that time avoiding it completely. They really need to adjust the games recognition of how far the pallet is from the player and when the player can pull the pallet. This has been going on for months. Not that noticeable on some maps, but very noticeable on others.

    this has been happening to me as well. i’ll have the prompt available to me but won’t be able to drop it no matter how much i’m mashing the button. there will also he instances where my survivor will literally start the pallet-dropping animation (the “vacuuming”) only for it to be randomly cancelled.
