Madness visual effects when facing doctor

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:
When facing the Doctor, the visual effects have changed when you have madness.
This was not mentioned in patch notes and seems to be reverted to a way similarly to how it was before it got adjusted for accessibility reasons.
The static now takes up more of the screen and it pulsates/ flickers very often. This causes issues for those who have seizures, are photosensitive, or prone to migraines. I personally cannot face the Doctor anymore and have to DC on sight to avoid getting sick and I know this happens to a decent amount of others as well.

PLATFORM: any platform

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

face the doctor and get madness

VIDEO: here's a clip of it happening on my friend's stream - pay attention to the visual effects when in madness

PLAYER LOGS:

Sorry I'm not sure what to put here but this happens any time you face a doctor and gain madness as a survivor

    I want to say, on Twitter the official Dead By Daylight account said this issue was resolved with the hotfix that went out yesterday. Unfortunately I can confirm that this is NOT fixed and multiple people have sent me clips of this bug affecting them still after the update.

    Hi, I was told via twitter to post on here again with logs of it!

    The last 4 matches are doctor matches to show logs of the bug from the survivor POV.

    This bug occurs every single match against Doctor.

    This issue is a really bad accessibility problem. I would love to see this solved sooner rather than later! I've seen this bug happen in-game as well and it's very consistent.

    Thanks for reporting @Chey !

    Issues with accessibility like this that have gotten worse over time are extremely disappointing to see. Hope they fix this soon because in it's current state it's unplayable for some people.

    No problem! Do you think you need more? It happens every single match VS doctor. I had to DC on sight 2x today to avoid getting sick :(
    I would love to provide anything to help further assist getting this bug resolved if I can help!

    thank you for flagging this @Chey ! i saw you post about this on twitter and i also suffer from migraines, which are induced by this doctor static bug. really hoping it is addressed fairly quickly to avoid being penalised for DCing or having to give up quickly. i feel until accessibility issues like this are fixed, the "go next" prevention really needs to be reviewed.
