Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Pallet delays

I don'I don't know if it's my internet or did something change? I'll be ready to stun the killer with a pallet. Then when I push the button nothing happens. The killer gets me. It seems like the only time it works is when the killer is to far away to stun. I play on a switch. I'm not for sure what i'm doing wrong? Or is this something new with the game?Because it used to work all the time.

    I have noticed this too a lot lately. Like an imposed delay on the "Drop Pallet" action specifically.
    Also, not directly related, but close: Skillchecks are highly inconsistent when it comes to timing, where they will sometimes have a small delay, and other times, they are instantaneous.

    I've had a ton of trouble with this, particularly in the last few weeks. I've also had a weird hit validation issue, where I get a hit, usually at a pallet drop, they make the pain sound, but they don't get injured/go down. It's happened to me on several different killers too. Happened just last session with Wekser.

    I think its some server problem because i get this especialy in 2v8 where are some actions delayed and biggest one is pallet drop action, it doesnt matter if my ping is 26 or 100 if that server (the cause of the issue I think) has some delay Im suffering it even if I had best ping on the whole server and skillchecks are hit by it to so you need to prehit them if you want hit greats which is way riskier not to mention the increase of sudden lags around corners which is something Im hit by more often even with few fps droping or just one and good ping and it always happens when I need it most (sarcasm for those who dont get it).

    Glad it isn't just me, figured I'd come to the forums to vent after it had been happening a while and I just assumed it was my end but after speaking to other players I found that it wasn't, numerous times I've found dropping pallets hasn't worked at all (or occassionally puts me at the wrong side of the pallet for an unknown reason) and also trying to use head-on, the killer sometimes seems to be able to open the locker before I visually see them at the locker door so despite my use of head-on they appear to have already caught me.

    I have a fairly decent spec PC and 2Gb fibre (up and down) so unless I'm somehow being routed to the moon before the server then I doubt this is a PC/network related issue, it never used to be so bad but it feels like the complaints of "survivor sided" matches; made them add random failures/delays.
