The flashlight exploit issue, and my suggestion to fix it
So many steam forum threads about an exploit that is produced using the flashlight will make every survivor dc and end the game, this is due to survivors macroing the flaslight clicks.
Anyways won't get into details about it, but my easy fix solution suggestion to avoid this is to make delay between the times survivors are able to use flashlight, make 2-3 secs half a sec or 1 sec delay between each use will fix the problem. Since flashlight are made to save players or used in different ways, and not for trolling purposes, this is the ultimate fix, it won't hurt survivors, but sure will fix the unfair exploit/glitch that it can produce.

I think you mean IMPROVE flashlights, and if a short delay will improve them, then I am all for it. 😊
Anyway as I said in another thread I expect to see an increase in flashlights after the DS adjustment.
making a delay of 2-3 secs will disable the exploit completely, cause of right now the use/clicks of flashlights are insta reset and can be clicked infinitely.

Exactly, I wouldn't want the removal of flashlight clicks or tbags and this is not because I use them on killers. It is a great feeling to tbag one of my survivor friends when a nurse uses mori.
Killers should give up caring about tbags or flashlight clickings. I play killer and those things don't bother me at all.

As long as you die i could careless how the rest of the game goes tbh.

Pretty sure op is referring to the exploit where the game assumes you used and unused your flashlight 1000 times in 1 second, crashing the game to the killer

If i your the obsession if i kill you then i can just go about the rest of the game as normal. As long as you die i could careless how the rest of the game goes tbh.

And what about a delay about 0.2 sec? It won't trigger the exploit and you can still click.1

The devs fixed it already

it isn't fixed, one of the devs said they aren't familiar with what software that does it, like they didn't even hear about macroing or mouse clickers as simple software that does similar thing?

2-3 seconds is a bit excessive, but any CD would be good. Even half a second.

Yeah and she wrote
"just an update that we just got the fix and will be ready to be tested as soon as we can.
We'll give you more info when it is done.Thanks !"
I think she just needs to know what other software can do this , but they got the fix in which the software in question caused the issue in the first place

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvIPRbcYqKITru just posted a game where someone did this to him. Looks like it's pretty easy to do and very game breaking. Devs should get on this ASAP.
As far as limiting the clicks, I would say limit it only to a point where a human can just barely do it as fast as possible if they like, treat it like that Shy Guy wind-up game from Mario Party. 1 second is way WAY too long. More like, 10 frames, which is probably about the realm of human possibility.
People using their finger should be allowed to click as fast as they want. It's only when it gets this stupid that they need a limit to begin with.
