Is Plague Vile and Corrupt purge bugged?

When i'm vomitting to the suvivors it definitely hits them but does nothing, is this a bug or what?

    Her Vomit ha an arc to its stream, how close were the survivors when you activated it?

    There are multiple points within the stream (that you can't see) that give you whichever vomit effect you're using. So there are parts of the stream that will do absolutely nothing. Just a basic example here and certainly not accurate to how it actually looks behind the scenes.

    So basically only the circles matter and the dashes are the parts that do nothing. Hope this makes sense.

    Dedicated servers don't help her out. I've had incidents where the entire stream went through the Survivor and did nothing to them.

    No, I know exactly what you're talking about. There's times I played her because I just bought her a little bit ago, and I puke on a survivor and they even grunt like they're being puked on, and they'll wave their arms around and all that. Yet, not infected.

    I'm almost certain that it's because of dedicated servers. There's no reason a survivor should be giving the reaction of being hit by puke and not get the effects of it. If that's what you're talking about, then I'm pretty sure it's a server thing.

    Yeah had that bug happen aswell and many others where I press down the button to puke yet its blocked for some reason or stuck constantly like my killer is grasping for air with nothing coming out. Or people not getting infected by healing the infected person or unhooking them. I mostly like using infected purge more than corrupted, I'm still fairly new but they cleansed like 10 times while I never used the corrupted pools hoping they will ran out of holy water yet nope. Bummed out they even made it like that...The plague does need a buff, or atleast corrupted fountains not cleansing itself automatically, it should be limited use so survivors would try to be more careful with their choices...unless i use the corrupted pool then it should be purified but not automatically that sucks big time.

    Yes, dedicated servers made it so she has to hit on the survivors screen, which means that you often get the survivirs screaming as you hit them, only to be completely fine. It seriously is a stupid mechanic because it should be client side, not server side. Nothing worse than getting a corrupt purge rob as Plague, especially since she would be an amazing killer otherwise.

    I get that they wanted to minimize the amount of seemingly BS hits, but they simply shouldn't have. It makes no sense.
