Oni Charge bug and theory on cause.

I don't know if you are aware, but the oni has a bug currently that stops him from activating his power when it appears to be fully charged. I think this bug is due to the 98% cap on passive accumulation being slightly passed and the passive regeneration keeps going until you're full.

Say you're at 97%, and you sip two blood orbs. You'd be at 99%, which in theory would allow the passive regeneration to continue, and in my experience it does, but when full you cannot activate your power because of some possible bug in the code regarding the interaction between the cap of 98% and the passive regeneration.

That is my theory.

    For some reason, the bug happens when I use a token perk like Dying Light. I'll get it full, sometimes even without absorbing orbs, but I can't activate it. Then I down and hook someone, and I'll be able to use it then.

    I got the same issue earlier. My bar was visibly full but I couldn't activate my power, even when I tried to absorb other blood orbs, or even when I hit full health survivors nothing happened.

    I've had this glitch with Oni and not being able to use his power. It's happened to me twice now, and I was wondering if people had these other issues as well. There are three parts to it:

    Offering won't burn. It will be equipped, but it won't show before the loading screen, and the effect will not take place during the match.

    The end screen will show I had no perks and no offerings through the match. During the match, perks will be visible and work as intended.

    I won't be able to use his power at all. Once full of blood, the power will show white even though I haven't activated it. The white bar will stay full, but I will not be in Demon mode, and I won't be able to collect blood or activate Demon mode for the entire game. No game action I've come across will knock me out of it (being stunned, hitting a survivor, hooking a survivor...etc).

    For what it's worth, the perks I've been using both times this happened were Nemesis, Play with Your Food, Furitive Chase, and NoED. Has anyone else run into this?

    I agree with you.

    Also, both times when this bug happened to me it "solved itself" later in the game, and I think the reason is that I ended up hitting a healthy survivor at a certain point, meaning I get x blood from the hit (even if I should be already full) - this unlocks my ability once again.

    Tomorrow I'll try to test this out if I can.
