Killer interaction bug (NINTENDO SWITCH)
Anytime I am playing as killer, if I try to interact with something like a breakable wall, a pallet, a gen, a locker, or a hook, about 90% of the time it bugs out, causing me to be unable to perform the action multiple times and sometimes teleporting or getting stuck. As seen in the video with Nancy, this can also happen when picking up a survivor, although this has only happened to me once in this scenario. I've also witnessed this interaction bug happen while playing as survivor, a killer had to drop me in order to be able to hook me because the hook interaction wasn't working. This can be extremely frustrating, when you will have a hook secured but then you have to drop the survivor and they escape your grasp due to this bug. It also seriously interrupts the flow of a chase when you are trying to break a pallet or something. makes killer pretty much unplayable.
Step 1: attempt to interact with something (locker, gen, hook, pallet, breakable wall)
Step 2: notice interaction doesn't work several times, unless dropping survivor and picking up again in the case of hooks, or walking away and trying again in the case of others. Notice you may also be stuck, or may have teleported.
Killer played: doctor, ghostface
Perks played:
doctor: distressing, overcharge, unnerving presence, whispers
Ghostface: whispers, hex noed, surveillance, furtive chase
Map: midwich, Yamaoka estate, dead dawg saloon, others (bug seems to occur regardless of map)
Frequency of the issue: very often, almost every interraction attmept. 80-90% of the time.
Edit: in the 2 videos with the locker on midwich, this is the same moment but I had it in 2 videos with quick capture. I was trying to check the locker because I thought claudette was in there, I got stuck in the locker after trying to open it. I got unstuck by swinging and spamming buttons and tried to check again but was again stuck, and she jumped out and ran away.
In the first video with dwight, he was able to wiggle away because i tried to drop him in order to reset the bug.
EDIT: the videos had to be re-uploaded, so I attached them in a comment below.

Here is a game I just played filled with these same occurrences, only when I got stuck in a locker I couldn't get out at all and just had to sit there until they finished the last gen and everyone left. Killer is seriously unplayable until this bug gets fixed.

Yes. Chimpsahoy has discovered more bugs than me. I only play as a killer and since the last update I have discovered new very annoying bugs on the Nintendo Switch when it comes to vault, opening lockers or hooking survivors. Example: when standing in front of a hook and you press the button to hook the survivor, it just doesn´t work. Instead it sounds like you increase the survivors wiggle. When this happens it sometimes works to hook the survivor by reversing (i mean go away from the hook) and go back to the same or another hook.
It's the same many times with vaulting or opening lockers. You stand in front of a window or a locker, it says press R to vault or open, but instead of vaulting or opening the picture hacks/jerks and I either stand still or suddenly stand next to the object.
Can you please fix the bugs?

It also happened with me on PC and console, it is really affecting our gameplay negatively.

I play mostly on Switch and the bug is so bad, every other interaction bugs out. I played a couple games on PC and didn't encounter the bug once.
