Flashlight saves not working, or being really inconsistent regardless of correct timing (PC)

I've been having this problem since a recent patch, that my correctly timed flashlight blinds don't stun the killer and don't make them drop the survivor. The blind still happens, and often the killer is even moving already with the survivor on their shoulder.

I have a really stable and fast connection so it shouldn't be a lag problem.

Here's a video compilation of some recent flashlight save attempts, that I think should've worked but didn't.


I also saw the same happen to ScottJund (dbd streamer) so I know the problem isn't only on my end.

  • Yeah its currently 6 months later and this is still happening and I am on Xbox One. I twice now have gotten a blind and had it not stun the killer it's very irritating.

    Yes me too!! I thought it was just me. Sooo many times I blind them and it doesn't stun them. Then a survivor isn't even pointing it at me long enough and it stuns me. There is so much inconsistency with it, its irritating
