    The same way you beat EVERY KILLER IN THE GAME... DO GENS! EZ CLAP

    Well there is no good way to prevent it other than pre dropping pallets and pre dead harding. Dont do anything risky, always expect a double hitbox range.

    It's not hitboxes.

    It can't be because it looks fine on killer's screen and it also doesn't always do it for survivors.

    If it was hitboxes it would be perfectly repeatable with every hit and/or visible to both sides.

    Finally the nerf those pesky survivor wins deserve!

    Most do but I mean survivors are also trashing on killers for just playing the game right now.

    Also, it doesn't look off on the killer's side it looks fine outside of the rare one which always happened now and then always.


    If you feel the game is unplayable than just don't play, it's not fair to play and then get mad at the other players that you had to endure something you didn't like.

    (Also it doesn't happen every time, one weird hit was happening maybe per game for me as survivor, but everyone screams like it happened every single time and was absolutely the sole and only reason anyone died that game)


    Edit: and before someone comes in saying some nonsense about bias I've been playing survivor I am well aware I've been playing survivor and recording plenty of them myself:

    best way to win as survivor right now is to not play.

  • It's not hitboxes, it looks fine on the killers side it's some kind of de-sync bug.

    So they'll hit you even if you are playing safe, throw a pallet, take 3 steps away and get injured because they hit you long ago on their screen.

    I think something with hit validation broke honestly with the new update.

    Yes, but because the devs dont say anything and we dont know what its really causing it i will just say hitbox because its a general term. But thanks for addressing that it looks fine on killers. And the thing with pallets is, if you dont predrop them they will teleport to your side of the pallet so... ill predrop.

    It's very misleading though because it's like saying it always happens every time.

    Also pre-dropping can help but it depends on how bad the de-sync is because again if the killer is close enough to hit you on their screen, even if you are 20 feet away, have thrown a pallet, etc you'll still get hit- it's just less likely at that point because the de-sync is unlikely to be that bad. So pre-dropping is still a good idea yeah.

    Also this whole "it's impossible to win as survivor right now" is complete BS. It's a bit busted and unfair sure, but we were getting 10+ 4 man escape streaks on a semi decent basis still and I've had more grabs not go through and odd issues with killers.

    Deathslinger is stupid hard to avoid as survivor now because you can't double back from a shot for example- but Twins victor basically phases through the upper half of survivor's bodies. It's a mess all around.

    No way, it can't be a bug because it's not consistent! Oh wait, those are actually the hardest bugs to fix.

    Also, it was confirmed a hitbox issue yesterday:

    I don't blame them, the only thing I ever hold against killers is camping. I played as a killer and I realized some were bad hits and some hits should of hit but didn't. We just have to wait until an update and see if things get fixed.

    I'm too addicted to the game to stop playing.

    No need to be a sarcastic [BAD WORD] about it.

    Have some humility dude.

    @Echorion

    I've gotten hits I shouldn't have as killer. I can confirm on my end SOMETHING is off.

    Had it happen to me as Trapper.

    You don't win when all the killer has to do is look in your general direction and swing.

    I played two matches as survivor today. The first one fortunately the killer was nice and let us escape when a teammate DC’ed. The second match I DC’ed after the killer missed but GIANT HITBOX registered the hit anyway. I’m done until this gets fixed

    HA, try getting tunneled out of every game I play, and I play normally, do gens, don't tbag, all that

    May need to dust off Ace later tonight and see what you guys are talking about. Because other than getting teleported onto the same side as a survivor about 3 times earlier today, I haven't noticed anything else strange going on.

    The only game I didn't escape yesterday in my 5 hour solo survivor play session was on Torment Creek vs a Scratched Mirror Myers. My teammates went down in 5 seconds. The Myers literally avoided me until 2 survivors left. Then he slugged the 3rd and I ran him around until she almost bled out. You can win on survivor currently. You just have to play well. Yeah, the hitboxes can be off at times, and I did get downed by the same Myers when he didn't even swing near me, but that was only like the second time that happened the whole 5 hours I was playing survivor.

    Drop pallets early. Also, I play both sides. Probably more survivor, and zi like these changes. The game feels more like a survival horror game instead of a Benny Hill show.

    You can't get real greedy with loops kr pallets or you pay.

    You can't get stuck out in the open or you pay.

    If you get too aggressive with altruistic plays like flashlight saves or body blocking and you pay.

    I'm kind of sad they're fixing things to be honest.

    Okay, so I put a few hours in as survivor


    Not really seeing a difference here other than the pallet weirdness I've seen as killer. I've managed to land all my attempted stuns and didn't have a single strike through or teleport.


    Frankly, the only thing that seems slow to me right now is Dead Hard's activation, but that might be just I'm bad.
