Killer Hits Through Pallet
When I began playing today I noticed a variety of weird things...
Firstly and most importantly while being chased by a killer they will swing and I throw down the pallet, normally this would stun them and I would either get hit or not get hit. Now since this new update I seem to almost always get hit, and the killer does not get stunned so I don't even get those points. It is definitely a bug as there are situations where I definitely should not get hit and still do. This dramatically hurts my playstyle as I usually run the killer and it makes it far more difficult since I can no longer rely on pallets to work.
Second and less important I noticed some weird movement bugs. Things seem a little less fluid, like crouching and running. Not laggy, just different in a bad way. Like when I crouch I instantly go into crouch rather than a fluid motion down. Things just seem a little off with all the movement.

I have very similar issues as well. I simply cannot get a pallet stun to work. No matter how close the killer is, swinging into the pallet or not, stuns just don't happen. Makes it extremely difficult to utilize certain pallets, especially unsafe ones.

Lag, latency, desync (this is likely 100% the reason why) aside you can try hugging some loops extra tight. If the killer is on your butt and you cut in the pallet literally as tight as you can then there’s a chance they will get aim dressing cucked at the edge of the pallet where you can stun them or you may not even have to drop it if they went a little wide (killers have slightly wider hit boxes on their models) they might end up whiffing by a hair if you maintained just enough distance by wallpaper running.

I have played a lot of killer recently and pallets seem to be majorly ######### right now. If you swing as killer and lunge into a pallet as its being dropped, it will not stun you most of the time. Also there have been a few times where I have gotten really bad hits through pallets and then just gotten pushed back by it, though hitting through pallets seems mostly alright.
I am unsure if this is desync since it seems to be off for both me as the killer and for the survivor and it seems to consistent to be lag, though the hits might be lag.
I am on PS4 so I do not know if my experience is different than others.

I can confirm this as I first played killer on this patch. For some reason, the killer is not considered as being hit by the pallet, to the point where the game will PUSH you (the killer) just outside of the pallets stun range when the pallet is thrown down and you don't become affected by it.

Similar or same here, like every pallet, 2 out of 20 stuns really stun, another time Killer just swing and slip on pallet like soap. It looks like I'm wasting all pallets on map.

Back in February I made a bug report that killers weren't getting stunned even though I'd get the killer stunned scoring event on ps4 (https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/228061/ps4-killer-not-stunned-by-pallet#latest), after this last update it seems to be more consistent.
