Calm Spirit seems to be bugged.
I am running my stealth build of Calm Spirit, Iron Will, No Mither, and Sole Survivor.
I was just up against a Doc that shortly after starting the match was in my area, and used Static Blast. I was already well and truly behind a tonne of LoS blockers as I spawned into Autohaven, and I also wasn’t near any other survivors. Despite this, the second I’m hit by Static Blast, Doc comes straight round the corner, right to me, despite other survivor screams occurring quite a significant distance from me.
Ok....
Well im thinking he’s either running Whispers, Restraint add ons, or both. A few other times after being hit by Static Blast he comes straight to me.
Post game...
He’s running Overcharge, Overwhelming Presence, M&A (clearly going for the adept), Discipline & Order.
No restraint, or other aura reading. No Whispers. And I main Doc myself, so I’m sensible enough to know not to stay in the same spot for long, and to move away once an illusionary Doc appears.
I’m really tired of this kind of bull crap. There’s no reasonable, logical explanation within the game rules that explains how this Doc was still finding where I’m hiding, except where this player must have been using hacks or cheats.
Edit: it seems Calm Spirit May be bugged.

I feel sorry for you, my friend. It has been a very long time since I've last seen a cheating killer. It was a Speed Hacker Ghostface on Disturbed Ward. Not a very pleasant experience, I might add.

That's the game for you. Frustrating but we always end up coming back.

It's possible killer's spawn to be very close to the survivors' spawn area. Unfortunately, if you don't record he chasing you and clearly hacking, nothing can be said about if he's hacking. I've played with low ranked survivors (rank 3 to 20) against a hacker and most of them can't properly distinguish a honest player from a hacker, and when I say properly I'm meaning from very subtle hacking (like circumstantial speed hacking) to flying and machine gunning (speeding actions).
But you're right. There's are hackers in this game (more than I used to see). I just posted a video about one.

Its possible the Doctor watched the Hud to see that you got a tier of madness with the static blast and noted that it didn't match the screams. Which would tell him that there is a person in his terror radius with Calm Spirit. (Also he would get a score event for the tier up in madness). However, unless you left scratch marks or he saw you, he shouldn't know your exact location, but he would know you're hiding within his terror radius and not in a locker.

Although correct, it doesn’t explain coming to my exact location without Restraint Add Ons. Most reasonable Docs would start moving towards one of the other survivors scream location notifier.

I would try to hunt down the Calm Spirit person if I had time. I would make it my priority to kill them as soon as possible, I can locate the other survivors with a Static Blast, the Calm Spirit person would continue to be a hinderance.
I forgot to add the case that the Doctor had his volume set to deafening levels and heard you rustle grass, footsteps, or could hear your breathing.

I was completely still, and Iron Will + No Mither makes you completely silent. The only sounds I’d make are footsteps and rustling, if I were moving.

I faced a calm spirit jake as doctor in a game and I noticed I would still see the scream notification when he tiered up.

You're tired of something that hardly exists. I can count the number of "hackers" I've seen over 5 years on one hand.
These are scenarios of intuition, guessing, or he got information from you that you didn't realize. Just because he isn't running tracking perks doesn't mean much. I don't even run a single tracking perk on most killers these days as you can gauge survivors location simply through intuition and experience.

Are you sure?
Thats definitely a bug then, because that’s NOT meant to occur at all.

So here's the end game screen of the match:
You can see that Jake has Calm Spirit (and likely doing Adept Jake)
Here's a clip at the start of the match where I static blast two people (A Meg and a Jake) and get two noise notifications for it. I also hit him later in the clip to confirm he had calm spirit.

I agree
He might have actually got you also by blind luck, I mean I cant count the amount of times a killer has found me without any sort of aura or even knowledge that I was there, sometimes dumb luck comes into play.

Correction. "I'm tired of BHVR screwing things up."

@MandyTalk can this thread be now be moved to bug reports. It seems I’m mistaken about possible cheating, and it appears that Calm Spirit is bugged (it’s not repressing the location notifications when a scream is successfully silenced by Calm Spirit).

@TheClownIsKing I've closed the thread, we cannot move to Bug Reports due to the nature of the layout of the forum in that section. Please create a bug report there putting as much information as possible in the post.
