Has there been a patch to escaping from hook or is it a bug?
In the last three games I have played, I have been hooked for the first time in a match once
- The gates have been unlocked
- Some of my teammates have escaped
- The remaining teammates are on stage 2 of hook
In the past when this has happened I have still had the chance to escape the hook (and essentially quicken the time to struggle phase) but now it just cuts straight to struggle phase (missing out phase 1) and ultimately dying straight away without being given the chance to struggle or escape.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a new thing that was added with the new update or is this a bug that I need to report?

This is intentional and was added a while back. It's basically an extension of what happens when you're the last survivor and on the hook. You die regardless of phase, since it's incredibly unlikely that you'll escape anyway. At that point it's simply a way of preventing the game to go on for longer than it needs to.

I think you should still get the first phase where you can try to escape

What's preventing the killer from just staring at you? If they know there's still a small chance for you to escape, they will just stand nearby and smack you down the moment you get off.

If another survivor is still on the hook, you dont skip the first phase.

If they are on first phase, that's true. But that's not the situation that OP described.

It only matters that you are in the first phase. Your teammate can be in the sacrifice animation and you can still try to unhook yourself.

You may actually be right. Could OP's situation be a bug then?

I wouldnt be surprised if it is a new bug. There are many bugs bc of the chapter release right now.

Thank you.
Didn't realise they'd changed it. It does make sense as most times I've been camped until I died anyway but I still think you should get the chance to try and escape even if it means you go straight back on hook.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening then report it as a bug. I've definitely had at least one instance where there was one teammate struggling on hook when I got put on hook 1st time and we both died.
