We have temporarily disabled Firecrackers and the Flashbang Perk due to a bug which could cause the Killer's game to crash. These will be re-enabled in an upcoming patch when the issue is resolved.

Anyone else noticing weird effects when survivors DC?

I've never seen this happen before, but between yesterday and today I've had this happen twice.

A Kate with Boil Over disconnected on me while I was carrying her last night, and I had permanent Boil Over applied to me for the rest of the match - thankfully I wasn't wiggling around when moving, but carrying any other survivor gave them Boil Over effects and the strafing was magnified. As you can see in the screenshot, I have the icon active despite me not carrying anyone.

Today I had a match where a Meg disconnected on her first hook, and her Kindred never deactivated as a result; I had full aura read on my teammates for the rest of the match. I forgot to get a screenshot when nobody was hooked, but as you can see, Kindred is applied despite me not having the perk equipped. The other living survivor does not have Kindred either.

Has this always been around or is this a new thing?

    The best one, and thankfully not game breaking, but just hilarious, was a Dwight I started chasing at the match start. He ended up downed beside a Gen that was blocked by Corrupt. I was about to pick him up when he DC's but his character suddenly stands up and works on the blocked gen. After about 30 seconds or so he vanished, but it was absolutely hilarious to see this non-existent Dwight just working away on a blocked gen.

    I have experienced the kindred bug before, but the boil over is new to me. I have a feeling that it doesn't often get reported because it's somewhat a rare occurrence (at least when the penalty is turned on)
