Is the exploding gen bug being fixed?
The bug where you get a skill check as you leave a gen or heal?

Most likely not

Not a bug. Just really bad timing or a sick joke from the Devs.

It is a bug. Pretty certain they fixed this before and then it came back at some point.

It's always been in the game. You can even hear the skill check notification as you let go. It's just unlucky timing.

This is in the game for yeras, the Devs ignored every Bug Report about it. Should tell you how likely it is that this will get fixed.

Given just how much it happens (at one point it was nearly half the time) it seems more like a bug than bad luck.

as often as skill checks appear, I can see it happening as often as it does.

It's oddly common and I don't want to consider it a coincidence. Even if it is unlucky, I don't think it should be a thing. It's already bad that this game is full of RNG. Adding another layer you can't do anything about it just atrocious and sours the experience, especially with the lack of warning beyond the jingle happening the moment you leave. Absolutely scuffed.

Any sources for this being a bug? I personally don’t believe it is. I think it’s intentional. I came to DBD right after Legion dropped, and CONSTANTLY getting skill checks as you got off a gen was not a thing. Yes it would happen, but back then it was actually random. You would hear and see it right before you got off. Now, it’s ALWAYS immediately as you get off- and you don’t see it. That’s not random for it to consistently do that on a frequent basis. That’s not bad luck. This only became a thing a little more than a year ago. Maybe even two. But when it started, you were able to circumvent it by not moving your character as you let go of the gen. Only sudden movements would trigger it. Now you can’t even do that anymore. Then we get these frequent skill checks as the killer hooks someone, so it’s harder to hear it and gawd help you if your’e looking directly at the hook because now it’s also harder to see.
The devs have been doing a lot of stealth nerfs and making ######### harder for survivors as of late. It’s very annoying. We have this with the skill checks mentioned above, flame barrels got nerfed, you can’t hug the walls on most structures now because the devs put a prop or a hook at the end to screw you over as you look back, Regents were nerfed and had no effect on fog (maybe partially due to performance on older consoles but still sus), flashlight saves keep getting harder and harder to pull off every year (window for success keeps getting smaller), less lockers (making Head On obsolete & Inner Strength less viable), and my 2nd favorite- what’s feels like 50% of the time- hatches spawn near an exit. What is this?? Cmon man. But this skill check as you leave a gen crap, takes the cake. It’s even more likely to happen if you’re in the killer’s terror radius. ######### is on purpose.

You let go right after the skill check sound occurs. Not a bug, bad timing.

They did change the Overcharge skillcheck to follow the survivor if they let go, but that was years ago. Remember how Overcharge was a huge issue before that ? No ? Yeah, it wasn't.
