Why are the Nurse Bugs never "Known" No Matter how many times reported?

Honestly, the Blink Bug is appearing much much more often for me and it is getting very frustrating that a bug that's been in the game for so long is still just being ignored. Like the bug takes away Nurse's ability and it honestly feels like the devs never take Nurse's bugs seriously. Like how much proof do they need with how much people send bug reports on it, if they are fixing it at least mention that they know about it and are trying to fix it that's the frustrating part for me. Like I know I am ranting about it a lot, but it's kind of like having a bug that takes away the ability completely is kind of serious especially if it's nearly every match at this point...

    Known bugs section is only for recently discovered bugs.

    Trust me they know nurse is heavily bugged but it not appearing in the known bugs because they are old is normal.

    Why they don't try to fix them is another question entirely.

    I honestly just wish they could at least comment saying they were aware and were actively doing something to fix it, this bug has been in the game for as long as I can remember and there has been nothing done to fix it. Like can the people who want Nurse to stay broken at least admit that having a bug ruin matches out of nowhere completely taking away all chance for you to play effectively and enjoy the game shouldn't be the case?

    Oh, I mean it more in the way that they say something anything about it like at least gives a heads up they are working on a fix or something. I honestly just feel sad about it because you are kind of right, I just wish they would say something and other people wouldn't just say "report it if you have an issue with it" people don't understand that they haven't fixed this bug in 3 years maybe more so what good would bug reporting a bug that has been reported as much as the infamous blink bug will do?

    Though thinking on it, I don't think I recall seeing it ever being a known issue in the known bug list for as long as I have played the game and I'm one of those Nurses that every patch looks up the word "Nurse" in the notes to see what has been fixed and what issues are noted in hopes that maybe one of the bugs gets fixed, if they have noted it before then I guess I missed that, but if memory serves me correctly they haven't mentioned it as of now.

    I am very sure they commented on them either in some Livestream or on the Forums.

    I think (and this is only an assumption) that her Bugs are related to Dedicated Servers, because her Rework happened at the same time like Dedicated Servers went live. And if it is a Dedicated Servers-issue, you should not expect that it can be fixed anytime soon. Like, Dead Hard is not properly working either, they said that they will rework how the Perk functions to make it work on Dedicated Servers, this was around at the beginning of the year (or end of last year) and nothing so far. So if that taks several months already, you can imagine how much time a complete power will take to rework.

    Personally, I dont have many Nurse-Bugs. Sometimes, rarely, I cannot M1 after a Blink, but this is the only thing and it is rare for me.

    Because "known" bugs are considered recent and fixable. Nurses bugs are as old as sin and seemingly unfixable, or at least BHVR has absolutely 0 drive to attempt to fix them. They are perfectly aware what a buggy mess she is, they just don't want to end up accidentally breaking her.

    With how little Nurse is played I honestly think she's just a low priority on the list of things to fix.

    Pretty sure known issues is just the devs way of saying they know "this patch breaks x" and people don't need to report it.

    Th devs don’t fix bugs for rarely used killers. Clown’s bottles still don’t slow on directs hits which has been a bug since RE even though he is the current tome star

    Well i thought about reporting the fact you cannot blink up in the tiny rooms with stairs on the Lab, but since the map is getting removed it's not worth the effort aha

    The bug report section is literally useless to make the devs acknowledge old bugs.

    Billy had his animations bugged prior to his nerf and they still don't want to acknowledge a popular post in the bug section despite the fact that McLean knew about it the all time.

    They really need to do something about the blink bug soon. I've been getting it way more often since Pinhead patch. I used to have it once or twice every 5 or so matches, now I literally have it happen every match, and sometimes multiple occasions.

    Why would they comment on it? They can't fix it, they won't tell you that to not make them look bad.

    I suspect blink bug specifically is probably very very hard to fix, because it has been in the game ever since Nurse's very release.

    Before her rework, there was a similar bug, where her blink was spazzing out visually and auditory, but didnt affect gameplay beyond that. I also noticed, looking at old footage, that on people with a higher framerate, the spazzing was much more violent.

    I suspect the core issue is, that for whatever reason, every frame the game attempts to cancel the blink, but because prior to her rework, Nurse always had blinks available, it was never cancelled.

    However with her recharge, there is a possibility that Nurse has no blinks available, so the cancelling attempt actually succeds now, and the game thinks there are no blink left.

    Dedicated servers further strengthened my belief in that, because they made the spazzing out alot less violent. The average roundtrip time of a package of 50ms is alot slower than a 60Hz frametime of 16,6ms, or even less with people playing on 120Hz.

    Because known bugs = they might fix them eventually, not saying that they know = they don't care about fixing bugs with certain killer.

    Oh they know how buggy she is. I'm genuinely convinced they're intentionally leaving her that way because they want less people playing as her so that they don't have to try balancing her more.

  • That's not exactly true. A legion bug that has been in the game for about 1.5-2 years that got reported in march this year only just got acknowledged this month.

    It’s because it’s a killer bug. 🙂

    Ash's puppet is still busted and on sale without any warning. Like all the bugs in this thread, it's "acknowledged" (aka thrown into garbage pile of crap they never intend to fix).

    How dare you suggest they don't take Nurse's bugs seriously?? :P

    When the fatigue-cancel bug was popularised, they fixed it within a few weeks.

    When the 'looking up in fatigue' bug was popularised, again they fixed that within a couple of months.

    Which might make you think they're pro-active, except when you consider these bugs had been in the game for years, the only thing was not a lot of people knew about it. But as soon as word began to spread (thanks in part to a Nurse-main youtuber making videos on it), they fixed it.

    And then you realise they only focused on and fixed the bugs that benefited/buffed the Nurse (lest the survivors start crying even harder than they do already).

    Any bugs that nerfed the Nurse - like this blink-bug which literally removes her ability and reduces here to the slowest possible M1 killer - are suitably overlooked because, who cares... just a handful of Nurse players.

    BHVR absolutely know about the issues. But the priority is the survivor experience...

    At this point, Dead by Daylight 2 will come before we get any (detrimental) bug fixes for Nurse.

    At least dead hard is more reliable than whatever is going on with all these bugs like I have only been exhausted on the ground from dead hard once this month, while its either the m1 bug or the blink bug when I play as Nurse.
