Haddonfield corrupts the game on Windows 7
Step 1 : Boot the game
Step 2 : Play as survivor
Step 3 : The map is Haddonfield
Step 4 : Enter an unhook/vault/heal/generator animation
Step 5 : Become frozen in animation, game starts lagging, kindred no longer works, other weird stuff.
- Played as Kate Denson and The Wraith
- Kindred, Iron Will, Sprint Burst, Borrowed Time (surv) I don't remember on Wraith
- Haddonfield
- While I am playing a match on Haddonfield
I have now experienced a very weird bug three times; once as Wraith, and twice as Kate Denson on Haddonfield specifically. I will be playing like normal, and then at some point when I am in the middle of an animation, I get stuck in animation until the killer hits my character. (As wraith, it was a bit different; I instead just spontaneously became unable to do the uncloak animation at some point, no idea why).
Afterwards, the game lags and other things, like the kindred perk or vaulting windows or etc., just stop working. Moreover, these effects continue into later matches as well. Also, if I close the game and try to reopen it, the game crashes as it boots up during the intro video (the vid with claud, jake, and trapper) and will not let me open the game anymore.
The only fix seems to be uninstalling and reinstalling the game, which takes 1.5 hours. My computer is still on Windows 7 and is quite old, so maybe that has something to do with it? Logs for the most recent time are attached below. The big one is my play session through Haddonfield, the small one is me trying to reboot the game afterwards.

Windows 7 hasn't been supported for a long time now. Gotta upgrade bro. Windows 10 is great for what it is, besides some bloatware you can remove. It's simple and clean. Gotta let go of Windows 7 my man! It's why you're having issues.

You all are right, but the game has worked mostly fine over the past 8 months since I started (with occasional issues) until the last few days when this has been happening, so while I suspect windows 7 has something to do with the problem, I think maybe there could be something else more fixable involved as well.
Unfortunately, like I said, this PC is very old. It literally won't allow me to update it to windows 8+, I've tried. It doesn't go well.
