PC - cannot control killer after swapping back to Charlotte
Step 1 : Boot the game
Step 2 : Play as Twins in a public match
Step 3 : Down and hook Survivor only using Charlotte
Step 4 : Unleash Viktor for the first time that match
Step 5 : Jump onto healthy survivor
Step 6 : When the game swapped me back to Charlotte, my POV was still looking downwards, like when Charlotte is in her "sleeping" mode.
I could see my HUD, but I couldn't see or hear my weapon. I could still get a speed boost from using strong attacks, but I don't know if they could damage survivors.
Step 7 : I'm 99% sure that I recalled Viktor, and the survivor didn't smash him.
Step 8 : I tried to unleash Viktor to fix the glitch.
After I did that, I watched Viktor land in front of me, but I couldn't control him or Charlotte, and I couldn't change my controls back to Charlotte. I could still see my HUD (this is relevant because you shouldn't be able to see your HUD IF you're controlling Viktor, which I wasn't). I had to wait for the survivors to end the match.
Additional information
- Character played: Twins
- Perks played: Barbecue & Chili, Pain Resonance, Gift of Pain, Dead Man's Switch
- Map: Coal Tower
- Frequency of the issue: Only happened once, but I've only played about 3 matches of The Twins
- I'm unable to add screenshots, but I have two, in both of which I'm forced to look down (the way I was stuck for the remainder of the match). In one, I'm able to recall Viktor, which I did, and in the other, I'm stuck, unable to do anything.

I have this issue anytime, but I'm trying them in custom matches only for to find a way to avoid it. One day in a public match and it happened too. Sometimes it happens much more of the others and I don't know why. 🤦♂️

The user "Lynxi" (who you can find on twitch/youtube/twitter) has played over 100 Twins games since the release date of The Knight, but she hasn't had the glitch happen once; so, she did a poll and found out that it's caused by having a bad CPU or running a lot of CPU intensive apps on your PC while playing. Make sure you close out of all other apps, especially web browsers, while playing The Twins.

I follow her Twitch stream and her closed post on this issue plus her video on Twitter. Unfortunately, this bug is on console too. I have all my app and browser closed when I play them, but I have an old PC, so maybe it's that the issue. 👍
