Bitter Murmur Query

Another player and myself have noticed that Bitter Murmur has an issue whereby if a generator is completed and that black circle encompasses the newly completed gen aura, it is not possible to see survivors on that gen as they become hidden by that circle.

I'm assuming this may not be intended as it works against the very description of the perk. Please may you investigate and resolve this issue.

In addition, there were no perks in the load outs which allowed survivors to hide their aura from killer aura-reading perks. Their auras do appear once they move away from the circle.

    As survivor, I've had this happen to a degree too, I've been using Kindred with Open Handed, so far it's amazing you can see the killers aura almost anywhere, but for those couple of seconds when the survivor is screaming on the hook, I cannot see him anywhere (Open Handed really helped to counter this) I understand your complaining about this happening on the killer's side, but I though I would share this.

    Yeah Bitter Murmur & Kindred have this issue, idk if there's any other perks / add-ons that suffer from this but I wish the auras would be shown on top of the bubble... I can't really think of why they wouldn't, besides countering these two specific perks for no reason

    They gotta make that black circle transparent or reduce its size to some degree. Because of how large it is, auras will usually be blocked by it. Additionally, because it encompasses a large part of the screen, it's also difficult to see in front you. I notice that whenever a survivor is hooked somewhat near my position, I can't tell if the killer is coming toward me because that black circle takes up a large portion of the screen.

    No, that's a really good point and shows that this circle is obstructing auras when that time could be really useful to have for both sides.
