Sudden Game Crashes

Hello, everyone.

Has anyone had their game crashed during today's new update? I can confirm the problem does not reside in my PC. As far as I can remember, the crashes happened upon hooking survivors. It did not occur consecutively, but it has proved to be recurrent. It has crashed 3 times so far.

I have thought about server pressure, which I felt upon joining a game and being immediately canceled because of some host issues. However, the problem is not DC itself, but a game crash instead.

More information: I was playing The Cenobite and it ocurred in maps such as Mount Ormond and Yamaoka Estate.

If anyone is having the same issue as I, I would like to hear your feedback. Thank you and have a good day.

    Yes, as I mention in a thread, ppl DC without a reason in every match I played so far.

    Also was playing Cenobite, two times in a row game crashed (1 time on first hook), guess I won't play the game until they fix it.

    Same. I crashed twice as Pinhead, both times upon hooking the Obsession.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I have not played Killer in 4 years. Today I bought the Cenobite because he looks fun. Game crashes just as I'm about to hook someone ( I thought that it was a Nicholas Cage problem / server load problem but it happens with any character ).

    My game penalty started at 3 minutes and now I have to wait 12 minutes. This is egregious... I mean... how can you give me a penalty when the crash log comes up and I fill it in... ######### already?

    this is also technical issue xD

    I am low key convinced they put randomizer in for ppl to crash to test new bots

    I should note, in that above post I made, I was playing Pinhead too. It's happened 3 times, and I've changed nothing on my end. It only started after this patch.

    I don't know if BHVR is going to hear us here if they're closing our bug reports, so feel free to share your experiences down below and maybe we can get some traction and attention

    I can't enter in the game either, but is a technical issue, all of us have that. 😉
