Why are old fast vaults coming back?
Why are the devs reverting the fast vault changes? Fast Vaults giving you the same distance as medium and slow vaults makes no sense, it's like after a fast vault all momentum is lost and you get teleported to the ground. They weren't even that strong, you just had to get used to it as a killer, since that changed, just like when they changed the basic attack recovery time so the killer could close the distance faster, you just had to get used to the new catch-up timing to understand what loops you could and couldn't make. Wasn't that a bug-fix too? Like why are they reverting a bug-fix? I have a folder full of hits after the animation of the fast vault ended and I already took a step, it feels so clunky and intuitive. An official statement on why these changes were reverted would be good communication.

I think because A. male and female vaults gave different distances for some reason and B. It was more than a bugfix and more of a balancing thing since it changed a whole lot about at what tiles you can or can not get a hit by doing a specific thing, I would think they will come back to it and try to changed it how they wanted to be in the first place.

New vaults were stupid, ngl.
You were basically invicible while you in animation (if you played killer against it) Makes it not worth even trying to swing.
Now pare it with perks which increases the animation speed and...
I think it's good, that they reverting it.=)

tell me more about the invincible and how i get it

Hmm... If killer was not lagging (high ping)... It's probably because... You were playing a female survivor.=)
(I'm not sexist! There were\still a bug when Male characters were vaulting much further)
I think further vaults were intended for both male and female characters...
Altho this one on your screen looked like it was due to high ping (you or killer)

@Nirgendwohin Also - I can't do that in my matches as a killer. I was hitting the window even upclose to survivor!

Then just fix the fact that they have different distances?
High ping is the best perk in the game, literally

Yeah obviously but since the current version is worse off from the targeted goal they probably just removed it again and are trying at a different time to reach that goal, I don't know what to tell you man, I'm just guessing.

This has mostly been my experience as well. (I play female survivors too)

Tell me how you are not getting it:
That wasn't me, but I have a similar experience with hitting the window even earlier in the vault, so...

This was clearly a bug/desync issue

Exactly! A bug produced by the changes to fast vault besides the difference between males and females distance and being able to soft-lock the tutorial and that's why the old fast vaults are coming back!
Pack it up, people! The mystery has being resolved.

1. Males are vaulting A LOT faster/further than female survivors. The cause of this issue needs to be identified and corrected ASAP which probably requires a thorough investigation.
2. Official statement is that the current vaults "aren't working as intended." The reversal is temporary, them deeming the previous (also bugged) vaults as the lesser of two evils, apparently.

Probably because it feels like survivors have base kit fast vaulting perks. Noticed this especially with the male survivors. They go much further and vault much faster than the female survivors. It's a weird inconsistency that needs to be fixed.
