Game freezing after Vecna matches

in Bug Reporting

Twice now my friend (Boon: Bimbo/Ruuin) and I (Hex: Twink) on Steam have had the game freeze to the point of needing to close the game from Steam. Last time this happened I got the warning of data loss if I did so, but there was no other option as the game could not be interacted with. This has only recently started up in the last hour, as a few hours ago I had two Vecna matches with no issue, and together we had a Doctor match with no issue end game.

and a side note, Susie's new cosmetic has Frank's breathing sounds. Poor girl needs a throat drop.

    Same on Xbox Series X. I think we have to leave instantly or risk this. I stayed around to look at the numbers and it froze.

    Same here after Vecna match. Also a different map so i don't think its a map issue. Something weird is happening at the result screen causing a freeze.. game sounds still functioning but task manager not responding.

    Same, I just had two matches with Vecna back to back and as soon as the game ends the game becomes unresponsive…

    I haven’t encountered freezing but I have encountered massive frame drops and stuttering it makes chases un-winnable as survivors and even playing a custom match as vecna massive frame issues.. in certain spots on certain maps.

    It's still happening, I just watched a streamer experience it at 6:30pm est

    I sent a report about it stating my friends and I have experienced it and even added in when another streamer experienced it while communicating in the ticket. It's not a me problem, it's something to do with Vecna.

    I'm not asking to know what changes are coming for him, I want the freezing to be looked into, this is a problem on the games end with that killer in particular. I wish I could send a shot of the builds they run, but the game literally freezes/becomes unresponsive.
