PC - Bardic Inspiration Not Working as Intended

The Aestri Yazar perk, Bardic Inspiration, is not working according to the written description.

The description is as follows:

“Press the Active Ability button while standing and motionless to enter the Performance interaction that lasts up to 15 seconds and empowers other Survivors within 16 metres of your location.

The empowering effect depends on the result of you rolling a d20 and lasts for 90 seconds after completing the Performance:

• 1: You scream, but without notifying the Killer.
• grant +1 % Progression.
• 2 - 10: Skill checks grant +1 % Progression.
• 11 - 19: Skill Checks grant +2 % Progression.
• 20: Skill Checks grant +3 % Progression.

Bardic Inspiration has a cool-down of 110/100/90 seconds after completing the Performance or cancelling it.”


Normally, after completing the perk action sequence, the player is granted a 90 second buff to generator repairs ranging from 0-3% depending on the number rolled (1-20). However, the ability does not appear to be granting the buff at all.

I believe the empower buff that happens while the action sequence is happening does still in fact work, but is for a very short period of time compared to the 90 second buff that should be activating after said action sequence.

I tested on multiple maps with multiple characters and the frequency of the bug is consistent, and doesn’t work no matter who or where.

* Attached are photos of me using the ability and completing it, and after completing, the buff icon does not appear where it normally would.
