PC - The Mastermind can trap survivors in objects

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:

The Mastermind is able to throw survivors into map objects, making them permanently stuck inside of that object in the process. This bug is at least 10 months old by now (see dates of documented games in the screenshot section).

  • Characters played: The Mastermind, Dwight Fairfield, Nea Karlsson, Sable Ward (killer causing the bug and affected survivors)
  • Equippables: Any
  • Map: Mother's Dwelling, The Thompson House, Shelter Woods (probably works on any map, these 3 are confirmed)
  • Frequency of the issue: normally quite rare, but needs further testing to confirm if it's consistent in certain spots

PLATFORM: PC

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

Step 1: Play as The Mastermind.

Step 2: Use The Mastermind's power to throw survivors into solid objects (from a close distance most likely).

SCREENSHOTS:

This issue has been documented 3 times with slightly varying results:

  1. Dwight Fairfield, Mother's Dwelling, 19.12.2023
    The affected survivor was unable to move (only running in place), interact, or to be interacted with in any manner by the killer or other survivors.
  2. Nea Karlsson, The Thompson House, 3.10.2024
    The affected survivor was unable to move (only running in place), however they were able to interact with (heal etc.) nearby survivors, be interacted with (getting healed etc.) and get hit by the killer's M1 attack (unaffected by M2). The killer wasn't able to pick up the survivor in the dying state.
  3. Sable Ward, Shelter Woods, 31.10.2024
    The affected survivor was unable to move (only running in place), interact, or to be interacted with in any manner by the killer or other survivors. Disconnecting didn't change anything for the affected survivor - the bot was unable to do anything just like the player. In this case the killer has figured out that they're able to injure and further put the affected survivor into the dying state using the "Captured Haunts" event mechanic. Putting the survivor into the dying state didn't change anything (still unable to move, or be interacted with).

PLAYER LOGS:

I can only provide logs from the most recent occurence of this bug (3. Sable Ward, Shelter Woods, 31.10.2024).
