Scratch marks are STILL bugged after more than 1.5 years

edited January 25 in Bug Reporting

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: scratch mark spawn logic works incorrectly, the bug has been live since around june-july of 2023, some tweaking was done since then but the problem has gotten worse with time and the core issue of bad spawn logic was not fixed at all

PLATFORM: ALL

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

  1. Leave scratch marks
  2. Observe their spawn logic
  3. It's broken, especially around corners and tight entrances: a) scratch marks spawn late, b) scratch marks don't spawn at corners, c) scratch marks can spawn in rooms/places where survivor was not
  4. Perk Fixated helps here
  5. Perk Lightweight is not related to this issue

    had the same problem on RPD last night and have been noticing scratch mark spawns get worse with each patch. It’s like survs have permanent lightweight. I’m chasing this Bill and scratch marks spawn in front of him, then he gets in the hall and the gaps started. Combined with the audio occlusion bugs, I lose him for a brief second because scratch marks gap even worse around corners and doorways. Very frustrating to track esp as spirit but it happens when I play other killers too.
