Calm Spirit does not counter Hex: Face the Darkness (UPDATE)

edited June 27 in Bug Reporting

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Calm Spirit does not prevent being revealed by Hex: Face the Darkness. Even if you have Calm Spirit, both an aura flare-up, and an aura reveal, happen despite not screaming. I've attached a link to a video of this happening, from the killer's POV, where you can see Face the Darkness activated from Yui being hit, and, shortly after, an aura flare-up, and aura reveal, happen to Yoichi, despite him not screaming since he has Calm Spirit. Presumably, this same thing would happen if one were to use Hardened rather than Calm Spirit.

PLATFORM: Steam

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Use Calm Spirit against a killer using Hex: Face the Darkness, and when it activates, you will still be revealed by both an aura flare-up and an aura reveal every time the screams should happen, which can be seen if you use Distortion, as you will lose a token for it, indicating the perk attempted to reveal your aura.

PLAYER LOGS: None.

UPDATE: This issue occurs with Infectious Fright as well, where an aura flare-up still happens despite not screaming.

    The aura still showing is intended even if the scream is blocked (as they are 2 separate effects) however the scream bubble showing there with Calm Spirit is a bug and should be fixed.

    Well, here's the thing - Phantom Fear, a new perk for Springtrap, causes a scream and aura reveal, however, Calm Spirit prevents the aura reveal too in that perk's case.

    I did not know that about Phantom Fear - it may be the case that for Phantom Fear specifically a scream is a prerequisite for it activating at all (thus not triggering an aura and also not going on cooldown either), very similar to how Scene Partner works (ie. Calm Spirit + Scene Partner is a bad combo because the former disables the latter entirely). But for Face the Darkness it's always been that the two effects were separate (but triggered at the same time) and it definitely used to show an aura without a scream bubble when Calm Spirit worked against it properly. I'm wondering if this scream bubble issue may have started when they fixed the scream bubbles previously not appearing for this perk at all.

    Either way though, at a minimum the scream bubble definitely should not be showing up against Calm Spirit.

    Update on this, this issue also seems to be present with Infectious Fright, as well as some other screaming perks, a flare-up still happens despite not screaming. Though the issue isn't present with Phantom Fear, or when shocked by the Doctor, no flare-up happens in those cases.
