Fog vials block singularity's bio pods + cause chases to not start

The new fog vials make it so singularity's bio pods cannot slipstream survivors while they are in the fog cloud, this does not effect other line of sight related killers like ghost face or myers,

I've also noticed while getting footage for this that they break the chase detection so chase doesn't starting until you hit the survivor even if they aren't in the fog cloud

    I tried this, and it's happening to me also. The fog prevents teleports even when the killer can clearly see the survivor in the fog.

    I've happen to me in trials that don't have any fog vials, can they appear in chests? Even still, I never saw one used and the bug still occurred.

    SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When a survivor is inside of a smoke bomb no matter what a survivor is unable to be teleported onto nor marked by a biopod until the smoke is down.

    PLATFORM: PC

    STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:
    1. Survivor uses smoke vial
    2. Singularity tries to mark survivor inside of smoke with biopod
    3. Biopod cannot target survivor even if looking directly at survivor

    or

    1. Survivor uses smoke vial
    2. Singularity does instant teleport not from camera onto survivor inside smoke
    3. Singularity is unable to target survivor to teleport because of smoke

    Can confirm the same thing from playing yesterday, can't lock on or slipstream into or through the fog via bipod or the gun. The vial just renders the power useless in a huge 12m radius.

    I honestly hope this isn't intended because singularity already has a basekit counter, having another one that's available infinitely so often just neuters the killer.

    I entered the fog vial radius, next 8 minutes i didn't start any chase, windows are not blocking, and i lose in the end.

    I believe this to be a bug as me and my friend tested Line of Sight killers like knight and found that his guards still see people in the fog. I believe this mostly as well cause all other killers me and my friend tested had no issues with their power besides singularity.

    SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Through both the pod placer arm, and the cameras you cannot teleport to or in the case of the cameras infect survivors, even when directly aimed at them. This makes it so someone can just put a fog vial on a gen for example and you cannot use your power for the duration of its effect.

    PLATFORM: PC/Epic/Steam

    STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Play a match as singularity against a fog vial and try to teleport or infect a survivor within it.
