Deathslinger's Shot Validation | Report-01

edited August 12 in Bug Reporting

Currently Deathslinger's Harpoon has a small chance to disconnect from the survivor.
This started with Kaneki's release. On the dot.

Notable patterns:

  • It happens selectively.
    • What I mean by that is: It's a rare bug that doesn't affect every match
      • But when you load into a server, it happens multiple times a match
      • It usually, but not exclusively, happens on the same survivor.
  • It's not a ping issue
    • After this bug happens, me, and multiple members of the Deathslinger community. Check our ping immediately, just to see that it's stable and not high. <40ms
  • Hackers can exploit.
    • This has only happened a few times.
    • I went against a non-subtle hacker and they were able to apply something to themselves where it happened on EVERY shot. Lobby and survivors had normal ping.
    • I have no data on this instance. It was a long time ago

I will be supplying more logs, clips and screenshots, on behalf of the Hellshire Gang Community to assist as best as I can to remediate this bug.

Thank you for your time

    i hooked the Lara in the basement, was walking around for a few seconds, started the chase with the Elodie after dropping down from the Hill and injured her with M1, followed her to the loop and then it happened (edited)

    Description:
    - During the first chase I hit her once shortly before the clip started, looping around a filler tile before the validation happened.
    - During the second chase I hit him as he dropped a pallet before going to the left side of the doorway thinking he won't look back before deciding to commit to the ride end border of the map and then the validation happened.
    - During the third chase I saw him about 25 meters away due to his aura showing from a generator popping, and then I begun a chase with him before firing my spike and then the validation happened.
    - During the forth chase I just downed a survivor, and saw her lurking for a flashlight save so I decided to discourage her by going to where she was and firing my spike over the counter and the validation happened.

    Description: I have no idea if we can count this because the entire server and everyone was lagging and rubberbanding. R1cco also had a 0ms ping for a while on my screen atleast. But I'm posting it anyway, just to be safe.
    - 1st Clip with Lara:
    First chase of the match, I M1ed her and then went for the shot.
    - 2nd Clip with Cheryl:
    I M1ed down Alucard, turned around, and then shot her, and the bug happened.
    - 3rd Clip with Cheryl:
    I hooked Alucard, went to main room, saw her running toward me, and then went for the shot.
    - 4th Clip with Taurie:
    I was going towards the unhook, started the chase with the 4 survivors, M1ed Taurie, and then the bug happened twice in a row.

    Hey, here are another logs, and this time they were made in CUSTOM GAMES. Please pay attention to this, because there were ONLY BOTS there.

    From: Shiny Cat Mae
    Description: I was practicing my Deathslinger after being away from the game for a week. Shot a Cheryl bot as she was jumping over a pallet in a custom game on the Eyrie of Crows map, and the shot bounced off of her while she was vaulting.

    Description: As soon as the game started I was going to the rear end of the saloon when I spotted jill, looking for a quick down I decided to chase her. I shot her over a rock with no problem, but as soon as I went to the wagon the validations happen.

    Description: I was having a decent game before I decided to chase sable at main, I went down the stairs with her and when I attempted to catch her off guard the validations happened, making my winning game into a losing one.
