Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

This is weird but someone needs to explain it

What is the weird hits with windows?


Sometimes you will hit a survivor at a vault and somehow down them, causing them to face plant for some reason, and sometimes you SHOULD hit a survivor and somehow miss the vault


I even tested this before, I hit one survivor and they did the flop, hit another at the same timing in the vault and missed

    It's called Schrodinger's Window. When vaulting a window survivors are both hit and not hit. Two parallel trials exist at the same time until the Entity decides which one you get.

    Medium vaults will usually guarantee a hit, considering the hit box stays there longer. Fast vaults have a lower window of opportunity.

    But at times the dedicated servers can screw it up and make the difference in distance different between both players. On the survivor side, they may have been away from the window, while on the killer side, the animation may have only just ended.

    I assume that's what you're talking about anyway.

    Maybe Possibly Survivors vault pallets faster?
