Wiggle bar full, yet not wiggling out
Platform : Steam
Description of the issue :
Was playing as a survivor on The Game, against a Ghostface. Game progressed normally, except for one player DCing mid-game. As the last survivor, I run around downstairs trying to find the hatch. Killer finds me first, carries me, I hit all of my skillchecks.
As I hit 70% of the wiggle bar, Ghostface drops me 2 meters from a hook, goes to close the hatch that was nearby, comes back to teabag me a couple of times. When he picks me up, I keep hitting my skillchecks, hoping to wiggle out, but my wiggle bar hits 100% and I'm still not out.
Ghostface walks by the closest hook, and goes to hook me 15 meters away, all the while I'm hitting all of my wiggle skillchecks, without being able to wiggle out.
(That Ghostface was playing well during the game, but still messed up a fair amount of times and I sincerely do not believe him to be a cheater. We spoke in endgame chat and he said he thought I had stopped wiggling, since I had nowhere to go. He was really pleasant and apologized for the confusion, so I really don't think it was an issue of tampering with the game.)
Steps to reproduce (hypothetically) :
Play a game on the Gideon map
Be the last survivor
Be downed and picked up
Have a reasonable progression on the wiggle bar
Have the killer put you down
Have hatch be closed by the killer within a few meters
(Get teabagged by Ghostface)
Be picked up again
Wiggle endlessly

I just had this happen to me tonight too.
Im on Xbox series X.
Most recent update.
Played a match against a Wesker.
He was carrying me to a hook and other survivors took hits. I was probably about 70-80% wiggle progress when he dropped me.
He chased the others while I tried to recover. He came back to me a minute later and picked me up. My wiggle progress was full but after many successful wiggle checks I didn’t wiggle out.
Bar was 100%

a bit ago i had a game as demo where a sabo squad accused me of cheating bc they couldnt wiggle out
the criteria that was met off memory was just dropping the survivor instantly after seeing a sabo attempt

Is that only possible to do with PC?

I'm afraid so yes.

Fairly certain this occurs when a survivor is dropped near the maximum progress but not enough to get off and then picked up again. Thought this was a fairly well known issue. It’s definitely to do with dropping survivors though.

That's unfortunate.
Well to help further here are some of the previous threads reporting the same:

Just had this happen to me. I was playing against a hag on pantry swamp map. She couldn't find a hook so I had wiggled 80%, she dropped me, picked me back up and my bar was 100% full and I was hitting greats for a good 10 meters before we got to a hook.

I had this happen, although i was not dropped. Killer was running green iron grasp. Attaching logs, hope this helps.
