Houndmaster Permanently Moves Slower Than Survivors if she Uses Her Power
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:
Sometimes when Houndmaster rapidly uses her Chase command, she'll become bugged and will be permanently slower than Survivors unless unknown certain conditions align to un-bug it, which may not happen.
(This is a pretty consistent problem, it happens in most of my games as her and is making her nearly unplayable)
PLATFORM:
PC (Steam)
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:
(Exact conditions aren't figured out, but it happens after using her power. This is what I recall happening)
- Play as Houndmaster
- Send the dog on a Chase
- When the dog comes back, start charging Chase and send it again immediately off cooldown.
- Redirect the dog as rapidly as possible
- Houndmaster may be slower than Survivors after this
VIDEO:
During this video, I start off slower than Survivors. Somehow, after I catch and hit the Feng, I return to normal speed.
LOGS:
This was the most recent game I played.

This has been ongoing for so long now. I'm on Ps5 and it seems to have severely increased in frequency. I came here to try add another video to demonstrate but the comment section won't allow me.

If you can upload it onto YouTube that helps - the forums only have a 50mb upload limit
But Houndmaster is darn near literally unplayable with this bug, I'd almost say she needs Killswitched

+1, I can confirm this IS a thing.

Here is another video that I submitted as a support ticket, initially thinking that this was being done to me by a hacker. This better shows the bug in action, except this time it never undoes itself. The video is accompanied by my Log from that session (once again, it is the last game I played):
Houndmaster is entirely unplayable as a character until this bug is fixed. I know this isn't high on the radar since Houndmaster doesn't get played often, but please don't give up on and neglect Houndmaster for another 6-12 months like Twins often are

idk this bug has been a thing for WAY too long, insanity.

This bug also triggers if either houndmaster or Snug is stunned. You get locked in this stutter step for the rest of the match. No actions take you out of it.

This happens almost every game, it's very frustrating to play with her.

I came here because I’m experiencing the same issue the Houndmaster’s movement randomly rubber-bands or slows to a crawl after using her power. It feels like ping or lag, but it clearly isn’t; it’s specific to this killer. It’s incredibly frustrating to have paid for a character that can essentially break mid-match. This bug severely impacts gameplay you can lose entire chases because of it.I understand bugs happen, but this one has been reported for a while and still hasn’t been addressed in recent patches. Could we please get an update on whether a fix is in progress or at least prioritized?

Just wanted to confirm this is under review.

Appreciate the response, but “under review” has been the status for months now. Can we get an honest update on whether this is actually being fixed, or if it’s just on hold? Saying it’s “in progress” doesn’t mean much when nothing’s changed in-game. Players just want to know if this is something the team is actively addressing or if it’s been deprioritized.

Is there any update on this? It's been an issue for quite some time. It seems to be happening very frequently, and given that it's a character people have paid for, it should surely be treated with some urgency. I love playing Houndmaster, but it's gotten to the point where she's unplayable.. chases are easily lost, and it's just frustrating overall. Surely by now there’s a rough ETA, rather than the usual “in progress”?
