Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	t...7@gmail.com on February 14, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.2
Actual Result:	Game softlock
Expected Result:	Fix
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Sometimes
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play the mastermind in 2v8
2. You have to pick up the survivor on the ground normally without grabbing them using the power
3. Spam the M2 constantly

Explanation

2v8 while playing the mastermind if you spam the M2 constantly after sending a survivor into a cage, the same hooking action will be repeated as many you press the M2. After this, the game will enter in a softlock where the survivor will be trapped in an infinitely dying state, unable to move. The entire game can also be affected and become trapped in an infinite loop, unless the exit gates are open and the endgame collapse finish. i don't know if happens with others killers powers.
