Bug #2057

Crow Placement Bug: Crow randomly propelled to an edge of a map around window vaults

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	steponabee on March 24, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.5.0
Actual Result:	placing a crow around windows results in the crow being propelled "forward" to the edge of the map, it doesnt tell you it happens, you have to notice it; further more allowing you to send the crow to punish yourself by potentially adding wasted crows to your cooldown
Expected Result:	place the crow down on the spot of your choice, charges decrement by one, the crow is real, can be sent - has flight path and will take off(increases its speed by ~15m/s) at the end of it - allowing you to injure with the path and flock/injure flocked survivors across the map
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	very disruptive to Artist' gameplay;

Steps to Reproduce

1. pull out your hand by holding m2 till the bar is charged
2. press m1 to place the crow
3. repeat till you get your number of crows decremented by one without the crow actually appearing on the spot as it appears at a "random" spot around the edge of map...
4. then finally send the "empty crow" to get full cooldown of however many crows you sent with one(potentially more) being sent into the edge of map where survivors cannot even be, where you as a killer havent been in past 20 seconds from a position that is completely halucinated by the gam;

Explanation

Artist placing a crow that gets teleported randomly to an edge of a map;

During artist play sessions, you place crows down, however... Now you can pull your hand up(hold m2), press m1 and it doesnt place, or is placed randomly around the edge of the map...

This bug manages to turn 4k's into 1~2k's
It has the same effect on the gameplay as when the crow would end up pathing above the map, the crow is just wasted and does nothing but it just allows you to send an "empty crow" into the edge of map...

From the gameplay perspective, if you try to correct it and send 2 crows after someone TO FLOCK THEM, they can repel before your cooldown is back, unless you can force them to vault something or drop a pallet, so its just kind of partially breaking the gameplay loop of the Artist.

Screenshotting doesnt really work due to the nature of the bug.
