Bug #2691

Game Freezing During Mori Attempt Near Specific Totem in Hawkins

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	catmanthree on April 17, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.5.2
Actual Result:	Game freezes upon downing the survivor and attempting to pick them up or mori. Any attempt to pick up or mori will also fail
Expected Result:	Down and pick up a survivor working on a specific totem
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Once
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	The game freeze does not appear to have been captured in the recording, perhaps due to me using steam's clip system. You can still probably tell that something is wrong with the how my camera jerks upward occasionally. The freezes were longer than what the clip might imply. There were also no crash logs from the incident. I have also yet to attempt to reproduce this with someone in a custom lobby, so I can not account for the reproducibility.

Steps to Reproduce

1. An injured survivor cleanse a specific totem on the second floor of Hawkins
2. Killer downs the survivor with an attack
3. Game will suddenly freeze for a few seconds before the survivor enters the dying state
4. Survivor stays put in the dying state, not moving or anything
5. Killer attempts to pick up or mori the survivor
6. Game freezes for a few seconds again
7. Upon freeze ending, the survivor is left untouched on the ground
8. Further attempts to pick up or mori will repeat the freeze

Explanation

On the second floor of Hawkins, there is a totem which causes the game to freeze upon putting a survivor cleansing it into the dying state with a basic attack. After the freeze ends, as long as the survivor stays still in that spot the killer can not mori or pick them up and the game will freeze again upon them attempting to do so.

My discovery of this came from a survivor who intentionally got me to down her at the totem after repeatedly jumping in and out of a locker (this is NOT a player report, I am only describing what happened). I downed her and the game froze for a few second. I assumed it had crashed, but the game resumed. When I tried to pick her up or mori it would freeze again without anything happening. The survivor disconnected after I closed the hatch, and I was able to mori the bot after it had moved away from the totem. In the endgame chat, the survivors seemed to imply that the game was supposed to outright crash upon me doing this, however I have no idea how true this is. I will attach a clip of the freezing on attempted pickup during the incident.
