Survivor breathing bug

Status: Open
Priority:
High
Added by:

Assigned to:
Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:
9.3.2 Auto
Actual Result:
Now, survivors can spam "w" or "crouch" to bug their breathing so there's no transition. Some survivors like Ada Wong basically go silent immediately after doing this bug.
Expected Result:
Before, survivors had a smooth breathing transition from running to idle.
Severity:
Major
Reproducibility:
Frequently
Platform:
Epic
Additional Notes & Comments:
I'm on Epic but this happens on every platform.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. When a survivor runs and then stops running, normally there's a transition from running breathing to idle breathing.
  2. If you spam 'w' or spam 'crouch', this transition disappears and survivors go instantly to idle breathing.
  3. I made a video showing the bug and how to reproduce it.
  4. I also have another video in the comments showing what might be the true issue.
  5. I made the video in the tutorials because my friends don't have time to show this bug in customs.

Explanation

Hi! I made this quick video as a Spirit main to show you a bug that survivors have been exploiting lately. Breathing in this patch is amazing but this bug is so annoying and easy to do that I decided to show you how to do it so you guys have an idea on how to fix it!!

[ ! ] - UPDATE: This new video shows you what might be the reason why spamming "crouch" or "w" makes you almost silent in DBD. All you need to do is just stop holding any key on the keyboard and you just make no sound. This is why playing Spirit lately feels like h***, survivors just stop moving and they become 100% harder to track.
