Bug #3843

Facial Rigging Bug in 'Attempt Escape' Animation for Nancy Wheeler

Status:	Under Investigation
Priority:	High
Added by:	lenny197 on May 28, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.6.2
Actual Result:	The character's teeth push directly through the upper lip, causing a noticeable visual clipping error on Nancy's face (and similarly on the Rose Marigold skin).
Expected Result:	The character's mouth and facial rigging should animate correctly without the teeth clipping through the outer skin of the lips.
Severity:	Cosmetic
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This facial rigging issue is highly visible on Nancy Wheeler (as shown in the attached screenshot) but also consistently affects the Rose Marigold legendary skin. Please refer to the attached image for a clear view of the teeth clipping.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select the Survivor Nancy Wheeler (or Alan Wake with the Rose Marigold outfit).
2. Load into any Trial.
3. Get placed on a hook by the Killer.
4. Perform the Attempt Escape action.
5. Move the camera to look closely at the survivor's face during the pulling animation.

Explanation

There is a facial rigging/animation bug on Nancy Wheeler during the hook "Attempt Escape" animation. When she pulls herself up to try and unhook, her teeth mesh clips completely through her upper lip. I have also observed this same clipping issue occurring on the Rose Marigold legendary skin, indicating it likely affects multiple female-rigged models when this specific animation is triggered.
