Steps to Reproduce

1. There is a sudden internet connection issue for either the survivor or killer player.
2. The issue does not warrant an immediate disconnect.
3. The game freezes.

Explanation

While in a match as survivor the game freezes during an action, usually when I'm working on a generator. I'm stuck and the UI is stuck for me as well. Other players can continue to play as normal, but attempting to pick up a frozen survivor makes the killer unable to complete any action (hooking/putting the survivor on the ground). The action progress bar for the survivor freezes as well. It is game breaking for both the survivor and killer involved and the affected survivor can only disconnect to avoid breaking the game for other people.
