Incorrect Translation of Killer Perk 'Hex: Two Can Play' in Simplified Chinese

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on August 30, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.1.0
Actual Result:	The Chinese text says: "致盲或击晕你的逃生者会受到障目状态影响，持续1.5秒。" In Dead by Daylight terminology, "障目状态" refers to the Blindness Status Effect, which prevents Survivors from seeing certain auras.
Expected Result:	The English description states that Survivors who stun or blind the Killer are "blinded for 1.5 seconds." This refers to the actual blinding visual effect, not the Blindness Status Effect. A more accurate Simplified Chinese translation would be: "致盲或击晕你的逃生者也会被致盲1.5秒。"
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This is not merely a wording or stylistic issue. In Dead by Daylight, the Blindness Status Effect and being blinded are two distinct gameplay mechanics. The current Simplified Chinese translation incorrectly describes the perk as applying the Blindness Status Effect, while the actual effect is a 1.5-second visual blind. This may cause Simplified Chinese players to misunderstand how the perk functions.The Chinese term "障目状态" is already used to refer to the Blindness Status Effect, so using it here is mechanically inaccurate.

Steps to Reproduce

Set the game text language to Simplified Chinese.
