Explanation

When survivor is close to a dropped pallet, unable to attack. Situations where survivor is close/hugging a dropped pallet, im unable to use "attack action". Im not stunned, because im able to move freely. And every other action works fine -even hitting a survivor. But today back to back: Survivor drops a pallet. I see an opening, i start to charge my M1 attack by pressing R2 on my controller. But nothing happens. Then when i move closer to the survivor, whom lands in front of me, i press R2 to hit. But nothing happens. Then survivor vaults to the other side and runs away, and then suddenly i can attack again.

So what i think is going on is: When survivor is close to a dropped pallet, the game's code thinks that the survivor is doing "vault action", so when i attack =catch survivor from vaulting animation takes place, but because they are not vaulting, so the "catch animation" doesn't happen so "hit action" doesn't work. And when survivor moves away from the pallet, your killer is no longer locked in "catch animation" that didn't even happen so =hit action available.
