Explanation

This bug has been happening to me since Judgement released but has increased in occurrence after the Anti-Cheat trials on Steam released on September 2nd.
Occasionally, when picking up or hooking a Survivor the game will freeze. Perks will continue to countdown as normal but all player actions are paused—I do not know what this looks like from a Survivor’s perspective. Will remain in this frozen state until willfully abandoning, this does cause disconnect punishment.

Dead by Daylight cites this as a wifi/internet issue when returning to the lobby. This is not an issue with my wifi as this does not occur on any other game or even when I’m playing survivor.
