Bug #7419

Game Freezes After Finding a Match while in the Archives

Performance

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	Anonymous on September 22, '26
Reported for:	10.1.2
Actual Result:	The game goes into a state where you are neither in a lobby or searching for a match
Expected Result:	The archives are closed and you go into the match lobby
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This happens both when queue for a survivor game while queuing for killer and when only queuing for survivor. I haven’t tested if the same happens for just a killer queue but I suspect it does.

Steps to Reproduce

Queue for a match
Open the archives and inspect an object
When you get a match the game breaks

Explanation

Looking at an object in the archives when you find a match puts the game into limbo, where you are neither in a match or looking for a lobby, you also can’t go back to the main menu even after cancel the search for a game. The only way to get out is to alt f4 the game.
