Bug #7955

Obsession Icon and Perks Malfunction Post-Patch

GameplayBalance

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	Anonymous on October 14, '26
Reported for:	10.2.0 Release
Actual Result:	The Obsession icon may be missing at the start of the match or disappear after the Obsession changes. In some cases, the game appears to keep tracking the Obsession internally despite the missing icon. In other cases, Obsession-related perks appear to work inconsistently or stop functioning correctly.
Expected Result:	The Obsession icon should remain visible and update correctly whenever the Obsession changes. All Obsession-related perks should continue to function as intended.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	The bug started after the October 6, 2026 patch that introduced the NieR Legendary Outfits for Feng Min and Yui Kimura. Before this patch, the issue did not occur. I tested the issue in 10 matches, and it occurred in all 10.

Steps to Reproduce

Play as Killer using perks that can change the Obsession, such as Nemesis and Game Afoot.
Start a match and observe the Obsession icon in the HUD.
Trigger an Obsession change using the equipped perks.
Observe whether the Obsession icon remains visible and correctly updates.
Check whether Obsession-related perks continue to function correctly after the change.
