Explanation

Whenever you load into a killer match, the camera will stall a second and then the killer is trapped in third person from behind; they are not supposed to do this, the model is distorted and glitched, and the camera is heavily disorienting. This bug seems to have a near 100% occurrence rate and makes playing killer on switch almost unplayable. This bug is a genuine problem that makes half the experience of Dead by Daylight borderline unplayable and it needs the utmost urgency to be fixed as an entire console worth of players will suffer unplayable games. And this is not a specific killers issue it will happen on every killer including The Good Guy to some degree.
