Explanation

Chucky (The Good Guy) Camera Behaving Strangely + Hook Bug

Upon starting a game, the camera for Chucky is fine but upon interacting with a generator or dropped pallet, to break it, the camera locks itself above the player looking down onto the killer for the duration of the break animation.

I've also noticed that during this animation, it seems far more difficult to blind the killer with a flashlight as the player's POV isn't actually looking at the light.

This issue seems to just fix itself upon picking up a survivor after a brief stutter with the camera. After that, there's no issue with the camera until the next match.

The second weird Chucky bug that may be relating is a slight visual hiccup having to do with hooking survivors.

Basically, when hooking a survivor, they very briefly appear to just be floating mid-air facing the hook before snapping onto the hook correctly. Not at all game breaking, just annoying. This effect is also observable as a survivor, whether being hooked or not.
