Explanation
it is a bug of design. It's still a bug in my mind as I have 8k hours in this game, and this has never happened in any iteration of the game until now or the past few months.
The bug im talking about is crows, crows are popping up if the game believes your too innactive, and its making going for flashlight saves or flashbang saves impossible.
I've stalked chase for years in this game with a flashlight, unseen and made into a craft, but now, when i lurk a chase as soon as someone gets injured, if i follow chase and it lasts for more then 45 seconds because sometimes that happens, i get a crow over my head. In what world is this okay, this means that you actually cannot go for saves as the games design is giving away your location. Going for a save on someone whos death hook and the killers waiting out DS? Well thats too long so birds are going to give away your location to the killer and garruntee that your teamate dies.
The video shows that i save someone, and while pursuing chase for another save, i get crows on my head that alert the killer to my location. This cannot be how the game was intended or designed, it just can't. Ive played this way since 2019.
