Bug #5869

Persistent Shadows of Entity Blockers on Chests

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on August 1, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.3
Actual Result:	Entity blocker shadows stay
Expected Result:	Entity blocker shadows should go away when the blocker does
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Found out this interesting bug when checking chest spawns in the map. They are all well aligned and did not find a problem until this happened. The entity blockers shadows don't despawn if you are looking at the blocked object when the blocker despawns. Don't know if this can be done with other entity blocker perks but at least with Dominance it happened twice on different chest. Pictures are of the chest I managed to reproduce it and I will add the log file too. Second picture is from the last match in the log. The first is from one of the first two not sure witch one. Third picture is from Nostromo Wreckage. Fourth is from Toba Landing.

Steps to Reproduce

Play killer
Chose Dominance
Play map that has bright lights like Trickster's Delusion
Wait for Dominance to block a chest
Go to the chest
Be there near the chest or looking at the chest before the blockers despawn
Observe that if the chest is inside a light that causes shadows that the entity blocker's shadow will stay even when they despawn

Explanation

In Trickster's Delusion and several other maps while using Dominance in certain light sources cause permanent shadows of entity blockers spikes if the chest is in the light area and you are there when the blockers go away. I managed to do it with several different chest spawns in different maps. Seems like the shadows don't update if the spikes go away while you are near at the chest. This happens in other maps too like Nostromo Wreckage so its game wide issue not just one map.
