Bug #8313

Crystal Repair and Shatter Bug in Haunted by Daylight

Status:	Needs More Info
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	Anonymous on October 29, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.2
Actual Result:	Crystal can not be placed in the gen. Crystal can not be shattered. Option not even visible.
Expected Result:	Crystal should be able to be placed in the gen so the gen repairs automatically. Crystal should be able to be shattered creating a smoke cloud when you have at leave half energy.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Playstation 4
Additional Notes & Comments:	Sometimes this bug does allow you to shatter the crystal but not put it in the gen. If you don't notice the option to put it in the gen isn't available, you just shatter the crystal on the gen, thereby drawing the killers attention to the gen. I've never had it occur where I could put it in the gen but not shatter. Crystal is bugged every 2-3 games. Bug does occur on ps5 as well. Unsure if bug is tied to amassing energy. I attempt this more frequently than my ps5 friend, who rarely gets the bug. This has been extremely frustrating because it defeats the whole purpose of playing in the game mode, and wastes the Halloween offering as you can't get points from putting crystals in the gen or shattering. You also can't amass energy again as your energy is maxed out. Once the bug is triggered it continues for the rest of the match.

Steps to Reproduce

Play survivor in haunted by daylight game mode
Earn maximum crystal energy
Attempt to put crystal in a gen by pressing R3 at a generator
Attempt to shatter Crystal by pressing R3 away from a generator

Explanation

Crystal not working in haunted by daylight as survivor. Crystal unable to be placed in a generator when the crystal energy is full. Sometimes bug includes being unable to shatter the crystal either. The option normally pops up at the bottom. R3 to shatter or R3 for crystal repair but does not show when the bug occurs. Once triggered bug remains in effect the entire match. Attempts to get more energy, such as kicking pumpkins or working gens do not continue to generate energy, so it is not that the energy is showing incorrectly. Since the energy is full, you can not attempt to amass energy.

Unsure if bug is tied to amassing energy.
