Victor loses control and abilities after Killer Instinct swap in Dead Sands

Due date:
Reported for:
10.2.2
Actual Result:
Victor becomes locked out of all primary actions and UI interactions. The player can only physically move Victor and press the Left Bumper (which plays an audio cue but has no gameplay effect). Ability charges, switching back to Charlotte, and UI button prompts completely disappear, rendering Victor stuck until the match ends or he is crushed.
Expected Result:
After taking control of Victor, the player should be able to utilize his full kit, including charging a pounce (Left Trigger), switching back to Charlotte, and seeing all relevant on-screen UI button prompts.
Severity:
Major
Reproducibility:
Once
Platform:
Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:
I was frustrated with the experience and immediately quit the trial when I realized what was happening so I was unable to take a screenshot or a video.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Playing as The Twins of the Dead Sands map using a controller.
  2. Left Victor idle on the stairs of the main building directly above the generator.
  3. As Charlotte, engaged in a survivor chase on the exact opposite side of the map.
  4. The survivor dropped a pallet during the chase (the drop did not cause a stun).
  5. Victor's Killer Instinct triggered simultaneously due to a survivor's proximity to his idle location.
  6. Switched control from Charlotte over to Victor immediately upon the Killer Instinct notification.

Explanation

Victor loses all ability inputs, UI prompts, and character-switching capabilities after swapping via Killer Instinct on Dead Sands.

Upon taking control, Victor became completely locked down. The user interface prompts for all abilities and interactions vanished entirely. The only functional inputs were basic joystick movement (running) and the Left Bumper, which would trigger an audio cue but execute no gameplay action. It was impossible to charge a pounce, interact with the environment, or switch control back to Charlotte. No status debuffs were active on the Killer at the time of the glitch.
