Survivor Bots detect Ghost Face through walls and long distances

| Actual Result: |
Survivor Bots were able to detect Ghost Face through solid walls and from extremely long distances during the match. This appeared to happen even when Ghost Face was hidden and there was no apparent line of sight between Ghost Face and the Survivor Bot. This caused the bots to bypass Ghost Face's stealth and detect his location despite Night Shroud being active.
|
| Expected Result: |
Survivor Bots should not be able to detect Ghost Face through solid walls or other objects that completely block their line of sight. Ghost Face should be able to use Night Shroud to remain hidden from Survivor Bots when he is not visible to them.

| Additional Notes & Comments: |
I do not have a recording of the original occurrence. I attempted to reproduce the issue afterward in a Custom Game but was unable to reproduce it. This may mean the issue only occurs under specific conditions. I am reporting it because the behaviour during the original match significantly affected Ghost Face's Night Shroud.

Explanation
There appears to be a major issue with Survivor Bots when playing as Ghost Face. Survivor Bots are able to detect Ghost Face through solid walls and other objects that should completely block their line of sight. They can also detect Ghost Face from extremely long distances, seemingly across large portions of the map.
This makes Ghost Face's power extremely difficult, and in some situations completely impossible, to use effectively against bots. Ghost Face's Night Shroud relies heavily on being able to approach Survivors without being detected. However, the bots appear to detect Ghost Face even when they should have no way of seeing him.
The issue is especially noticeable when Ghost Face is hiding behind buildings, walls, terrain, or other map objects. The Survivor Bot can react to Ghost Face despite there being no visible line of sight between the Survivor and Ghost Face.
The detection also appears to work at distances that seem far beyond what would normally be expected. A Survivor Bot can sometimes detect Ghost Face while being very far away, even when Ghost Face is not directly visible to the Survivor.
I was unable to reproduce the issue in a Custom Game after encountering it, so I am not sure what specific conditions caused it. However, during the original match, the bots appeared to detect Ghost Face despite there being no apparent line of sight. Because I do not have the original gameplay recording, I cannot provide a video of the exact occurrence. I wanted to report the issue anyway in case it is a bug with Survivor Bot detection that only occurs under certain circumstances.
