PS4 - No HUD while playing as Survivor
Have had this issue happen several times before. It's pretty random since it has happened while using different survivors against different killers on different maps both solo and swf. From the start of the match I have no HUD (some occasions the map name stays). When I do actions there is no prompt for the action and it does not show my progress/skill checks when performing actions. When I spectate after being sacrificed I can see the HUD for my teammates. Times I've played swf my teammates have said they have a HUD when I did not.
Steps to recreate:
Step 1 : Boot the game
Step 2 : Play as survivor in a public match - can be solo or swf, any survivor, any map.
Step 3 : When game starts there is no HUD, sometimes the map name will stay for the entire match.
Step 4 : Cleanse totem/search chest to see no progress bar pop up. Work on a gen and skill checks will not appear when there is a sound for them. No notification for dropping pallet/vaulting. Wiggle does not show when picked up by killer. Etc.

Just had another match where I had no HUD but the map name stayed the whole match. Different killer, different map. Killer this time was Doctor so I could not snap out of it without tapping to avoid skill checks.
6 months later and this is still an issue for me on PS4, it happens about twice a month as survivor. Here are screenshots from match I just had with no HUD.
Has happened to me on steam, PS4 and PS5. No rhyme or reason that’s readily identifiable on my part
No HUD again. Feel bad for the randoms I'm paired with because I'm pretty much useless aside from being chased by killer or unhooking. Can't heal or work gens efficiently because I can't see the skill checks, can only guess and hope I'll hit it when I hear the sound go off.
