I've seen they patched it in a way. If you get downed and you used Dead Hard, the icon for the Exausted perk appears, but is immediately removed. It's as if they implemented a double check to see if the hit connected so it would return your Dead Hard so you won't be exausted on the ground.However, it's far from what it used to be.
