Nowhere to hook- Is this a bug?
Just had two games on the Game and on Midwich.
Nobody had died on hook and nobody appeared to sabo the hooks but there was nowhere to hook survivors!
Is this a bug in DBD?
The game was at the very end and Midwich was within seconds of playing on the map.
Posted in discussions as it was obvious for me but need to know if others are having the same issue?

By nowhere to hook, do you mean there were no hooks in range, or no hooks at all?
If the latter, you could have been Blinded by Residual Manifest?
No hooks in range, clusters elsewhere as you would expect but the last match I surpised a survivor and downed them to find there was nothing nearby on Midwich. I should point out this has happened before on Midwich but couldn't be 100% that someone hadn't sabo'd or been unhooked with breakdown perk.
A few match after the match on the Game makes me wonder if something is going on with hook spawns on small maps
Oh I can actually say something about this. What happened to you is a symptom of rng with map balance. This rng for you decided to cluster f**k one area with hooks and leave another bare bones. Kinda like the double hook thing on Cold wind some time ago
So not a bug, just a 'feature' of DBD hook spawn coding
Midwich has had pretty bad hook spawning for ages now. Last patch made it a bit better with hooks able to spawn in classrooms, but it can still give you bad RNG and not let you hook from certain places.
The coding may see there's a hook right above you and think 'close enough, no need to put another hook down here', even though you can't actually get up there in time. Or because the basement is within a five-mile radius of you, no hooks.
