Blinds sometimes bug chases for the rest of the game.

Archavell

Sometimes when you are blinded in a chase, you lose the ability to start a chase for the entire rest of the game. The only way to start a chase once bugged is to hit someone, and this chase only lasts 10 seconds. This means you are denied bloodlust and the normal 3 vaults = blocked window. It also denies any perks that require being in chase such as Game Afoot, and prevents perks like Stakeout from disabling while in chase. Surprised this has not been fixed since it was present last patch.
