What is going on with window hits?
I'm getting hit after running once I've vaulted a window, is this bug being addressed by dev's in a future update?? Do they know how bad its got or is it purposeful?

I think it's probably due to the servers struggling since the beginning of the event ? Ping sucks so hit validation sucks, hopefully it gets better when the servers go back to normal
This is server latency, and it is inevitable.
Probably because of lack of players on a certain side you are being thrown to servers you don't belong to, so the latency is bigger.
How is it that this question is asked so often?
The answer is: It's not a bug but latency. Due to both you and the killer having slight delays in communicating with the server, sometimes the killer will hit you when from your perspective they shouldn't. It is not something that can be fixed. By the time you leave the window on your screen, you are still in animation when it comes to the server. You also see the killer hit you later than the server detects it. And from the killer's POV you are about halfway through the animation and the clearly hit you. The server now has to deem whether or not the hit actually connects and often enough it does.
We have seen them try to turn it around once and they won't go back to that. Because they know that it's safer to divide a few dodgy hits every now and then between 4 players than having 1 player wondering why they can't hit anyone when it clearly looks like they should get the hit 4 times as often.

Killer can actualy hit through a window, as an example if the Deathslinger fires his gun through a shack window, hits and reels the survivor right next to the window they'll get a hit.
Often it's just latency though.
It happens in every online game since online gaming was a thing.
