I'm like 90% sure this is tied to the changes to the 8.7.0 patch note:
I think a line of code was mixed up somewhere and that made it affect all instances of killer instinct instead of just when that add-on is equipped. That might help this get fixed faster.
I figured as much. My guess is that they accidentally put Yamori's mask as a killer instinct effect, as it used to bypass both lockers and anti-scream perks. And now since this doesn't work on lockers, killer instinct doesn't work on lockers.
Confirm this is also an issue with the Artist crows. I hear the heartbeat notification, but not the visual cue. This appears to be only n the lockers as I do get normal visual and audio while in chase or they are hiding just out of sight.
Still bugged as of May 19th, 2025. Tested on Legion and Artist, killer instinct visual still not appearing for survivors in lockers, audio still works.
This also affects Onryo once a survivor has got seven stacks of condemn.
Bumping because this is apparently still bugged. I was so confused on Dredge - I could hear the heartbeat but I couldn't see Killer Instinct anywhere.
Good to know for the future I guess, I'll just teleport to all lockers in the vicinity.
In case this is still bugged after 9.1.0, you can track the direction of the heartbeat if you have headphones. That's how I would find people previously.
Bumping this as I have personally experienced this problem once again, post 9.1.1
