Dracula has same bugged delay in his abilities than live servers but seems to be even worse in PTB

albertoplus

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: In Live servers Dracula has been bugged since May 2025 with the Orela release. A lot of times when shapeshifting there is a delay after pressing the button and before it starts with the transformation that was never here before. In PTB, i tested in Custom game (no high ping) and the delay seems to be now here on every time he transforms. It also did affect his teleportation in Bat form.

Reported bug back in May:

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: In this new patch (8.7.0), the killers that I discovered so far, which are Dracula and Singularity, had their power extremely delayed, making the gameplay very clunky for both of them.

PLATFORM: Steam

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Singularity: almost all cameras positioned for the first time will have an ABSURD delay to arrive at the location;
Dracula: when he is going to transform into bat form or leave it, he will have a possibility of having a certain delay (and it is not a consistent delay, it can be very long, imperceptible or normal)

VIDEOS: DRACULA: https://streamable.com/rat5u3 (In the video, it is almost imperceptible, but when the person is actually playing, they will feel that this is not normal);

SINGULARITY:

(here it's really noticeable and directly affects his power).

PLAYER LOGS:

• When I play Dracula in public matches, it feels like I'm
  With singularity, I've only played against Bots in private matches and it gives me the same feeling

Keep in mind than the Singularity bug it seems that it got fixed but Dracula for some reason didn't.

Bug reported back in June:

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Sometimes when you try to shapehisft with Dracula, after you press the shapeshifting buttons it doesnt start to transform instantly, it starts after a brief delay. It always seems to happen when you start the match and try to go from Vampire into Bat form.

PLATFORM: PC (Steam)

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

• Start the game as Dracula (any skin, seems to also happen with any perk or addon)
• Transform into Bat form after starting (this transformation always seems to be delayed)
• Sometimes it also seems to happen when you try to swap between any transformation. Sometimes seems to be faster and sometimes delayed.

I report it again now because it seems in PTB now is affecting on literally EVERY time he transforms, at least when i tested it on a custom game.

The bug is critical. It affects his gameplay and now its happening every time with no exception.

PLATFORM: PC, both Live servers and PTB

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED:

• Play as Dracula and transform between the forms.
• Try also the teleportation.
