    I noticed it in RPD too. If you look at the map layout below, the generator is located in the upper right corner of the Operations Room. At the right wall of that room, there is a hole. When the zombie detected me through that hole, the zombie also does his breakdancing session when I was repairing that generator. I repaired the generator in peace while the zombie was bugging out.

    Could it be that the zombies have a faulty detection system?

    I think it's a mix of how the zombie detection is programmed and the map tile or generator collision. If you notice the props in-game such as this tree or generator you see in the video of the Temple of Purgation, this zombie detects the survivor but at the same time it doesn't so it's in the middle of "Should I chase this survivor or should I continue to investigate or patrol?" that's where the code chooses both actions.

    Same thing with the giant holes in RPD or Midwich. Like the zombie 'sees' the survivor but a pixel of static meshes is in the way so it can't really see them. That's my assumption anyway.

    Your explanation does make sense though. I hope a dev could explain this to us with details?

    I'm unsure if the developers of this game want to share detailed information but trying never hurts.
