You dont run slower, but you are more likely to be caught on objects since you are not looking ahead to see where you are going.
The most ideal thing is to periodically check to see where you are going but still keeping your focus on having LOS on the Killer.

Right I get that. I was just wondering if speeds were different. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

This happens to me a lot too, as soon as I decide to leave a generator. It could be a bug but who knows.

Yesterday I had two games where as soon I was about to down a Survivor my controls locked up. I could move my character but I couldn’t look around. In one game it cleared up but in the other I got disconnected. The lobby showed that I was the one who disconnected.

It technically could have been internet problems but I don’t usually have Wifi issues or anything like that.

I can’t prove it but it definitely felt suspicious.

I see her like once or twice every time that I play. She’s not super popular but I do see her.

Yes and no, but neither has evolved very much. Aside from looping most things affecting chase/hiding have been external to the actual chase mechanics, map layout/size, killer power, more aura reading etc.
Looping was inevitable as player's squeezed every ounce out of the mechanics. But playing around a structure like an L-T wall is very different from circling around the same rock with a pallet 4 times. The latter is more common unfortunately and far more uninteresting.
Some things I think would improve atmosphere and gameplay
More LOS blockers to play around, mind games mean less and less lately as you can see over most stuff. Especially the killer shack with all the holes in it. Walls should actually block red stain. When you can see red stain through the wall mind gaming, the most fun part of chases, is rendered mute.
Heavier fog that actually had a silhouette effect at long distance
More dynamic shading, flickering lights, fog lamp effect, map palettes can be a lil flat either overly dark or bright, perhaps maps that start in twilight and get progressively darker.
The game should be an intense game of cat and mouse, where avoiding the killer is just as big a part of the game as getting into chases. Greater emphasis of awarding Pips and BP's for successful stealthy play not just escapes from chases.
Killer should be immediately threatening in chase before you even take player "skill" into consideration, thus making avoiding the killer paramount and chases high stakes and meaningful.
A lot of the guesswork has been removed in the name of balance but that took a lot of the thrill out of the game.
For example... I remember trying to play around Spirit's unknown phasing mind game. Is she using her power or isn't she??? You had to guess and sometimes you guessed wrong and that was thrilling. But the "it has no counter play!" whiners got her and now there is a big flag telegraphing if she's using her power that takes all guesswork and prediction out of the equation. Meaning like everything else the go to is run around the same rock 4 times.
Like I said simplification the death of true game intensity. The game has evolved somewhat but in a direction that tends to make it blander rather than more thrilling.

I agree with your points. I find it much more thrilling as Killer when Survivors play line of sight and as the Killer I am constantly guessing which direction they went. Sometimes I guess wrong and they are able to use that small window to hide. I imagine those moments must be heart-pounding for them too.

As far as fog and dynamic lighting, I love that stuff. I am all for it. I am a horror fan first and foremost. And to be quite honest I do not get the impression that Survivors get thrilled as much as they should against the Killer. I understand the “scariness” will wear off after a while but the thrill of chase/hiding and being found are primally embedded into our psyches. It’s this aspect that I wish was more heavily leaned into; I mean the foundations are clearly there.

Thank you for indulging my inquisitiveness.
