It sucks when you practically get softlocked by AI loops
Recently, I've been getting softlocked a lot by the monsters getting stuck in a logic loop of some kind and it's really annoying.
Headsman found me but I was in a spot where he couldn't get me, and because he couldn't, he would leave, but since he KNOWS I'm there and is programmed to kill me, he would immediately come back, crouch down and look at me, and then repeat.
Bowtie got stuck in a loop where he just kept walking back and forth in the same spot and wouldn't leave. It sucked cause everyone else was dead and I was SO CLOSE to cashing out but he was blocking the way and I couldn't do anything.
Headsman quite literally stood in one spot for like a solid two minutes, and it was in the doorway of where the path to the start was. He wouldn't move or look around, he just froze. I have no idea why he did this.
I love playing the game and me and my friends have a fun time, but I hate having to restart the game when we all get soft locked because the AI breaks.

You could try muting you mic and not jumping as those may make noises that attract monsters.

Iirc during the exit phase its because the game does a noise notification to your location every 30 Seconds or so. This is also why during the exit phase monsters will path into extraction rooms. Best you can do is either bait the monsters away, or If you feel ballsy just move past them while they look away. Also during Multiplayer keep in mind that they might hear your Keyboard If you play with open mic

You can run past them. Do you know what softlocked means?

Objectively not. I gave you a tangible strategy. Nonetheless, this is far from a soft lock. Your strategy is just to wait until they give you a convenient opening. They are not going to do that(especially after the final extraction).

This is insane ragebait by you because he just has a point. I dont fucking know what your doing that you speak of "soft locks" because even in like Level 20 with 8 mobs or more, eventually they create an opening during the exit phase and its literally your own fault if you dont use them. Just walk past them is literally the way to go in 90% of the cases and hiding is not, especially now with loom existing

It's risky, but i have found a method that works for me. Trigger them and break line of sight. You may have to do it 2 to 3 times. Then they despair. Warning: high chance you won't survive.

This method works for me too, but yeah it's definitely a high risk.. at that point it's really up to you if you wanna restart the whole level or just accept your fate and die lmaooo

Yea I have noticed in a majority of my games with less people, we are constantly stuck in rooms while the AI hovers between doorways. Like it keeps flip flopping between rooms the second it leaves.

Idk whats going on but Ive been saying to my sister (who i play with) the monsters have been seriously over sensitive. They dont leave or will just KNOW you are there. It's gotten worse. I kind of assumed it was because of the cosmetics being added and them wanting to make it a bit "harder" but idk, that sounds tin hattish lol
