michael myres stalking not working

[Winchester]

I keep stalking people right infront of my face and it doesn't work and they're not in attack range.
They keep looping me around pallets where I have clear vision on them and it simply won't work, i try to just catch up to them but I'm too slow, wtf am I supposed to do.
People run from gens because of spine chill so how am I supposed to stalk?

You have to stare directly at their body, if they are moving it might be tricky sometimes. Try to find some corner from which you have vision of a generator you know they will come to or try to find people working on a gen and stalk them from distance, or just run up to them and stalk during chase, the first level is really fast, are you not using any addons that increase the amount of evil required for each level maybe?

EDIT: Also just a thought, you do know you have to hold M2 for stalking right?

I played plenty of michael myres, just today it was fine and then I tried later this evening and suddenly I can't even stalk.
I was looking at them directly but it didn't work.; If I'll do as you say and try to be sneaky, with my movement speed by the time I reach the other part of the map and try to hide they'll finish 10 generators.

You can only stalk each person so much per round; they cap out.

if youre stalking and they are red, they arent giving you stalk points. Also, there is at least one add on that stops you from stalking while you are level 3.

Each Tier of Evil Within requires The Shape to gain 5 points from draining Evil from the Survivors.
The amount of total Evil available in a Trial (40.4 points) is independent to how many Survivors load into the Trial, the Evil is always evenly distributed across them at the start of the Trial.
If all 4 Survivors load into the Trial, each Survivor carries enough Evil to be equivalent to 10.1 points.
The Shape can stalk Survivors within a range of 2.5 to 39.85 metres. The stalk's efficiency depends on The Shape's distance to the stalked Survivor, ranging from 100 % at closest range to 1 % at farthest range. With a stalk rate efficiency of 100 %, it takes The Shape 6 seconds to fill his stalk meter.
The Shape's Movement speed is moderately reduced (set to 60 % of his base Movement speed) while stalking passively (no Survivor in his FOV) and tremendously reduced (set to 20 % of his base Movement speed) while stalking actively (Survivor in his FOV).
Upon reaching Evil Within II, The Shape can never fall back to Evil Within I.
The colour of a Survivor's outline while being stalked determines how much Evil is left in them, ranging from white (full) to red (empty).

There is also an efficiency component; the farther away they are the less efficient your stalk is, which will use up the points faster...

Ya, ok dude, You found a bug no one else has. Now repeat it on video to prove you know what youre doing.

You cant stalk every survivor infinitely. Thats a lot more likely explanation than a bug.

Theres also the efficiency component.

[Sharethepain]

Honestly I enjoy myers the most when you have the addon for being stuck in Tier I and you get a map like gideon meat plant, you have almost no terror radius and there are corners everywhere, its hilariously funny catching people everywhere.

Just played a game now and suddenly it worked just fine, got 11 hooks on corn map.
I don't know what caused it, It didn't work when I played in the suffocation pit map around some loops straight in the open.

Thank you so much for addressing this.

I didn’t know they capped.

:O

Ok OP, I acknowledge your issue.

Im watchin Otz live right now and its happening to him.

[Cantrell]

It's a well known bug for ages (months XD) unfortunately, like DH on the survvior side.
Sometimes it works perfectly sometimes u can't stalk a specific survivor but it's fine for the ohers and then later in the same game u can (or not) stalk him, sometimes it doesn't work at first in the chase and then it works when u get closer during the same chase etc.
Everything is possible with that bug.
Very annoying tbh. Guess they are more busy to release new content than to fix all those forever existing bugs.

[Shirei]

Most of the killers Abilities need confirmation from server....
That is why it sux so much server just sending you “no. it will not work information”.
Same for killer grab…
And instead fixing it, BHVR just rushing DbD mobile…

Lol, except that everyone is having this issue since dedicated servers. He has not to prove anything, maybe its you have to play a couple games with Myers.

[costasiero]

Yes. It is a known bug. He is broken
