Intentional or not, I think it's strange that the developers aren't noticing a difference, unless I'm misunderstanding Geez' reply.

As others have stated, the AI itself isn't really in a state to be ramping up the sensitivity to this point. It just results in frustration and being punished despite doing the right thing. I'm assuming there was a reason the developers intended to "focus" on the AI last year, despite walking that back later on. They feel cheap.

I have my doubts this was intentional, though. It seems like they are ignoring the existence of visual obstacles.

Its not about nigh time but in general, new patch broke the zombies again, they are way too aware now, sneaking on them to perform a stealth kill is almost impossible if it's not raining. They spot you throught walls and sees you from way too far.
