Glitching nighttime target selection

Steam client game. My role was vigilante.

I picked one target to shoot, then changed to another target, and the chat text confirmed that I had changed it. The target that was actually shot was the first target though. I was not controlled by witch that night, and there was no transporter in the game.

You likely changed targets too late for the server to receive the change from your client.

What Djaouida said.

To further explain this: There's generally latency between server and client, since the change you make is client-side then moves server-side. If you change targets or close a will during the last 5-ish seconds of the night/day, there's a chance it won't save.
