Been playing for a long time, but that is easily the thing I do least. Blinding with a flashlight takes 1 second. Time between clicking the flashbang and the explosion is 2 second. Animation of picking up is 3 seconds (let's assume no ######### perks in play). Counting after seeing survivor "spin" or dropping it when survivor grunts works most of the time, but I would like to pin it to actua4 comments 458 views last activity

I've been lately having to uninstall dbd and redownload it. Basically the match would be going on if I play survivor or killer and then I would notice when I hit a survivor or try to interact or anything, nothing registers. I've tried to look up what it could be but it's saying its a me problem BUT I play other games and i never lag or disconnect it's only dbd.

I saw that they were making this perk free and I keep getting info that it's been free since at least December 2025 or Jan 19th 2026 but I can't get it or find it in game? Has it been made free yet?2 comments 181 views last activity

Do we know when will be the next Iri Shard discount to buy some cosmetics or original killers a bit cheaper? I know they tend to happen with halloween, xmass, new chapters ect, but do we have a suspicion on when it might happen next?0 comments 13 views last activity

Hello, I just saw the new PTB and I realized that some portraits for the new prestige rewards are not completely right. For example, the legion only has Frank as the reward instead of maybe the whole group as well as Aestri who has only her portrait but no Baemar even though they are the technically separate characters. My last question is will you all have possible cosmetics linked to prestige l2 comments 72 views last activity

I didn't play for a long time so there is a lot of tomes to do for me. Do I need to select an active challenge after each game like we used to have to do or do they tick when completed automatically like the things from main menu quests? Bonus question: Do any of the tome challenges actually award iri shards?3 comments 61 views last activity

Hi, how can I change my forum username? I see in the past people said to DM a mod, but all of the profiles I could find were old mods that are no longer active. If I go to Edit Profile and try to change my username it won't let me click on the box.0 comments 1 views last activity

Hello! My account was suspended on 9/11/2025 due to a chargeback made on my PlayStation 5 account, which is now banned. I communicated on and off till December with Dead by Daylight support on how to unsuspend my account in which they told me I had to pay off the chargeback on the account the chargeback had originated from which I did, through PlayStation 5 support.

I was playing Clown for a challenge and, because of a noticeable skill gap in the match, I ended up slugging just to secure at least one kill. After the match, a survivor told me that if I was going to slug, I should at least be running a “slug build.” The thing is, I looked through the perks and couldn’t really find anything that clearly supports slugging, and I also couldn’t find any clear ex0 comments 21 views last activity

I've been playing on both PC (Linux) and my PS5 for a few months now, but today I have gotten an error code of 8026 on both and from what brief research I've done there doesn't seem to be a solution for it. I am on a wireless connection, both systems and their copies of the game are fully updated, I've tried rebooting both, I've tried reinstalling the game on both and it's still appearing.

When I played "1 vs 4" trial I mend my deep wound and saw that progress line has red color and negative ">>" indicator. According to "6.5.2 | Bugfix Patch" the Mangled effect no longer applies to the Mend, Snap Out of It, and Recover interactions. Is it no longer relevant?

AABP stands for Active Ability Button Perk, meaning you have a Perk on your Survivor that requires you to press a button on your keyboard/controller for the Perk to activate. So far, Rebecca, Vee, Vittorio, Aestri,, Taurie, Sable, Mikaela, Renato, Jonah, Adam, Jill and a few others ALL have AABPs, but they're all Survivors, and ST Vecna is the only Killer in DBD to have an AABP, that being Turn0 comments 11 views last activity

On PC / Steam. Since the Krasue update my game has been having one issue after another, but the biggest one of them all is that now all of a sudden I have input delay while playing the game. I've tried everything to rersolve this issue but nothing seems to solve it and I'm at my wits end. This is only a DBD issue.

Does anyone understand how this quest works? It seems random to me. I've played a few matches and will get a second added to the quest here and there at random times even though I'm revealing the killer a lot longer than the time awarded to me. I know it's only 15 seconds and will eventually complete it I just don't understand why I'm getting it some times and not others. There must be some re4 comments 62 views last activity

I had ping today fluctuating upwards of 400 to 1000. The game was borderline unplayable. This was my first time back on my PS in about a week. For that week, I was on my Steamdeck and had zero issues. Both are wireless. I've also tried playing on ethernet directly and it's the same issues, so its not an connectivity issue.

I am very surprised by how different this game can look between players! I was playing against a streamer and Decided to check out his Twitch (Cuz I like seeing from the perspective of Others) and I was shocked by how High the Gamma and Saturation was! It's kinda fascinating to see just how different this game we all play can look for each of us. I know that's kinda obvious cuz there's slider3 comments 52 views last activity

I know, after a certain amount, it detrimental to play a game for obtaining skins and outfits. But let's skip all this boring psychological stuff for now. I really like Taurie Cain. And even if she's a >relatively< new character, I feel bhvr had not done much for her aesthetics. Meanwhile, there are survivors that keeps getting rift outfits (I'm looking at you Renato and Talytha). A3 comments 31 views last activity

Hey, I’m having a really weird issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this. Sometimes when I play DBD (could be after 5 minutes or after 1–2 hours), the game crashes or I leave a match, and then Steam suddenly starts using like 21 GB of RAM or more. When that happens, Steam becomes super slow or freezes, other apps stop loading, and I usually have to restart Steam or my PC. Things I no1 comments 131 views last activity

My Dead by Daylight won't work. I get stuck at the connecting to servers after I log in, but it'll stay there until i get an error saying "In order to access this content, a network connection is required."

Hellooo, Is there any actual concrete info on when cross play will be re-enabled for Switch users? I have looked all over but from what i can see there is no real answer other than February. My partner specifically bought the switch version and Nintendo online just for this on the premise of cross play being available and so far its been a waste of money and gathering digital dust :(2 comments 421 views last activity

I used to play dbd back in lockdown and since then ive gotten a pc and sold my xbox. I never made a BHVR account as I was a young lad. I bought dbd again on my pc on the xbox store with my xbox acc that I played dbd on. None of my dlc's are here and ive spent maybe over $700 on this game, so I just want to know how to get my purchases if I never made a BHVR account.1 comments 121 views last activity

Hey everyone! Was curios if it’s possible if I could get both the red/black left for dead shirts on console (Xbox). I wanted them for a long time but due to being steam exclusive I’m curios if now that there’s cross progression I could have my account etc on steam and purchase it and go back to my console and have them?

For ME personally, earning a pip is a win. I don't always have to escape or get a 4k. But when you play well enough to earn pips, the game is pretty much saying you should be playing with/against higher ranked players. But that's just my take. I'd like to know what you guys think. There are a lot of players that take this game super seriously whether youre a killer or surv main. But is this game9 comments 81 views last activity

I was going to get Rick Grimes to prestige 100 because he's one of my favorite characters from any TV show/comic but I can't stand the actor they used for his screams. It sounds NOTHING like him.

I have a problem where for some reason dbd crashes when i hit a survivor or get hit by the killer.

I have been thinking about this for a while, Borrowed Time was able to become base-kit, why can't Kindred?
