Hi! This is an issue that has happened for the second time, the last time I was able to fix it but the same instances haven't worked this time. I was playing a few matches with a friend and our lobby disbanded and I need to restart the game to queue up again (which is a whole different issue by itself). After I restarted DbD I was stuck on a black screen after the flash screen and the task manage0 comments 452 views last activity

I've noticed that there are a plethora of map offerings, but the differences between these maps are very different. Say someone puts a Macmillan Estate offering, you know you're going two one of five different maps with different structures. However, if someone brings an Eyrie of Crows or Garden of Joy offering, the main building and most loop spawns are predictable. I propose that we decrease th4 comments 51 views last activity

Opening the game through Steam and can't get past calculating latency when loading in. The game says I have an invalid version despite having updated to the latest version released on May 3rd, 2023.

Without writing an essay on game design and theory, I want to understand the mindset at the moment on the elements of the game which YOU find appealing. (Not anyone else, just you.) For me: Interaction between the sides. "What interaction? There is so many different types which one is it?!"

Hi, Killer main here. I've been having a hard time getting a pip lately. Not losing one is alright, I often get a 2 k with no lost of pip just fine... But I've had cases where I completely destroy the survivors on last gen in a comeback victory and somehow... 4 K yields no pip??

Okay, so I may have gotten a bit bored and asked ChatGPT if it could make some perk ideas. Mostly so I could take a look at them and think of various ways to alter the way they work so they could fit better into the game or otherwise use them as inspiration to come up with other ideas. Out of curiosity, I decided to give it just two mechanics to mesh into a perk, and this is what it gave me.1 comments 21 views last activity

I know the title is vague but a few years ago, I remember there was challenges within the game to pick your favourite streamers server/group I guess would be the best way to describe it? within the game and help them achieve goals. I know most of you might be thinking I'm mad, this was a fairly short-lived feature that I actually enjoyed (team puppers! <3) and think it helped the wider gaming1 comments 31 views last activity

I was a killer main and dropped the game for several years and recently I returned and now see that I can't do anything about even solo survivors. The whole problem is catching, I can't do that at all be it a pyramid head, the blight or anyone else, like I just got a game as plague and had everyone infected during the whole thing, but couldn't catch them good enough and made just 0 kills and it's1 comments 51 views last activity

Say I run Windstorm Mud (Wraith) and have 1 stack of PWYF, what's my movement speed while cloaked? Similarly, if I run The Beast's Marks (Bubba) and have 1 stack of PWYF, what's my movement speed during sweep?

Like the title says, my survivor ping is alright and I barely get any problems. When I switch to killer the ping is okayish and gets worse, then better, then worse all over the entire match and I'm just wondering... What can I co?

In the current event there's the consecutive games bonus of more XP for consecutive games. Someone asked on twitter what they meant by consecutive and the answer was pretty vague time-wise. "This applies to matches in the same session, without exiting the game, as long as there is no extended breaks between them." Does anyone know the exact time of an "extended break"?3 comments 111 views last activity

I just played a game and everything was normal, except I had no other hooks available besides the ones in the basement. I'm trying to figure out if it's a bug or a hacker, because nobody seemed suspicious in the game and there were no obvious signs of speed hacking or wallhacking. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I haven't been able to find any information about it1 comments 41 views last activity

Hello. I’m keep geeting kicked out of the game for no reason and get a dc penalty. At that moment, i was just opening a chest, when my game bugged and this happened. it’s because “you lost your internet connection” but my wifi was working. After that i had a 48h dc ban, and before that the connection was lost too. And this happened AGAIN when i tried to play dbd right after the 48h ban(!). it was1 comments 41 views last activity

Hi all, I've been disconnected from the host server 6 times in the last 24 hours. It always happens in the middle of a match. My internet is working fine. I've gone through recommended troubleshooting steps that I could find (which I'll c&p below) as well as unplugged my router for a bit, restarted my computer, and run updates.

As far as I'm aware PainRes has 4 tokens now and looses one every time a survivor hooked for the first time. But in our games gens explode more than they should? Second stage - explosion. More than 4 hooks in total - explosion. In private game we weren't able to reproduce this, no tokens lost on second stage. I'm going to create a report and I'm confused there's no report from anyone else yet. S3 comments 541 views last activity

As far as I understand it, hit and run is a strategy where you just drop chases the moment you injure someone, and then come back later to down them, generally on stealth killers (please let me know if I'm wrong about this definition of the strat). I see it get so much praise and I genuinely don't understand why. To me it honestly just seems like a strat that involves very little chasing (which i7 comments 252 views last activity

I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been discussed more. In a nutshell, the flashlight controls on Switch are extremely janky. The sensitivity seems to be cranked up to such an obscene degree that even barely touching the joystick will cause your flashlight beam to fly off into space. You basically can’t aim while using the flashlight, you have to aim before even pressing the trigger, so using it2 comments 62 views last activity

How do I get the new heartbeat terror radius thing? Do I have to go turn it on or something? Also where did everyone get the new black shirts with the blue cubes for their survivors?

Pain res used to be one of my comfort perks and it was fairly balanced. Now with the rework it only has 4 stacks, however do stacks share between the 4 hooks or is it 1 stack per hook? Also in the spanish translation of the perk it says that it activates with the first hook of every surv, dont know if thats true to the english version. I ask this because I played some games with the new version0 comments 42 views last activity

Im currently thinking about pre-ordering the Legion comics which are coming on May 24th and am really excited for. I, myself main Susie and obviously want to know all about her backstory and origins about how the Legion got put together. Here's the catch though: Will The comics even be canon to the current DBD Universe we are playing in? Or will it be entierly be a spin-off just like Hooked on1 comments 121 views last activity

Self Care used to be among the most powerful perks in Dead By Daylight, now it's simply laughable to most players. Should the perk be changed, for example: keep the 35% speed reduction, but make self-healing with a medkit slightly faster?0 comments 31 views last activity

Not sure if this should go here on the 'ask the community' section. If so, sorry for the inconvenience. Anyway, I just played a match against Blight in which I escaped, only to find the following I don't think I did very good in that game, but with the 100% bonus it should go somewhere around 40k.

I'm relatively new to the game, so I don't have a lot to work with. With that being said I have been trying to unlock all the characters perks one at time.

The other survivors just ignore & nobody saves. So I lose ou10 comments 151 views last activity

Before the mid-chapter was released my fps was capped at 120(I'm on steam) now after the update it is now on 62??

Just wondering, was an explanation ever given as to why Reassurance doesn’t work for basement hooks? As in being able to reassure within the radius without having to actually go into the camped, one shot killer or overly trapped basement? To me it seems like the perk was designed to ease camping gameplay but for some reason doesn’t work in the most extremes of these cases? What am I missing? On1 comments 31 views last activity

When healing yourself with a med-kit, you face a 33% efficiency penalty. Assuming no add-ons are used, 24 charges - 33% = 15.8 charges. Did they "bump" this up to 16 charges so you can at least get one heal out of a med-kit or are you stuck at 98.8% and someone having to tap you?2 comments 51 views last activity

To solo queue as a returning player and be matched on a team with other survivors with more than 10-20 hours of game play time? I ask this because I have double pipped roughly 180 out of my first 200 matches back with only about 50 or so escapes and I have not had(am I not exaggerating) a single teammate with a teachable perk. Not only that but a large percentage don't even have 4 perk slots unl0 comments 21 views last activity
