BHVR, can we acknowledge fps on console is AWFUL since 4.1.0?
(for the original post look below)
UPDATE #2 (SEPTEMBER 1)
@MandyTalk posted this reply:
"If you don't keep this thread on topic, it will be closed.
When we have information we will post it."
So here's asking to all the new comers: please, don't spam and remain in-topic as much as possible. The new patch is almost here and it would be a shame to not have this topic ready to discuss if and what changed. Thank you guys!
UPDATE #1 (August 28)
Q: did BHVR acknowledge the consoles problem?
A: NO. The only thing that BHVR did in this topic was to say, and I quote from @PatBrutal, "Just so you know, we've shared the thread with the team and they're going to take a look at it."
The reply from Pat was on August 13th, and since then we haven't received any update on the matter. We currently don't know:
- if the Dev Team actually did read the post
- if they understand there is a frame rate problem
- if they are willing to work on the problem
- if they are able to work on the problem
- if the problem has any priority over other work
- if yes at all of the above: when the issues are expected to be resolved
Aside for the (non existent) public communications here on the forum, today there has been a tweet from the DbD official account that states as follow:
notice the post is not talking about any improvement over the current fps on console, just that they apparently acknowledge console need special care for the graphical update.
if BHVR should ever decide to give any new public statement on the matter, it will be posted as a new update.

ORIGINAL POST (august 5)
There are plenty of feedback on the optimization sub board but I don't see any reply from BHVR, so, once again:
are you aware that fps on console (PS4, at least) degraded A LOT since 4.1.0 when playing as killer?
Here, I'll post you a video from today on Hawkins, it's basically a slide show every time a survivor is on screen.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/701472489(if it doesn't open: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/701472489)
as a comparison, here's the same map (different killer, but trust me, it's not the Oni the problem), but from one month ago
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/665197944(again: direct link is https://www.twitch.tv/videos/665197944)
The frame rate obviously is still far from optimal, but it's a great deal better than how it is now.
Can you, @Peanits , @Almo or whoever else at least say "yes, we know, expect a fix soon / buy a pc you filthy console peasant"?
EDIT: bonus video - Hillbilly on a very open (and not very elaborate, polygonally speaking?) map.

And those of us on Xbox??? ;)
you can watch people playing Fail Guys on twitch
Can't even use my p3 skins it's gotten so bad
Yep on xbox. I thought i was the only one who had this problem
I’m on PS4 and I can say that I have experienced the same problem
I sick of framrate on console. With crossplay I must turn it off couse killer fps horrible.Steel hope Devs optimaze console, but my hope slowly dying..
The frame rate drops are starting to get to me on PS4. Ugh.
You or someone else in the struggle phase and someone decides to open a chest? Frame rate drop that causes you miss a button prompt to struggle and you die or it'll cause a frame rate drop to everyone else having a slight delay in whatever action they're doing.
I was in the struggle phase two times today and died when the survivor got exposed with NOED because there are frame rate drops there for me now.
It's even worse when I play killer. WAY worse. What is happening.
Very encouraging, ty.
60 fps
I know alot of people love the halloween franchise. Now lets imagine we are playing Michael Myers..."oh gosh im about to tier 3 down this survivor" *gains bloodlust at the same time as a tier up* "welp guess I didnt want to hit him just yet"
This has just turned micheal myers into Mookel Myers. And trust me. Mookel myers has not done it ;)
This is so sad. Can we rework the frames and the memory leak? Pls. I'll give you a lollipop. If its extra smooth you may earn a piece of cake too.
Personal update on ps4 fps plight. Sent a ticket. Still havent gotten back to yet. Went to a devs stream. Legit ignored all questions about fps. Including a tip.
Just checking in boys. It's only been 3 days since we got the message saying they were looking at.
Let's keep track and only leave this thread on e they actually fix something.
It shall be a forever meme of a dev team utterly incompetence.
Fix the frame rates and please, keep your promises
Yup, extremely annoying problem and sometimes we can only get one game in before having to restart
Guys let's be real
With the new update for the next gen consoles around the corner, they won't touch current gen FPS
Please let PS4 and Xbox play without PC.
then I guess this topic will stay on the first page for at least another 4 months :P
I understand that the devs are unlikely to put serious work into current gen console optimization with the next gen around the corner. However, some of us don't plan to get the next generation of console.
Cross saves would solve a lot of problems. I have a PC that is much better than my PS4, but I've been playing this since it was offered on PS Plus, and I don't want to lose 3 years of progress.
I'd rebuy this game in a heartbeat on Steam just so I can play at 60 FPS.
So I registered just to post here on this topic (see username).
Let me preface this by saying that I own all DLC on PS4 and had maxed out 9 killers and 2 survivors with all teachables. Quite a bit of money and time spent on DBD over the last couple of years.
I love DBD concept and gameplay and it was my main game for a long time. When I get time off work and not spending it my toddler, I play DBD.
Over the last month I started playing less and less because of the horrible performance on PS4. Just walking around as killer is jittery and laggy. Any action or chase drops my FPS even further to 5-10 range.
Killer is unplayable on all maps and using Blight outfits causes FPS to plummet even further. Especially bad with Demogorgon on Hawkins & Lerys.
As much as I would hate to waste all of the game progress I will not spend another dime on this game until the performance is fixed. I have a launch PS4 and other visually stunning games and massive multiplayer shooters play just fine. Please fix it asap, it's insulting to those of us that spent a bunch of money on something that ended up unplayable.
A reminder of this announcement that console would be optimised up to 60 FPS:
This was announced in March. Of 2019. And a year and a half later, things have gone massively downhill. A stable 30 FPS seems like a far-fetched dream.
The devs saying that they'll look into this on this thread is possibly the only acknowledgement we've had of the problems on console in a long time. Threads about this issue are -this being the exception- routinely ignored. We have crossplay now, which is a great thing but the game being more or less unplayable (on some maps, literally unplayable) on several of their major platforms isn't good enough. It's ridiculous.
tnx for coming by and sharing your experience.
To be honest, I was surprised that a topic like this wasn't already always on the front page of this board, considering for how long we were promised "console optimisation". I guess the fact that now we are facing the exact opposite of optimisation was the last straw.
And now with crossplay enabled it's pretty much do or die for them.
People won't let go of this topic so easily. And seeing how amateurs they seem to be, it's quite unlikely that the game will run any better on next gen.
Like, who in their right mind would have crossplay before optimizing consoles. It's another stupid decision to the pile of overflowing stupid decisions.
Know what is cool? Playing as a survivor and bringing a mist offering so you can do a stealth build. Shame that it rekts the killers fps LUL ez 360s get rekt
Know what's not fun? Playing a match as killer then the offering flips and its a mist....
A surprise to be sure, but a unwelcome one.
Yeah, also buying a survivor skin comes with 5 more pallets to the map. I understood this reference lol
Playing on Switch and it's like Michael J. Fox is holding the camera
Dead Dawg Saloon is now one of the maps that gives me hell. I got it as Freddy and I’m pretty sure I had 10-15 FPS for most of the match.
Nice frames ya got there...it'd be a shame if someone pretty good job'd it ;)
Leaving a Dot because this discussion needs to be at top
This thread is as long as console players' patience, except the thread doesn't eventually run out
YO' CONSOLE is so slow that this thread has more pages than her average fps.
I hope we get crossprogression for all consoles. If that happens I switch to PC in a heartbeat. I wonder if they are planning optimization in tandem with the graphical update? One can dream...
I'm a Ps4 player. I had to get myself a gaming PC to sort this issue. I'd prefer a quick compensation for us, atleast a cross progression for the time being. please, do something.. BHVR
😄 I get spun by the tutorial meg
bump #2
Bump
If, somehow, this thread get them to actually fix something, we should start a new one asking for them to fix the control sensitivity on console.
It's a ######### joke,.you can't even change your options properly cause of how laggy the cursor is.
Like #########. How do you make the game laggy on the menus Jesus
Seriously tho I get being not able to optimize console well but why not hire more people who excel at console optimization. Its clear that almost every platform besides pc needs it bad.
This thread is as long as killer que times.
Honestly, they are probably not going to say anything else about this. They're waiting for the next console generation. As soon as that hits and hopefully they get the okay for cross progression from Sony and MS, their new response will be "Get a new console or move to PC!"
Hopefully cross progression comes before the graphics update, because I bet that will make the game truly unplayable on current consoles.
Maybe we get 30 FPS at 30 pages in this thread? 😳
I really hope that they actually do something about the frames and not just acknowledge the issue and do nothing about it.
I honestly don't know how people can put up with the state that it's in right now. :/
I seriously hope they do something because lerys memorial has become unplayable for me, just trying to dead hard or hit skill checks on that map is impossible
This. I don't play him anymore bc this.
Let's try it then!
Was playing Hag today and what a mistake that was.... Frames are so low that she can't land tp hits now.
If this frame issue keeps going on, I'm done.
Dead Dawg unplayable
Hawkins unplayable
Ormond unplayable
Red forest unplayable
Did I forget anything?
Oh, got blight costumes on Halloween but can't use them and you guys wanna know why? Frame drop. Amazing isn't it?
We want fixes Behaviour, please.
Also something better than "we know what is going on with console" would be great.
Not buying anything from the game until this is fixed.
Only one way to find out.
I am dreading the upcoming graphical update, we'll be lucky to get 5 FPS on any map...
Thirty page thread that isn't about NOED, DS, toxicity, how op or underpowered something is?????
But seriously devs help us consolers out a bit
I love you. Straight up love starwars memes
I love you, I love frames.
Dead by daylights frames will be reorganized into the first Galactic Slideshow, for a unsafe and unsecure game, which I assure you will last for ten thousand updates.
So..this is how our frames die.. With thunderous patches.
Have you heard the story about console frames on the rise?
