Any console players going to try the free PC weekend?
I'm tempted by the better graphics and framerates but I'm worried it might be so good I need to buy everything again.

Nope, my computer is on it's last legs and I can't really download anything anymore. I can barely even play Minecraft on my pc without it freeze lagging every time I try to move.
However, I doubt most people with consoles even have a good enough PC to run DBD at any decent settings. Due to how poorly optimized it is.
Like two years ago, ironically, I could have. But some errors messed up my computer so bad I can't use it as I did that time ago.
Until just before Christmas I ran DBD just fine at 1080P Medium on a graphics card from 2012.
I have a pc that can run it, I just have no desire to. DBD is something my wife and I do together, switching back and forth between matches. Killing survivors for an hour or two is our bonding time. Playing on PC would kill some of the fun for us.
I don't have a good PC
same, and I don't like using wasd or arrow keys, too used to controller and I would be at a dis-advantage
Mrs JawsIsTheNextKiller and I do the same. Unfortunately she hogs playstation and annoyingly, she is a far better player than I am. She's sat in her toxic SWF death squad right now with her headphones on so I thought it would be a good idea to practice on the PC since I can't communicate with her,
Of course this happens AFTER I got a new pc and bought DBD...... #########!
It's free this weekend so I though I would try it. But you are right about the optimisation, I bought a GeForce 770 ages ago for Witcher 3 so naturally I thought I will put it on Ultra and get amazing frame rates on DBD. I do not!
You have no idea! I've been trying it using WASD, CTRL, ALT and Space for thowing a pallet down. My left hand feels like a claw! A hags claw even.
4 games in against level 20 using WASD, sacrificed on all of them. I managed a pip.
Did you at least catch the game on offer? Most of the DLC is on offer too.
I never even thought about that. It beats watching TrueTalent for my fix (no disrespect meant to him of course). I could move my graphics card to the upstairs PC! Does the game recognise X, O Triangle and Square or does it think it is an Xbox controller?
I tried it but the controls feel so weird to me.
My freak is showing
Ok so I've given up on WSAD and switched to an xbox controller, its fine but it keeps telling me to press stupid things like LB whatever the flip that is. If I get off Rank 20 on PC I've got no chance if I'm against mouse jockeys!
You only need to buy the basegame and leatherface. You dont need anything else tbh
You can play with controller on PC too, but I wouldnt recommend it when playing killer
Then why play?
I dunno the shift for run just felt awkward.... does everyone keep the same key setup?
(WASD I'm fine with)
I didnt change the keysettings, but you can of course.
Since you are talking about pressing shift for sprinting, I assume you mainly play survivor. For survivors it doesnt really matter whether you use keyboard or controller since you dont have to aim at all.
Simply plug in your controller into the PC and have the same controller experience, but with better performance
I was ok with the killer keybinds. I play both half and half.
The survivor I struggled with so I went back to my xbox
is very much going to give it a go....esp since it's free....though i will need to get use to the keys lol
It thinks it's an X-Box controller, but I've gotten used to it. My PC is near my bed, so the cord extends that far, at least. I just can't get used to K&M on PC for this game. I played on PS4 so long before switching to PC that I just continued using the controller when I made the switch.
Hell no.
As I said, just use your controller when playing survivor. This way you only have the performance advantage and no disadvantage
If it was more than 2 days I probably would try some killer. But playing against rank 20's is boring.
If there was ever a way to link your profile to Xbox and have all the stuff I worked so hard for with my nearly 1 billion BP spent I would just flat out buy the game on PC.
