Hello everybody, As you’re all aware, we are currently in our 10th year of operating Dead by Daylight as a live game. While the dev team is looking at numerous ways to update, improve, and modernize the game to carry us through the next 10 years, we are doing this on the community side of things as well. When looking at the spread of official channels and platforms (Official Forums, Discord, R

@CountOfTheFog Our dear Count, friend and community chief for all things updates, was recently in a serious accident. When I was able to briefly speak with him, he was in a lot of pain and facing surgery. He was also really upset about not being able to attend the event in Canada today. He was so eager and excited to meet everyone, share his passion for DBD, and connect with the community he

Sorry this took so long folks! I wanted to do slides for every killer to make sure all your comments went to use and had a purpose, but it ended up being a much bigger undertaking than I thought and it was difficult to motivate myself to get it done. But I've finished the last of the work the last couple of days, just as BHVR announced the end of the forums LOL. For those of you who simply want

Hi DbD Team, I am writing to express how much I appreciate your ongoing work on Dead by Daylight. The Halloween chapter featuring Michael Myers (The Shape) and Laurie Strode holds a truly iconic place in the game’s history and identity. I understand that licensing agreements are complex and that the recent expiration of the Halloween license was outside your direct control. However, I want to s

As we all know the anniversary is coming up. I at first thought the original survivor was going to be the mid chapter survivor. However the original survivor comes out a week after Jason comes out, which means the mid chapter likely will still have a licensed survivor(s). I want to know who is the most requested!

Or is there no point in posting here anymore if we want our feedback to potentially have an impact on the game? Thats the main reason why I came here as I thought this would be the best and most professional place to have a chance at being heard by the people who develop dbd. Will at least the ptb feedback still be taken into account? When this place does end, can anyone recommend the best plac

(Yes this is a long one, feel free to skip to the parts you care about) Now that it's been a few days, I'd like to look at the PTB as a whole after having time to play with a lot of the PTB myself and watch others and their ideas as well. And as a whole, the PTB will be great for the game, and if we get recurring perk update patches like this it will make the diversity of matches so much better.

The patch notes do not state plainly how this affects the MMR of players. I don't want to function on unconfirmed assumptions. What happens to MMR in these situations?

Been on a DBD break for a bit and I just want some single player game recommendations to hold me off until the Terrifier chapter comes out.

Greetings, Fog Dwellers. Today we wanted to talk to you about some of the perk changes (spoiler alert: 58 perks are changing) and content that you can expect in the next PTB, as well as the reasonings behind them. Back in update 9.6.0, we added Diminishing Returns to the game. You may have noticed that this feature did not ship with exponential balanc

Welcome to our new updated Forums! We know it's different and that change is always a bit strange, we want to make this forum feel as much of a home as the previous one did, it is a work in progress on some things as you can see. We're happy to hear your feedback on the new forum and whilst we won't be able to implement everything we will do our best to get the forums to your liking! We'll k

i already experience this twice, the first one i can fix it by removing denuvo and re-install it, but the second (is today) the three ways that were told did not work, this is annoying because the moment is where i have to chase 2v8 content

Why do I get a Temp Ban for "Leaving the game"? Have they not managed to figure out the difference yet?

This was a common complaint last time 2v8 was out, along with Lights Out. Obviously I understand why we wouldn't be able to bring other offerings into a trial, as in these gamemodes that could be completely busted. However, if we have BP offerings that do not affect gameplay whatsoever, why are we not able to use them? This would be especially useful for killer players that get absolutely zero bp

Good afternoon, Is the team at BHVR working on a Nintendo Switch 2 version of DBD. The console is powerful enough to handle a better version of the game, and it desperately needs it. I can't handle 15 fps and 720 much longer. Thank you

I noticed that there is now set time limit like 6 minutes that you have time to edit your post. Is this again some automated change like the post count removal from next of peoples names? Like I don't really see the point why you should not be able to edit your posts as you might notice some writing mistake that you want to correct but because you posted it more than 6 minutes ago its not possibl

I’ve heard switch 2 will get cross play back on the 10th September, is this true??

Now that the new chapter is out i still see crossplay is disabled? how come? are we getting a new update or?

Not sure if this has been talked about anywhere already but it seems as though the new chapter doesn't have any associated achievements on playstation. Is this intended?

This is from my perspective as a survivor main and has been for my entire time playing this game. However, I do occasionally play killer, mainly in customs with some friends. A large part of my enjoyment of this game came from build crafting, finding unique and fun ways to put perks together to make something that felt like my own. And yet time and time again I get on the game and see that the de

With the release of the judgement you are able to adjust the sensitivity of their power, why not add this feature for the other killers too? And also for survivors when using a flashlight or The Judgements Pendant.

Sincerely someone who can actually play freddy at optimum hinder now lol. (For those not in the discord they said itll only apply to exhaustion at 30%) which will be d.rd as well if stacked with other ways to reduce it so should be nice. Judgement looks good too.

Hello i currently use Windhawk to theme my pc- specifically the translucent windows tweak. It works by injecting so naturally ive already excluded my entire steam directory as i dont want it to interfere with games. im aware that denuvo is alot picker than EAC, are pc modifications such as apps like Windhawk, Crosshair X, exitlag and reshade be allowed? assuming they are, have they actually b

Like the question said, I was wondering does the new anticheat affect custom perk icons since techically you are changing the game by modifying how the perk icon looks and I was worried that we cant use custom perk icons due to the new anti cheat coming soon

how long will this trial take place? I really don’t want their crappy software on my pc at all and need to know when it will be safe again to play dbd without installing that useless anti cheat. For those that don’t know denovuo is worse than eac in every way fathomable and i can’t believe bhvr is even trialing them. Last time i had their anti cheat on my pc i had to completely reinstall windo

Dev Q&A Livestream - Oct 7, 2021 Why do killers get to use Hex once, but survivors can keep blessing totems? [Patrick] First, remember that we have a few nerfs coming. Boon totems are range limited support mechanics, and wastes time since survivor is not on a generator. Hexes are global and game changing, , so they have the risk of being cleansed. For example, during design we said "

Before it was based on kills but now it's based on …what? For those that want to raise their MMR, it's a great change. No matter what you do if you're trying your MMR will go up …or what? I just want to understand. I was never one to take up nasty strategies like tunneling or slugging from the start of a match. I like going for my 8 hooks before I start killing people and if they brought cak

Have to admit i haven't watched much ptb footage of the judgement. But after 4-5 matches against judgement today they seem super weak to me. Every game saw gens finished, and only 1 was a 3k (should've been a 2k but an ill advised endgame rescue attempt went very pearshaped) the others were all 0 or 1ks. The beam is mad easy to dodge, and i rarely juice time in chase they way i have been agains

I see people complaining about the new killer, but to be honest? It's krasue all over again. I'm not even GOOD at survivor and I have managed to escape them pretty consistently. How are the devs supposed to believe survivors about kaneki when people refuse to even acknowledge the difficulty of THE MOST TECHNICAL KILLER IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW? It's all "free wins" but the truth is those wins

on the chorus of sin ptb every killer felt incredibly smooth and responsive to play, and killers heavily impacted by inconsistent ping(ghoul namely) were instantly fixed because of this change, everyone who noticed it voiced their excitement and praise for the change, and mandy herself was asked about the change was said "thats what we wanted to hear" and on the live patch released today it just

I'd like to discuss the fact that not everyone has a good PC or the money for one. I'd suggest adding a special setting in the special features section of BHVR, enabling legacy graphics, as well as legacy running, and so on. Reverting the screen resolution back to 1440x1080, as it increases your FPS and makes the game less laggy. I just want to help people with weak PCs, to avoid crashes, etc. I'

Hello everyone you must to nerf the judgment because it's unplayable thanks you

Hello everyone, today I read the announcement of the Anti-Cheat Trials. First of all: It is great that you want to improve the anticheat system. After reading the whole Post on steam I had a question in mind: Will the anti-cheat trials be aware of Linux(CachyOS like I use)/Steamdeck users? I am a little bit affraid that DBD won´t start anymore with some of those anti-cheat tools. Best reg

On the 10.1.0. PTB an undocumented change was done that made most Killer powers noticeably more responsive and consistent, instead of being negatively affected by being server-sided and clunky overall, like how it's been for the longest time and now - on the live release of 10.1.0. once more. Many killers, namely Ghoul, Nemesis, Billy, Demogorgon, etc. were affected by this very positively and

For a while now I am not able to get into the game due to this specific data- Easy anti cheat tells me to delete it, even though I am playing this game for over 10 years now and never had an issue

Now that the Judgment is live and since I’m going on break after today because I wanna wait until The Terrifier chapter drops for hopefully a new kind of Killer. I want to get my thoughts out there for the people to hear, and let tell you something about this Killer on Controller. THIS KILLER FEELS SURPRISINGLY GOOD ON CONTROLLER!!! INFACT, I PERFER IT OVER MOUSE AND KEY BOARD!!! I don’t know why

I am having so much fun! I spent 25k Iri shards on her, outfits and bought the new outfit with auric cells. 5 Million BP spent. She was definitely worth the wait! <3 She is infact console friendly too! I adjusted her settings too as well to personalize to my taste :D I have many heretics that I need to pay visits too, so back in the fog I go!

the "BUM" "WHOOSH" sounds, noticed in newest update the sound when clicking the ready button it is no longer there I know its a small thing but not there is only subtle sound que for the ready up. I used it to make sure audio was loud enough 😅

I knew it was going to be bad but i just got matched against a trapper with 5 minutes playtime. Next few days are going to be rough.

Why does it show me my time region and how long I'm already waiting instead of how long I have to wait? 🫩

I noticed me and other PlayStation users don’t see the newest chapter, Chorus of Sin available to purchase in the PlayStation store. Is it because of the trophy list limit being reached for the game and the newest achievements couldn’t be added? Or, is this a separate issue? It would be nice if all of this was addressed publicly because I see no official announcements of these issues.
