  • I am getting flashbacks from The Legion chapter release. New killer just is in your tail the whole time and no one can do anything. Before the obvious nerf that is coming, solo queue at least is unplayable.

  • This happened to me too yesterday, and now today. And Im on PS5.

  • I see the game has still the same inconveniences, as I haven't touched this game for about a month now and the forum posts address still the same issues from this new patch.

    I really enjoyed DBD because I could easily open the game, whether I wanted to tryhard as killer or have a more chill experience as a survivor. Thus I mostly played survivor as it was not so stressful. I was also the player who wanted to make a final unhook even if it could mean that I'll not escape, maybe this was because I knew I could have escapes in other matches.

    I played the new patch for few weeks, and the game is not so easy to open anymore: even the survivor matches now have a "tryhard mentality" to it. I can't do the final unhook if the gens won't get done, ever. They changed the game entirely for the survivors: they made 3k hour survivors into 300h survivors, and same time buffing 300h killers to 3k hour killers (provocatively speaking). If they first just implemented the survivor changes, survivors could have adapted to the changes more easily. And also I agree with the opinions that they should have only deleted DH and NOED and put the 90s gens, it could have been the easiest solution.

    I'll still passively follow content creators and DBD social media, if they'll do some changes that will make the game more enjoyable in the future. Otherwise, best of luck for all of you in the fog. :)

  • After 24 hours as a soloQ player with this update, it's been pure misery. Every game someone is tunneled off game and killer perks Thana, Sourge hooks, DMS, Corrupt etc. seem stronger than ever with this playstyle. None of my games have had anyone escaping and I'm an experienced player, of course not knowing my MMR tho.

    For me the most broken perks before were Dead Hard and Hex:Ruin, they needed some nerfing and DH was especially totally unfair. I'd have liked to see how the gen speeds and overall gameplay would have changed if they just "deleted" DH. IMO this could have been the answer to balance the game, as the chases would have been more fair and shorter in average.

    What this update did was they forced the survivors change their meta, and did basically nothing for the killer meta. Killers can run the same meta as before, and with the base kit changes the old meta is even stronger. They claim they dont want to encourage tunneling, and then they nerf the strongest antitunnel perk DS into being just a minor inconvenience, even when all the killer mains say DS should be closer to 10s stun. Then introducing Off the record as the new meta perk, but it doesnt work either when all the gens are done. It's frustrating to see that survivors cant use these strong perks in the endgame, when they managed to do the main objective which is doing five gens. Maybe they should also deactive NOED when the last gen pops (sarcasm).

    Also for me Iron will was the funniest perk to run, and as I agree they should have added normal breathing noise while injured but not the grunts as it is, now I'm just trying find other things from this game to make it fun. Or I'll just find another game, simple and maybe not a bad solution after all these years. :)

  • It's time to up this thread. The problems were not solved before today, and now the patch today made things worse. It has been nearly two months now?

    I played as Legion in Lery's and was chasing a Meg, and they made a Deception play mid-chase and it totally froze my game. And as a survivor Dead hard always freezes the game.

    Maybe it's time to acknowledge this thread and address the problem. New chapter is on the way and PS4 is still unplayable.

    Again, nice videos to emphasize the problem, I'm experiencing the same things as survivor. As a killer these lag spikes happen randomly when using any attacks, so no change there either.

  • I just want to up this thread. It's been three weeks now, the game has been unplayable on PS4. I hope they really are working to fix this, along with releasing the mid-chapter PTB...This bug is beyond frustrating.

    Edit: They tweeted they are investigating a HDD issue, which has effects on some platforms.

  • I got lags/frame drops in Autohaven, playing against Blight. And in the new map, playing against Myers and Nemesis.

  • This happens to me also on PS4, freezing every now and then for a second. And when being carried by Nemesis, the frames drop significantly.

  • I have no problem as a survivor main about the DS nerf, but now I think they should make sure that every game has an obsession. It doesn't hurt anybody to have an obsession in game (even without obsession based perks), and especially now when DS will be used less and less there will be games with no obsession and the killer has green light for hardcore tunneling.

  • Exactly the same thing happened to me in Coal Tower. Cleansed a totem on the hill and got stuck just like in your pictures.
