Since english isn't my native language it's a bit hard for me to say what I think really, and to write in general. When I was playing him, I was almost 4k every game, event around r1, because of his size he can mindgame really well, but that doesn't mind he is balanced and fun (as/against).
IMO, he can't be simply tweaked, his power give him nothing except aura reading which is the main reason why survivors hate him. (or maybe I forgot something, I'm really tired so)
When I talk about map pressure it's more about "The ability to stop a gen effectivly" so that could have been misinterpreted. With every killers who have a terror radius, survivors will leave the generator quicker (yeah sprint burst), but nobody will do this against freddy, because of his 7sec delay, and yes that can lead to generator grab with some add-ons, but this isn't really part of the balance IMO, even if it should be, but, add-ons.
My rework idea got a lot of issues, and it was just an idea that came out of my head and took me about 10 min to write itThe main idea I want to share is, even if it's my opinion, He can 4k, he can be really good with some perk, he can be really bad, and he is frustrating. (and I'm not talking about 80% of the players are bad even at r1, this shouldn't really be take into account)

I very much like playing the Nightmare, despite (or because of) his weakness: twice the challenge, twice the satisfaction! And people out there who keep demanding a buff for him seem to forget one thing: although he's probably the one killer with the most 0K games, he also has great potential for turning a 2K into a 4K. Without Deerstalker or other perks, it's very hard for a killer to get the fourth survivor when the third one gets his/her final hook. But not Freddy. With him, it's a stroll on the beach. Aside for some minor changes (like making it harder to use SC to wake up), I don't think it's a good idea to do a complete rework on him.
If there's a real unanimous view that he needs some stronger buffs, I think some penalty for being repeatedly pulled into the Dream World may be ok, similar to what you suggested here; but I'd say Exposed is way too much. MAYBE with some pink addon, but not by default.
Some killers are just weaker than others. Instead of asking for buffs, enjoy the occasional success with those ones.
That's just my opinion though.
I was a Freddy main, and I was thinking the same thing, but, how many time did you play against Freddy ? Tbh I'm pretty sure the devs have taken the worst ideas they had to make his power
His power isn't that bad prenerf, just needed certain things like no gen progress while asleep and can't interact during dream transition to do channeling actions besides hook save. Pre patch his slug game was strong, asleep survivors could not pick up downed survivors because you had to wake people up before healing them up, and sleep cant wake the sleep. Him being invisible does not break the game, you hear his footsteps, his blades, see grass moving, you have lullaby, within the lullaby you know or should know to get to a safe loop spot because he has to wait 7 seconds after finding you to strike. Fun fact, you can loop and vault when he finds you, since you aren't in a chase the vault counts for the entity block doesn't start until you're fully asleep. Most people I see, they lose to freddy because they hear him coming and either dont hide or hide where there are no pallets in the corner. Survivor mistakes. I main freddy, and most survivors aren't encouraged to think about timing because they have sprint burst to run last second. People get caught be freddy because of the reliance on sprint burst. With windows of opportunity out, you can know ahead of time if you're running into a dead zone. With lullaby and sleep time, you have at least 10 seconds to find a safe place, and with opening exit gates, if the 7 seconds doesnt sleep you by the time the door opens you leave.
His power was bad since release, yes he was a really good slugger, but you need to think about both side, and his power can't be tweak to be fun playing as and against him.
I'm not talking about "He is invisible, he is op!", but more because of his invisibility, he lack of pressure (no terror radius [Same goes for wraith and tinkerer if you're a little bit to far away] and his 7secs)tbh I feel like you're thinking too much as a killer, you need to think about both side when balancing

I like the ideas. Thematically this a massive improvement on his kit the micro sleeps (hallucinations) are a welcome change. Self care has to be changed tho its too much of a meta perk for Freddy to overcome the ease at which survivors exit the dream world.Actually for this rework self-care can stay as is it, because the more quicker you wake up, the more quicker you will be exposed, and maybe even more

I like current Freddy moreUhhh? Really?

Here's my ideas for Freddy:*Survivors affected while transitioning to the dream world will have a chance to affect nearby survivors with Dream Demon within 5 meters.
*Activating Dream Demon on a awake survivor will disrupt any current action being performed and delay actions from being performed for 3 seconds (except running, vaulting, throwing pallets).
*Failing healing skill checks will not remove the survivor from the dream world.
*Chance for generator skill checks to occur while in dream world slightly decreased.
*"wake up" increased by 3 seconds.Buffing him isn't the right decision IMO? he will still be frustrating

Being visible while awake breaks the mythologyBut being invisible breaks the game, at least the way he is right now

I'm pretty sure it will be ghostface /s

The message was probably "EAC client cannot be instantiated", this bug is here for a while and will stay forever imo, since EAC need to access low-level stuff, idk more but I don't think that can be countered other than releasing a linux version
-
It was probably just a "bug fix" or something they forgot while rushing Freddy's release

Actually I didn't do any research, I just still see some people think that is related to the next chapter.
I'm just too lazy to read all comments xD
