Does it happen with any other games? Is your PS4 used or refurbished? Those could be factors. I hope the issue goes away. It seems that no matter how hard you try to play the game something keeps stopping you.
I only have one other game which is single player and it doesn't happen with that. I'm the original owner, I bought it in 2018, played it a few times and then didn't touch it again. I just hooked it back up for DBD.
Do you play on PS4?

My game keeps crashing on PS4 leading to stacking DC penalties but I did manage to get maybe 6 SoloQ matches in.
I had the displeasure of watching 3 Survivors grief a Dwight on his cage hook until he died by teabagging him and repeatedly grabbing to pull him out, then stop.
I tried to get him but the 3 players bodyblocked the cage and they just kept spam activating the unhook action then canceling it.
Edit: I misread the topic, this was my SoloQ Survivor experience.

🤨 Stacking DC penalties, eh? 🤔 Are you sure it's not from DC'ing after seeing Pig who isn't running distressing? 🧐😋
I'm hoping it's just the fault of the last patch causing the crashes. Do you play on ps4? Have you been crashing? I'm so upset that after finally crossing over this is happening and locking matchmaking for me 😒

There are two takeaways I have so far:
Killers teaming up is a bad idea
Trapper is surprisingly good in this mode as he can quickly snowball more effectively with survivors being less conscious of checking for traps
I just played as Trapper and you're right. I got so many Survivors trapped, I couldn't believe it. It was total chaos but fun too. @HexHuntressThighs and I got an 8K.
Some survivors were lagging pretty bad too, they were down to one generator, good plays and everything but yeah, they weren't mindful of traps.

I love both roles but prefer the Killer role so I’ll give my compliments to Survivors.
Survivors… I love you all. You always help me complete challenges, are usually down to be silly, all while putting up with the most nasty Killer players out there. Survivors don’t get enough credit for what they bring to the game, even if it is just themselves sometimes.
Oh, and if you like both roles and don’t “main” one side then you don’t get off the hook so easily. You have to say something nice about both roles! 💐
I will second your compliment to both sides in that once they catch on that you have a Daily Ritual or Glyph Challenge, they will usually help you out.
I always get lucky when I get the Huntress one that people let me hit them.
Then there's the Wesker who plays for 12 hooks and still allows you to get your Glyph before taking you to your final hook.
I remember a Huntress hooking and sacrificing everyone in the basement. I knew she must have had a basement sacrifice challenge as she struggled to get everyone down there.
When the Hatch spawned, I instead fast vaulted at the killer shack so she could get me in. She had such a grateful nod 🤗

Originally, for Killer Perks in the Shrine.
Then, I went exclusively cosmetics until about 24 hours ago.
I wanted to get off Nintendo Switch but our DLC doesn't transfer
I had roughly 94,000 shards 24 hours ago but because I had to repurchase characters, I'm down to roughly 14,000

I don't play at night and that's when killer switches to 100% incentive on my end. Usually around 9.30pm. I usually play from 10am to midday and it's always survivor 100% so that's what I tend to stick with. I'd play killer more if the incentive was there during the day but at the moment it's really only the Tome/Rift that incentivizes me.
Yup, I play Survivor by day and Killer by night. It's always 💯 Killer incentive for me at 8pm est.
Tonight, I'm playing Onyro, Chucky (his daily ritual is impossible for me!) then some Freddy and Wesker.

I had a Huntress use it today! I've been thinking about trying it myself on her since she has to open lockers anyway.

@JPLongstreet said:
I do wish there weren't "mains" of either role, those who only play one side pretty much exclusively. If all players played both roles to at least a competent level, not only would they find themselves better at their preferred side, but also understanding, compassion, and empathy for everyone would increase as a result.
This is 💯 true. I'm a Bloodpoints main. I play whichever side has the incentive. It helps me understand both sides and get better at both sides. I've expanded my Killers that I'm playing over the anniversary. Having a lot of fun.

Oh, I totally follow this. I've been in all kinds of discussion spaces that ranged from highly aggressive (moreso than this forum is) to total hugboxes. Some places are so aggressively sanitized that no meaningful discourse can be had in them; some moderation is so kid-gloves proactive that it locks things down at the first hint of people disagreeing with each other. Like, I'm gonna out myself and use Archive of Our Own as an example, where if you say you enjoyed someone's writing for X Y and Z reasons but you think they could have improved W, you'll be called out for disrupting a positive space. Legitimately had people whole-ass flip out on me for unsolicited spellchecking before.
I don't mind things getting heated. I'm very guilty of it. But there's good arguing and bad arguing - longposts of reasoning and examples-counterexamples are good discourse that can contribute to understanding and improved game health, but on the other hand you get people responding to topics with "that's just because you're bad" or "you would think that, survivor/killer main" and "who cares about X when survivors/killers can do Y" and all kinds of ad hominems and strawmen that don't contribute to game health in any way.
Open discussion is good, but that doesn't make every part of it equally valuable.
Valid points.

Yes, that's normal. PlayStation takes forever to do some updates as it makes a copy of the game. It also means you need to leave a lot of unused space on the drive or else updates can't install.
My First Killer game on PS4 and I get this. Is this common?
-
I get your point, but there is a good side to it that I don't see mentioned.
The intense passion for this game is something we all share and if we didn't, the game would not be going on 9 years.
The comments get heated from forum members (myself included). But that's why we have mods to moderate and stop inappropriate escalation.
If there was zero arguing, that would actually be a negative sign for the health of the game.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter which side (if not both) you play. We are all still here because of our love for the game. Killers wouldn't exist without Survivors and Survivors wouldn't exist without Killers.
I've been here a year and I love the community that I'm a part of as much as the game itself. I think in the end it is healthy for players to vent and open discussion.
I've thought about mentioning this for a while and your post seemed like a good place.

Is this the norm for PS4? Today's update is "copying" something and it's taking quite a bit of time. Well past 10 minutes. Just curious as I'm new to Playstation.

I finally bit the bullet and transferred off of Nintendo Switch. I Spent as much as I could repurchasing characters with Shards, but still ended up having to spend over $100 on characters.
I know PS4 is last generation, but wow! Coming off of 4 years playing Nintendo Switch in Docked Mode, it looks and feels amazing to me!
The only thing I'm struggling with is the controller because I'm so used to using the Switch Pro Controller which has the left thumb stick in a different place and also the "confirm" and "cancel" buttons are swapped so that's my biggest hurdle lol
All in all, I'm really glad that the devs made this happen 🙌 🙏
I was so on edge seeing the sparks during generator repair and the flashing red exit gate lights 😆 We don't have those effects on Switch
It'll be quite a bit until I can afford a PS5, but I'm so happy that I have good graphics and performance now!
I hope everyone that is using cross-progression is as happy (if not more so) than me 🤗

@TragicSolitude said:
For years, the Switch port and DLC were sold to Switch players with the promise that cross-progression is coming and will include the transfer of DLC. Some Switch players purchased the game and DLC because of that promise and would not have done so otherwise.
Cross-progression for Switch was announced back in July 2020.
Stated here: "We are thrilled to announce that we are preparing the first steps toward Cross-Progression and that it will be available for Steam, Google Stadia and Nintendo Switch in September! Players will be able to share their progression, purchases, and inventory on those 3 platforms – Exceptions might have to be made to accommodate for some external licensing needs."News from 2021 is still available online, both on the live site
https://deadbydaylight.com/news/nintendo-switch-joins-cross-progression/
and on Archive.org and states: "your character progression, DLCs, and purchased or unlocked items will all be available to you." (The emphasis added is my own.)The release of cross-progression for Switch was pushed back multiple times, but no update stating "DLC will not be included" has ever been made.
Questions about cross-progression were rarely answered, but when they were, the response was: "I'm sorry but there is no further update on Cross Progression at the present time." (quoted from Reddit 10 months ago). No updates. No changes.
BHVR has, for four years, claimed that Nintendo Switch players will get to keep their DLC. When they have given updates, they have not revised their statement.
Whether or not BHVR has any control over the change, it was BHVR who made statements about DLC transferring: BVHR has a responsibility to make sure information they share with customers is correct and to make things right for their customers when it is incorrect. If they made a promise they can't deliver on, that's on BHVR, they advertised this feature to their customers. As is, BHVR's statements about cross-progression misrepresented their capabilities and misrepresented the product they were selling.
Switch players gave money, time, and an unreasonable amount of patience as they dealt with the never ending performance issues. The number of customers who would not have purchased DbD on Switch if the cross-progression statement had not been made is high. Customers spent money based on faulty information. I did not purchase the chapters on Switch just to play half the chapter; killer has been unplayable for me, but even though I can only play half the game I still paid the same as everyone else.
The money spent by Switch players is just as important and holds the same value as the money spent by players on other platforms. For years, we have paid the same as everyone else (or more, when compared to PC) for an inferior product. Many of us did it because you, BHVR, made the statement that DLC would transfer to other platforms with cross-progression.
What is being done to make sure Switch players have access to the cross-progression function that encouraged them to purchase DLC for the platform with the worst performance? Because right now, we're being told we're not receiving the product for which we paid, and that's not acceptable.
I feel your pain but this honestly makes complete sense. Nintendo 4 years ago didn't have a new console about to be announced.
There's no reason to risk losing a customer to a competitor if their next gen console is literally months away from being announced.
Most Nintendo players are loyal anyway for the exclusives (Mario, Zelda, DK, Pokémon) and didn't buy a Switch for DBD.
They want players to stay with Nintendo and my hope is that we will get an upgrade of the game the same way PS and XBOX players did.
I don't know if Bhvr would make a Switch 2 upgrade or not though and even if they were working on one, they would have an iron clad NDA not to tell us as Nintendo hasn't formally revealed the Switch successor.
I personally have decided to completely stop playing and purchasing DLC until an announcement from both companies are made.
After today's Livestream, where a developer stated despite their best efforts, 2v8 has performance issues on Switch, there is no other rational choice.
There's no point investing time and money in something that could be discontinued so near in the future.
It's not even beating around the bush that bhvr isn't going to be able to support the Switch port for much longer at this point and Switch has lost 2 live service games in the past year.
You can skip to 1:32:00 and see the devs talking about Switch performance today with the new mode:
https://www.youtube.com/live/QEe2ZZnKy08?si=IGaBYbuiLsg1V5BL
I do understand your frustration, I'm not thrilled as I've bought every dlc and $500 of auric cells but this is the reality.

I play both sides and I also feel like the generators fly too fast when I'm playing Killer. Ae survivor, it feels the opposite most of the time.
I'm wondering if it's possible certain generators on certain maps are bugged, causing their repair speeds to be just a little faster or slower.
I can't time it, but when playing Survivor, there's times I'm doing a generator by myself and it's obviously progressing faster that the last one I did for example.
This is happening while I'm healthy but using the perk Resilience, which is inactive when healthy.
If you all could please humor me and when playing Survivor next time, for a decent 4 or 5 hour session, let me know if you notice this.
It also seems some generators move slower too but the increased speed is more noticeable than decreased.
I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibilities since generators are indeed bugged on certain sides where Killers can't kick them.
I always thought this was just perception from each role, but as Survivor, you can *feel* for lack of a better word that a generator is progressing a bit faster sometimes (slower too, but to a lesser extent).
There's definitely an issue with Prove Thyself not activating, I've reported it. Neither the purple perk light window, nor the little buff icon appears on certain generators in a trial, while others it does.

The situation is out of control. If you play SoloQ or Killer, it's the same bizarre behavior of giving up or at the start of the trial the Survivors drop their item and point to a hook. Wild times indeed. I became so miserable in SoloQ that I switched exclusively to Killer and I'm just as frustrated.

Honestly it’s how it should be considering 99% of Hex perks are garbage and no one uses them. The whole point to Hexes were that they were insanely strong but fragile. But 3/4 of them are garbage AND fragile.
I personally am terrified of Hex: Huntress Lullaby. The second I get that notification, I go search for the totem.
I can't function knowing it's in play. Most maps, I can find totems extremely easily but I still struggle massively with Midwitch, Gideon and especially Backwater Swamp.

@Blueberry said:
Honestly if picking up an item and placing it in a corner is too difficult of counter play we’re never going to be able to have anything that requires counter play. This is as easy as it gets. I can’t believe this is even a topic honestly.
People that think the only counter play is to not bring items I think is being extremely disingenuous and not honest. There is very clear counter play.
Not in SoloQ. We have no control over what our teammates bring nor what they do with the item.
If my 3 teammates all get hit in the middle of the map in the beginning of the game because the Killer had Lethal Presuer, it's game over.
There's no realistic way to know where the items were dropped, look for them, then run them to the edge of the map.
The edges of the map are also where most people hide to heal so then the Killer gets 'A Nurse's Calling' for free.
Before I stopped bringing items, I couldn't even find my own dropped item because there's usually a chase and the odds you're going to remember exactly where you got hit are slim.
Even if you do, you go straight back into danger to go looking for it as your aura is revealed while you're within a certain range of it.
Assuming you can grab it and take it to an edge of the map, there's no way to communicate that to teammates that may go to that corner for a heal. They won't know until the debuff icon shows and it's too late. They are injured and now their aura is shown.
-
It is ridiculous because Survivors' items are not only rendered useless but are then turned on them as weapons.
Imagine a Survivor perk synergy that would remove your add-ons and benefit the Survivors.
It was so common during the event that now I just don't bring items. Then you start to wonder why even spend bloodpoints? Why even play if you're not going to use the bloodpoints?
It sends you down a dark rabbit hole and is honestly unhealthy for the game. Especially at a time of unprecedented DCs and Survivors giving up.
