    I assume this CPU should be able to work with a 6 GB VRAM card? Or should I rather stick with a 4 GB VRAM one? I'll do some shopping tomorrow and I'd appreciate any recommendations.

    I currently have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 which came with my computer.

    The actual chip of the GPU is what matters more, most modern cards will come with at least 6GB of VRAM and the ones that only have 4 are best avoided imo, unless you really are on a budget. I would avoid the 10xx series cards now and look at a 2060 minimum, 2070 if you can afford it

    But there is no getting away from the fact your CPU is very weak, so ultimately you are going to really look at a new system. But for gaming your GPU is always the most important factor, though CPU can have more or less importance depending on the game (flight sims or games with complex telemetry etc will be more CPU heavy than basic RPG or FPS type games like Doom etc). DBD does like a decent CPU that is for sure but even with a fast 8 core it still stutters and performs badly at times...

    The 1050 was always an awful GPU in all honesty, so if you got by with it for all these years then you did well. Ideally it is time to upgrade but if you really can only do one thing I would say GPU first, as most games are harder on the GPU than CPU.

    To be fair, my 2 GB VRAM card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050) was able to play RE7 and the RE2+3 remakes with no issues. So I'm quite confused why a game from 2016 (DbD) is causing such issues, the game simply has to be extremely unoptimized.

    I'm currently looking into upgrade options but I'm not sure if they will work. I assume a DDR3 mainboard would still run with modern graphics cards (GDDR5/6) as long as the thing fits in there?

    Yes but the RE games are not that demanding and you have to remember they are scripted so can be well optimised very easily. They were never very demanding and I remember playing RE7 on my GTX970 at 1440p (using DSR at the time) with no problems.

    You have to remember that DBD has had a graphical upgrade since it was released, as hardware has improved dramatically since 2016. The UE4 engine it runs on was never kind to weaker hardware but at some point the game needed to update its look (whether you like the aesthetic decisions or not) to keep up with next gen consoles etc.

    Yes of course you can upgrade your graphics card using older motherboard chipsets, the only thing to watch out for is that you aren't buying a GPU that is too powerful for your CPU, otherwise it is just wasted money. But even then it wont hurt, it just isn't good value.

  • Yeah the game can feel pretty rough as killer, especially the M1 killers. It feels like a hopeless 'set up to fail' kinda thing a lot of the time, unless the survivors are absolutely clueless and/or not in a SWF.

    The trouble is that this pandering the the survivor majority has had an unpleasant side effect; in making the killers experience feel hopeless it has resulted in many killers resorting to very unfun tactics like tunnelling off hook /hard camping survivors out of the game so they have better odds.

    Playing like this used to be frowned upon and wasn't that common but now it is ubiquitous and the result is that survivors are also not having much fun due to killers playing in a way many probably don't want to.

    Something has to change that is for sure

    I don't think that telling people to upgrade to 2022 technology in order to play a 2016 game is a good argument

    My PC is pretty good: Ryzen 7 3700x, Nvidia rtx 2700 super, SSD M2 drive, 32GB 3600MHz ram. I still get stuttering and frame drops, at any quality. This is a game problem, not a PC problem

    I never once mentioned 2022 technology, I also said the game is not well optimised at all (I have a 5800x and 3080Ti and also get bad FPS drops on maps like RPD for example). However any graphics card with only 2GB of VRAM is very out of date and will struggle in many games, not just DBD. I can't think of a recent 2GB GPU so I assume it is something really old like a GTX 950 or something REALLY bad like a 1030.

    The OP can still upgrade their GPU with something from the used market and if they are still on a card with 2GB of VRAM then pretty much anything fairly recent will be an upgrade.

    FPS drops happen to all of us no matter how strong your PC is but you can at least get a fairly good experience with a newer card with more than 2GB VRAM as 2GB just doesn't cut it and hasn't really for years now.

  • I don't understand how your motherboard cant use a faster GPU "due it being a DDR3 device"? That doesn't make much sense but I do understand it does limit how much of an upgrade makes sense as you don't want to bottleneck a new GPU.

    If you are still running a GPU of any kind with 2GB of VRAM, it really is time to think about upgrading as it is only going to get worse from here. DBD isn't the most optimised game I will grant you that but you will find many games are going to give you problems with such a small amount of VRAM so you cant really blame DBD for that.

    Time to upgrade or you just have to live with it I am afraid

  • It is a hard one if you are not a Nurse main as she isn't a killer you can just pick up and get perfect matches with

  • It is survivor sided IF the survivors know what they are doing. If every lobby was filled with skilled players most killers would have zero chance as the game is clearly balanced around new/casual players. Killers need to be strong in a 1v1 as the game is obviously a 4vs1 and survivors are given so many resources and perks to help it can become quite unfair if those survivors are on comms and are experienced on top of that.

    Most survivors are average to bad which makes playing killer tolerable but I think we have all played many killer games where it feels like it is just hopeless as gens go so fast and every survivor knows how to give you a hard time.

    Obviously SWF just makes this problem even worse for killers and can make for a pretty miserable time. Though as killer you probably win more often than not, the experiences where you feel hopeless tend to stick in your mind longer and even more so when the survivors are toxic and go out of their way to make your experience unfun

  • @Phasmamain said:

    Has and always will be trickster. Every chase is just “he dies because we’re at a low wall loop” or “we’re at a high wall loop time to hit 2 knives per rotation until they drop pallet”.

    Yeah I cant stand Trickster either, though Twins is arguably worse for me as every match is played in the most horribly unfun way (slug, camp)

  • Every time I play Myers I always think to myself 'this killer is so OP, can't believe he hasn't been nerfed yet'

  • It isn't that he is strong, it is that he is very annoying and not at all fun to me personally. I don't like his mechanics and matches against him are something to endure and get through asap rather than enjoy. Same with Trickster for me, not an OP killer but I hate everything about his design and his spamming knives mechanic is not my idea of fun to go against. Kinda puts me in mind of OG Legion - very unfun

  • It sucks but the reality is you cannot make others play a match they don't want to (I mained Nurse for my killer when I was still playing). If people want out they will get out of the match as fast as they possibly can and all measures introduced only delay that.

    I personally like facing Nurse as I understand her but some don't and I do understand that. I feel the same against killers I find unfun like Twins or Trickster etc.

    I got to the point where I barely reacted to my team mates quitting on hook or outright DCing... as it happens so often and there is not much you can do about it. Sucks but oh well...

  • Yeah loading up killer makes my anxiety instantly shoot up, I don't get that with survivor. So I stopped playing altogether as killer is too frustrating and stressful and the tunnel/camp meta is the result and it makes playing survivor very unfun now too

  • This is the way the devs made the game, most people who aren't absolutely sweaty psychos don't actually want to play like this and would rather have a fun time where everyone enjoys themselves. However if you try to be 'nice' as killer in this current state of the game, you just get bullied, teabagged at the exit and abused by survivors when you inevitably lose.


    Survivors cried and cried and the devs gave them what they wanted and killers adapted as a result. Though I am a survivor main myself I would say to all the survivors who cried instead of improving - be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

  • I get it, at times the game can feel pretty hopeless when you are playing killer. The 3rd time in a row you get the meat plant when playing say Trapper can make you feel like 'what is the point?'

    The game is very survivor sided unless the survivors are new or stupid and with RNG usually favouring survivors (along with all the 2nd chance perks and COH etc) I think some people just give up even trying as it feels like you are set up to fail as killer.

    I totally get it and I was just letting everyone go at one point as I didn't want to sweat. I just tried to land every blink (Nurse main) and work on my predictions/reads and let everyone go at the end.

  • I miss the old Coldwind, I hated what they did to them with the rework. Why tf are they now in the middle of the day?! The old Coldwind maps has so much more character and ambience with them being at night (as you would expect in a horror game) and with their golden them.

    I actually don't mind the other reworks though as I don't think they dramatically changed the whole feel of the maps that much but Coldwind... ugh, they ruined it

  • I stopped playing as it felt as killer that the game is very survivor sided and the main reason you have a chance as killer is RNG or the survivors are just not very experienced so you can take advantage of that. As survivor I got sick to death of camping and tunnelling and very unfun killers like Trickster or Pinhead, along with the endless Blights as well.

    The excessive number of perks in the game that keeps on increasing makes it very overwhelming for new players and even at 2.5k hours I find it a lot to keep track of.

    The toxicity of the community, particularly survivors, was really the final straw for me. I am a survivor main but I liked to play some killer too, however the ######### killers have to put up with from survivors is unbelievable and makes it hard to want to subject yourself to that by choice.

    I may return as I have quit for nearly a year in the past but at this point I cant bring myself to play DBD, new chapter or BP events are not even enough to make me want to.

  • I think you may find that at least some of them want to play killer but they have pretty much given up. Many maps are very survivor sided and with things like COH it can feel hopeless as killer.

  • No, not at all tbh. More happy to see Nurse back and hopefully fixed (this time)

  • I think if you truly hate a game it is extremely difficult no matter how much time/money you have sunk into it. I have thousands of hours in DBD and I would say hundreds of dollars spent (I actually don't regret that as I had fun at the time) but I can't bring myself to play this game at present. A BP event isn't even enough to entice me at this time, though I may well play it again another time.

    The toxicity of the community and the issues with the game get too much for me personally

  • @Veinslay said:

    You'd think if they could put all that effort into making sure the server recognizes the E to outplay, they could do other checks too. Cheating is fun for survivors tho so they dont care

    Yeah I don't get why they cannot detect stuff like this as it happens. Such as when I play Rust and if someone breaks the rules of the game physics such as flying they get instantly kicked for fly hacks as the anti cheat seems to know 'hey you cant do that!' and instantly kicks the player.

    However with DBD it seems DH with no DH, insta repeated unbreakables, speed hacks and flying don't trigger any response from the anti cheat. How tf is this the case?!

  • Huntress is one of or the is the most selected killer and facing her over and over becomes extremely tedious. I don't like ranged attacks in general and while Huntress can be very easy to loop due to her slow base movement speed, BS hits around corners etc are all too common as hitboxes are too big.

    It is generally an unpopular opinion I think as the reaction to my dislike of Huntress is generally surprise and negative overall.

    I personally do not enjoy versing or playing Huntress

  • Yeah I hear you, I am done for the time being as well

  • My last two killer games I decided to play Trapper (I main Nurse normally) as I like playing less sweaty killers. Both my last two matches in a row I got the meat plant - not fun for Trapper in general.

    My last match I got survivors that just pre-dropped pallets and teabagged at EVERY pallet and spent the entire match focused on BMing me and making the game as frustrating and unfun as possible. I didn't play well or smart admittedly, as I didn't split pressure and kept chasing for too long as I was tilted by the behaviour of these survivors. But as any M1 killer on the meat plant the sheer number of safe pallets makes this a very unfun experience.

    Post match I got the typical "ggez baby killer" which I only saw as I had to ask politely how old they were (I normally close chat) as I was pretty sure they had to be children based on their immature toxic conduct.


    This was actually two weeks ago and I have not played killer again since. I tried survivor twice and got Blight... so I have not played survivor either.

    I have said I am done with this game before so I am not going to say I am definitely done for good but I feel pretty done for the present moment, that is for sure.

  • Yeah it is insanely frustrating, though nothing good usually comes from opening chat anyway, it can be very frustrating trying to communicate as so many words are inexplicably verboten. I wish it was optional as I am a big kid now and I can handle naughty words and don't need censorship to protect hurt feelings.

  • This isn't taking the game hostage, it is very unfun and a crappy way to play but you will bleed out in 4 minutes

    Me, playing during the day with instant survivor queues:

    That has always been the case, survivor queues are faster during the day but slower during peak hours (and getting ever slower).


    @Tsulan said:

    I mean, with Nurse gone. High mmr survivors are finally able to enjoy 50 shades of Blight.

    Lol so true, was already getting sick of Blight and rarely saw Nurse as it was...

  • I cant bring myself to play killer any more personally and Nurse is my main. I try to play less sweaty killers (I like Trapper) but then I just get maps like the meat plant with a million pallets that toxic survivors teabag at every one of. Playing more 'fun' killers in a non toxic way is often not fun or worth the misery imo.

    The killers that are still playing are often either noobs who don't know better so matches are really easy, or they are the sweat lord Blights. face camping Bubbas or the unfun Pinheads, Twins or Tricksters. Finding it really hard to have fun in DBD at present so not playing for a bit

  • BT and Kindred if you really want to play entirely with solo queue in mind. But who wants to run Kindred all the time when you have meta perks like DS etc? BT is great no matter what as it ensures you always get the safe save and it can really help in difficult situations

  • He is incredibly annoying and unfun to go against, the chains are an irritating mechanic and trying to deal with the box in solo queue is beyond frustrating.

  • Yes I got around 7k which is a pleasant surprise as I feel I have barely ever played Bubba

  • They aren't OP but they can be annoying to deal with some of the time. However players who bring in flashlights often waste a lot of time trying to get blinds and will take very stupid risks to do so. I would rather a lobby with flashlights than all toolboxes so they can 'outplay' me with their M1 pressing skills. Medkits used to be a threat too but with COH it no longer matters much as free fast heals are in most matches anyway...

  • I just don't think it could provide enough of a challenge if you are experienced at that game. Believe me, after the BS I had to put up with this week when I tried to play killer, I would gladly face bot survivors as at least they just play the game rather than behave like toxic morons.

    But sadly I just think it is beyond the capability of the AI to provide an exciting and interesting challenge. But it may be okay for a quick practice or something so I am not at all opposed to the idea as an option.

  • They do still have a problem sadly but they seem to now be the more insidious type of stealth cheater. If you aren't experienced you may not even notice that they cannot be mind gamed or have subtle 5% or so speed boosts etc. But the cheaters definitely are still in the game and there are still a lot of them.

    I had lucky games with her where I landed all my hits and other games where I couldn't down anyone I don't like playing her anymore at all

    Well this is the difference between a good Nurse and everyone else, a good Nurse consistently lands hits and it takes a long time to get to that stage. Your average survivor is easy to down as they are predictable but once you start facing good ones Nurse becomes very difficult and most people stop playing her as you did.

    But if you want to down survivors fast, Nurse is the best but there is no easy road with her.

  • The reality is you cannot force people to play in matches they don't want to play in. I get it ruins games but the penalty doesn't deter someone who really wants out and I doubt BHVR wants to increase them, as this will just mean less people playing more often. So I am sure it is a fine line for them.

    But if someone wants out and they cant DC, they will just kill themselves on hook anyway

  • No killer ends chases faster than Nurse, so regardless of whether you hate playing her or not Nurse can end chases faster than any killer hands down.

    What i meant was if i have a short game, or a bad game, i know queue is short so i can move on quick. No biggie. Yeah its more fun playing killer regardless. Depends on your gameplay style. I feel sorry for survivors. Id hate to wait in long queue for short games.

    Yeah I get what you meant but it comes down to quantity over quality. I am a survivor main and I really only play killer when I get sick of waiting or now just to get rank 1 Iri for the BP, but I would still rather wait than endure back to back frustration of playing killer.

    Don't get me wrong it isn't all bad as in all honesty most survivors are not that good. But some days killer is just hell and I regret even trying

    Killers having a short queue isn´t really an appealing reason to play killer tbh.

    Yeah so I can quickly not have fun back to back... hmm, not really a tempting proposition tbh lol

  • @KolbyKolbyKolby said:

    I mean he constantly throws a fit because he doesn't understand how the game works and rages because he loses due to his own mistakes, so it fits the bill of the killer mains here.

    His experience was a great insight into the experience of a new person playing killer though. As of course they wont understand what happened half the time as there are so many perks and third chances for survivors there is no way they can know what is happening. I honestly had never heard of this guy til I saw a YT vid showing his early killer experience and I just felt bad for him and any other person just starting out on killer

  • @some_guy1 said:

    it's a visual bug, it should revert to normal after playing a single match

    Oh you are right thankfully! I want my 1 mill payout damn it 🤑

  • All I can say is I am sick to death of Blight... I no longer ever see Nurse but I see Blight all the time and it is getting beyond monotonous. I thought Blight was a harder killer to play than Nurse (I dunno, I never play him) but it seems there are plenty of people who can play Blight but very few who are actually good with Nurse.

    I wish they would at least nerf Alchemist Ring as that ######### is clearly broken and it makes no sense Clown gets nerfed but that gets left alone

  • No, I get killer games instantly most of the time but have to wait forever for survivor matches

  • yeah this needs to go live asap, the current broken perk situation cannot continue. Killers are not playing and my queue times are depressingly long :(

  • I am a survivor main who played a lot of killer due to queue times but I haven't been able to play killer lately for my own sanity.

    I tried to get a match playing survivor today but the wait was so long I gave up and decided I would resort to killer. But I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I end up just not playing at all.

    They really need to improve the killer experience as I am sick of queues that are so long I give up trying. Please come back killers, I don't teabag or BM and just want fun chases, I don't even care if I die at the end so long as the chases are fun!

  • Hell yes I dodge

    Freddy is not "fine", matey, you should take that back. He is EXTREMELY boring to play as, there is nothing unique about him.

    He is extremely boring to go against too, so I guess he is consistent there? 😜

  • God no, he is still boring asf to go against and that will just make him even worse. He was already a brainless killer before they finally nerfed him and removing any requirement for him to get his power would return him to that state. Freddy is fine as he is and is far less of a chore to go against than he was (but still a chore).

    Maybe they enjoy seeing the queue times rise?

    Mate, don't get me started. I am still trying to cope with wondering how on earth this insane perk buff made it to live servers in the first place...

  • They had them when they first nerfed her and added recharge but it was very annoying and they removed it. The more you play you get used to knowing when your blinks are recharged and as a Nurse main I don't want the annoying sound back personally
