  I've been playing DOOM Eternal on Xbox One since it came out and I've come to find that this game proves BHVR either doesn't know what they are doing or are willfully ignoring optimizing DBD for consoles.

  For those that haven't played, DOOM Eternal runs at a butter smooth 60 FPS in 1080p (on Xbox, can't comment on PS). This game is unarguably WAY more graphically intensive than DBD. Yet DOOM Eternal runs flawlessly, with no frame drops, stutters, screen tearing, or any other kind of graphical hitches. This proves to me that literally ANY game should be able to run just as well on console.

  And before anyone says "well DOOM Eternal is a different engine" I'd like to bring up a second game that also runs flawlessly... Gears of War. Specifically 4 and 5 because these games can run at 4k/ 60 FPS nearly flawlessly as well (only having issues during Horde when there is an ass ton of action happening, and even then it's very little). Gears of War runs on Unreal Engine, which is the same engine used in DBD. Again, the game is way more graphically intensive than DBD. So no, it's not a case of the engine, it's 100% the developers failing to optimize the game.

  Now I am not trying to bash BHVR. I get it, game development is tough, especially when you have to make the game for multiple platforms. But things on Xbox (and PS from what I hear) have been steadily getting worse over the last year. It's to the point that sometimes the game is flat out unplayable on console.

  I'm tired of being silent on this issue, the console community needs to step up and make our voice heard.

  DBD is in a DESPERATE need of a performance health check on consoles. There is no excuse anymore when there are examples of several other games with much better graphics that can run near perfectly. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of a crappy 30 FPS. I'm sick of frame drops every time there is a notification. I'm sick of the game just running like complete crap when I know for a FACT it could run just fine on my Xbox.

  BHVR you guys need to get your act together here. This has been an ongoing problem and it's not getting better. You've said that optimization upgrades are coming but they never got here. It's been 2 years. Players on Xbox are quitting the game and a big reason is because the game just runs like crap (the other reason being the awful matchmaking).

  And we know cross play is coming. You can sit there and say "we haven't announced anything" until you are blue in the face, but we know it is. There are videos of PC and PS players in the same game. The features exists, and other games have made it a thing. So since it is inevitable, true optimization is absolutely necessary. Unlike a shooter like Overwatch, using a mouse/keyboard or controller doesn't make much of a difference, if at all, for either side. The only time it would matter is if you play Nurse or Huntress. So in terms of crossplay, PC isn't going to have a massive advantage in that area. But they WILL have a massive advantage when it comes to performance. Being able to play the game at 60 FPS or higher against players that can barely get 30 FPS is going to be the deal breaker. If you implement crossplay without optimizing the game to run as flawlessly on console as it does on PC you will just kill the console communities. PERIOD.

  Please BHVR take this seriously. Put more resources into the game's development on console. We need this desperately. Leaving the game in this state is no longer an option. We need fixes NOW, not in another year. Every DLC. Every patch. It gets worse, not better. There can be no more excuses. DOOM Eternal runs perfectly, DBD should too. I know it should, but it doesn't and that breaks my heart. I really enjoy this game, but it's becoming harder and harder to stomach the performance issues. It's to a point where I actively avoid playing despite wanting to just because I don't want to deal with it. I'd rather play a game that's less fun and WORKS than DBD.

  Let me just reiterate one last time, I'm not trying to bash BHVR or anything. I just want them to do what they should have done a year ago. What they said they were going to do. It's ridiculous at this point. I don't want any more excuses, I want results.

  He said everything but most likely they will ignore what you said since it has been a long time since they promise the optimization for the consoles and never bring. They don't even want to test console updates, they can be sure, and they already want to bring crossplay

  They should just add K&M support, then they don't need to increase the sensitivity

  it would be better to increase the sensitivity, not everyone has a mouse and keyboard
