    I feel you OP.

    The game is not bad looking, but the performance should be way better for it's graphics. I wonder if it's constant unnecessary checks making it run so bad, having like 50 lines of codes running each frame with no need really dumps the perfomance to hell, if thats what happening, they may need to rewrite the whole code again.

    I don't think we need so much content at this moment. They should release new chapters every 4-5 months for some time or skip one chapter to focus on improve the game health. Like they did with this last DLC: there's no new map because they're focusing on improve the current ones.

    Darn...

    I just played a couple matches. Good performance so far (on low medium though).

    I asked about the issue in tech support btw. They recommended setting -fullscreen as a launch option on steam if you´re on that platform. Helps a bit

    I just tried and I had three matches with nice results. I don't know at this moment if that trick helps, but thank you so much. My friend also says is having frame problems since the last two updates (RTX 2060).

    Nah no overclocking on my side. Temperature generation is bad as-is. I´m about to start the first matches of the day soon, maybe I´ll see a difference with todays patch. Have you tested if anything changed today yet? Patch notes claim at least the movement stuttering was adressed.

    I just played one match after the patch and it was when I died on second hook because someone cleansed a hex totem 🤣

    Yes. Among my peers are several "computer professionals" (I´m not exactly sure how to translate their professions to english, sry) that helped me to really get the most of my hardware setup. Before the recent update I played on max settings with great FPS, now I alternate between low and medium, hoping my graphic card doesn´t melt. Constantly forced to use max capacity.

    This helped lessen the framedrops and stuttering. They occured mostly at the start of matches, but also throughout.

    I overclocked my GPU (I don't know if you're talking about that) and I don't see any difference 😢 So I don't know what else to do. Looking for upgrading, but I can't afford it right know.

  • @Slashstreetboy said:

    I use the GTX 1050 as well. Game lobby takes up 97% capacity, it´s baffling.

    Are you having frame issues too? It's infuriating.

  • @APoipleTurtle said:

    I know they want to have some kind of interactive struggle phase for the survivors, but it would fix so many problems if it was made to not be so:

    • No more dying because a lag/latency issue misread a survivor's input and inadvertently finished the sacrifice
    • No more being sacrificed because your struggle button ceased to function
    • Survivors would no longer be able to self-sacrifice themselves early (this would be big for a lot of players)

    And probably other things I haven't considered yet. Though I think the Devs may have mentioned previously that they are considering how to improve this hook stage (there was a survey about it at one point), so we may see some meaningful changes within the coming months or year.

    I remember that survey. They will probably do something about it later than soon, I just hope it won't be skill checks like Pyramid cages. I think they just need to make it a passive thing or make it slower so you don't have to smash it that much, at least while they find another system.

  • @ABannedCat said:

    I have a GTX 1650, and I am playing on low graphics on 1080p, and when I get a Freddy on Ormond I have like 95% GPU usage. Its insane how horribely bad optimised this game is.

    I'm playing low too and 0 resolution settings even tho the Gefore Experience software says my optimal settings are medium graphics. With all the bugs, unbalance and optimization problems sometimes I want to stop playing for good despite I really like it. And let's not talk about potato teammates... 😓

  • Keeps happening just before last update release, so I don't think is fixed yet. I was leveling up a survivor and bought last item on bloodweb just when I found a match and I was stuck at that level. Couldn't change my character or even leave the lobby, I had to Alt+F4.

  • @Axe said:

    As a Freddy main I think the passive sleep could go away, Freddy should instead have to work for it. That would be more balanced imo

    I don't like the timer either. I think survivors should fall asleep if they spend a certain amount of time inside his lullaby.

  • @mintchapstick said:

    Yeah, I hate that. I do totems when I can but I get a lot of braindead teammates so I can never waste time doing totems while they're exchanging hooks back and forth.

    Exactly. Though I used to do bones, but sometimes you can only find three or four on some maps and, if the killer has NOED and just remains that sneaky totem that nobody can't find, there's no much you can do. What I do is I try to remember the totems I see and look for them at the end if NOED.

    Do you play killer?

    As the FPS console is barely noticeable when you play survivor, it's when you play killer is when you notice it.

    From my experience, the console FPS is playable, however is it abysmal if you compare it to PC's FPS.

    Whenever you get into a tier of blood-lust, you get a frame rate drop. I've lost count the amount of times I've missed a hit because blood lust activated at the worst time.

    It happens to me also as survivor on PC. My specs are: Ryzen 7 1700, 16GB RAM and NVIDIA 1050 and I play low graphics even when the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software says medium is the optimal setting. It happens with Doctor shocks, Freddy's world, Hag traps, in chase... or just because.

    This game is so bad optimized.

  • Any Means Necessary: I think the several stun is way too much. I'd just reduce cooldown like you said and maybe if you're in the pallet dropping animation you can't be hurt or make the animation faster or something like that. Also make the pallet dropped auras visible. And if you want to go bananas: make that, if you're downed fully recover on a pallet, you have a 50% chance to drop the pallet, stun the killer and free yourself if he picks you up. It's counterable and it's a 50/50.

    Stake Out: I'd prefer it would stay the same but with some tweaks. Maybe buff it so you can gain tokens also in chase. Or make it like Autodidact: you start the trial with a debuff speed (you wouldn't gain tokens while doing gens) and you lose all tokens if hooked. So it rewards you for being stealth and for escaping chases. No great skill check zone and once you consumed all the tokens, your repairing gets to normal (or maybe a little slower depending of the repair buff you get for each token). If it also increases the odds of getting skill checks it could be an interesting combo with Autodidact.


    The other perk changes I think are good.

  • @Mozzie said:

    So I agree with both sides of this argument. On one hand survivors need methods to slow down and stun killers, on the other running around an ambulance in circles until finally dropping a conveniently placed pallet in the middle of a street looks absolutely ridiculous.

    The balance between these ideas is that pallets should be replaced with other items within the environment. Hit a killer with an item to make them stunned and if it's a really good item and a well placed hit get a longer stun and even fall down steps. Barricade off a door with a couch that the killer has to slowly break through. Ya know, the things you'd actually see in a horror movie, not a looney tunes cartoon. The reality is none of that would ever happen in this game. It's growing long in the tooth by now and this change would require the making of many more interactive assets across all maps and isn't going to give what these developers want....more money.

    I totally agree with you. I've always thought that stunning a powerful killer with a piece of wood so obvious that he could easily throw away or break at any moment between or before chases was ridiculous.

    That Chinese game (Soul at stake) does it a little better with survivors closing doors to slow the killer down. And I think that the new breakable walls they're implementing could be a nice approach in that direction.

  • Make repairing gen speed faster if killer is at X meters from the hook and not in chase during a certain period of time (a facecamping killer shouldn't get more than one kill at most). And reward survivors, after the game, for not kill themselves on hook (safety pip, bonus blood points...).

    I also think people who suicide on first hook ruin the game for the rest of the players (almost no difference to DCing) and should be punished somehow after game.

  • I suppose I was lucky, I got it on my first attempt: in The Game map (I guess that's why).Try use an offering for this challenge.

    From Monto's stream (00:40:49) and the specific clip below so you can see it with your own eyes. That's the exact same thing that happened to me.

    Probably not - BHVR don't have anything to with things that happen outside of the game itself, so they couldn't do anything about the Discord server even if you did report it. It is, however, against Discord's TOS to distribute or promote hacks, so they would be the ones to report it to if you wanted something to be done about the server itself.

    Yeah, I meant report to Discord sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Thanks for your help.

    I definitely understand the frustration - I've had games before myself that I couldn't report because I didn't record them, but unfortunately there's nothing the Support team can really do without proof 🙁 Otherwise, they risk banning genuinely innocent people who just got report-bombed.

    The best you can do at this stage is just keep an eye out for similar behaviour in the future. Maybe download a screen-recording program like OBS and having it running (not necessarily recording) in the background whenever you play DBD - that's what I do, personally. That way, you can just tab out and press record if someone starts griefing or hacking or something like that in one of your games.

    I'm definitely doing that. So I imagine it's not enough he's on that hackers group 😁 Do you know if it's worth it to report their Discord server (it's on the Steam group's description) or it doesn't make any sense? 😓

    It was only 15 minutes to finish the summer event and I only needed three more gens to get the Kate cosmetic, I were a couple of hours playing to reach from 55 cocktails to the 87 I had before the last match. Well, I repared all the three gens almost on my own and finished the match one minute later the deadline (15:01 UTC). For a goddammn minute and I started the game on time. I don't know if this happened to someone else or is this a bug but I'm pissed out.

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I needed to get this off my chest.

    Considering the amount of time you had to do the event on top of the extension, you cant complain.

    The initial connection issues will be brought up as a counter-argument. But it was still possible to get it. Though this is coming from someone who has all of the time in the world and was able to give myself multiple days free from the grind after unlocking both cosmetics. I've yet to play with the Hillbilly weapon but there is no doubt I'll play about with it a lot.

    Not everybody has the same time to dedicate to play a game but that's ok. That's is not the point, the point is I got pissed at that moment because I was a minute late from getting the cosmetic despite I started the match on time. I just wanted to get that off my chest and also share this anecdote with you guys. I'm not saying the event was short or anything like that, it was bad luck.

    That's just something that happens. I'll buy a few things on the blood web, maybe even level my character up one or two levels, turn off my game for a little bit because I need to focus on something else but even if that period is as short as a minute I'll return to the game and everything's been reverted to the state it was in during 2-3 matches prior to levelling that character up after said matches.

    That's not cool. Never happened to me, but it's seems that this game sucks saving your progress.

    I'd blame it mainly due to your progress being saved onto a server. For instance despite the fact you repaired the gens (I think, I've read and commented on so many posts my brain has fried) during the match the server most likely disregarded those gens repaired due to the event's end timer already going off at that point.

    Yep, it makes sense. I just thought since I repaired them on time they'd been saved so decided to help my teammates, but it was usless and I lost the reward xD

    You had 2 weeks and an extra 2 days....

    Don’t blame anyone but yourself :/ plus it was very easy to grind for them.

    If it makes you feel better, the Kate shirt and the HillBilly hammer was nothing special. It was very dull and plain looking so.

    I got the hammer within the first week. I wasn't able to get the Kate shirt on time.

  • @megdonalds said:
    The event was easy af and it's your own fault when you started reaching the goal that late. The cosmetics weren't worth the effort tho.

    I know, at least I got the hummer that is decent. What I'm saying here is that I started the match on time and it should be counted. But it's ok, I only got mad for a moment and needed to express myself. Now I know it for the next time.

    @jas2910 said:
    i got the 2 things in 2 days maybe you need to chill and play the game a bit more next time

    You're are right. I only got mad for that minute. Needed to say it out loud.

    you got unlucky, sorry mate. You can take solace in the fact that the cosmetic wasn't anything too special, but I do understand that it sucks to miss it by a literal minute.

    Yeah, that's the thing. If I weren't be able to get it on time that's fine, but the point is that I did it. Only-by -a-minute.

  • To be honest man I do apologize about the event. I won't lie I was a little irritated earlier this morning because the servers went down for me. I almost didn't get Kate. I was able to get the hillbilly within the first two days but fell off because Kate didn't feel or look as good. Either way I am severely sorry that you didn't enjoy the event.

    Wish I could actually give you my shirt because I actually won't wear it

    Thanks.The worst part was that I reapaired the last gen and opened a door with two minutes left to the deadline and I could left the match in time, but I were for a hook save confident that I got the gens on time. Then this doctor had NOED and he hitted my other two teammates, downed me by the exit gate and I died on the hook so that's why I finish the game one minute later >_<

    Bubbatop said:
    Be glad you didn't get it, you could have lost it like I did.
    I unlocked both items and had them equipped, only to have ALL progress reset to zero and the items taken away and the characters back to having the basic stuff equipped. This happened yesterday.
    Support was very unhelpful with this bullshit.
    That sucks. Sorry :(

    They gave us 16 days, chill.

    And the first days you couldn't even play due to connection issues. But I know, I'm only annoyed because I were so close and playing only to get the cosmetic and it was for nothing.
