Happens to me few times in a day. Doesn't matter if I am survivor or killer always when loading into a match. And a couple of times it caught my attention that there was a Bloodyparty streamers offering in the game. Not everytime when BPS offered though, maybe a coincidence.

Exactly. Now pipping means something, and with each crash I lose 2 pips. Like damn I worked hard for those :(

I was not playing as Mikaela, but entered the boon totem area to heal, and my game crashed.

Was the game at the end game collapse while you were healing? Cause it happened me twice in boon totem area in the end game collapse.

Hope survivors are enjoying the 5-10 min queue times with broken new perks and multiple killer nerfs.
Even more fun when you finally get into a lobby and get instantly camped/tunneled because splitting pressure is no longer viable at high levels.

The most interesting part is I never get those high level players as teammates. The survivors I am facing do everything in their power to finish the gens asap. And my teammates just strolling around the map, enjoying its beauty in every turn. At least most of the matches. I occasionally verse killers who play like me. Trying to play fair, trying to apply pressure to other gens, but only ending up with 3 hooks when gate popped. And now this boon perks are literally the final nail to the killers' coffin.

I believe making killers addon depended is a wrong strategy of design. But unfortunately every rework they do they adjusts addons too much. Survivors literally has the best dodging method for your iridescent addons. They just gives up playing, D/Cing, not running. And totally ruins your hard earned addons. You don't get to play, because they don't play. So crippling a killer base powers with nerfs, then making them strong with iridescent addons is bad for killers, bad for survivors, bad for the game imo.

I have the same issue. For me it happens in probably 1 out of 3 survivor games but never as killer. I played mikaela reid with both boon totem perks. The crash allways happened when i was healing myself in the boon totem range and there were allways 2 or more boon totems on the map. If someone creates a boon totem while you are inside the radius of a second one, the blue visual effect of the totem is not fading when you leave the totems range. I think that has something to do with it because a encountered that issue most of the games where my game crashed.

@ASOZIAL said:
my game also crash sometimes when i make a burning totem to a boon totem

Yeah boon totem seems like the common element. I crashed 3rd time and both as survivor when I was self caring in boon totem area at the EGC.

But once I was the killer and there was 2 more gens to do. Maybe a survivor was healing with boon. Can't be sure though.

Almost every killer can mind game by hiding the red stain and doubling back etc.
The idea behind a mind game is that it provides a chance to outplay eachother but have a fair chance.
They specifically wanted to get rid of spirits stand still 'mind game' because its not interactive at all.
She will be fine, she has some fun addons like blocking the windows etc. And other killers without her arsenal can mindgame just fine!
Still viable easily, she isnt dead yet, just needs to be more thought out than just listening or standing still.

Sorry, after the update I still feel the same. She is dead. Because we have already seen this "feature" as a bug last year. It killed her then, it killed her now. Total waste of time to play her.

This is just a lie; spirit can outrun any survivor at any loop. Acting like this, along with the extended lunge, doesn't affect your hits is just bullshit.
Let me play you a scenario.
You're at a long wall tile. Survivor predrops and camps pallet. You start phasing and you start going one way. Since they can only see puffs of dust they vault, but you predict this and begin going that direction before they even begin vaulting. By the time they can even vault back you've already lunged and hit them.
Saying she can't mind game because you aren't creative is dishonest.

Let's take your scenario and play it. Survivor is camping that pallet. When Spirit started to phase even from the short side, survivor can easily hear her and vault to the other side. If she changes direction still they can vault accordingly. That is what I am saying. Because we had this feature as a bug so I actually do know what is going to happen. Your footstep scenario actually proves my point. Cause I think it wouldn't be that easy to hit a decent survivor. Because they scan environment pretty well. They would still have the time to react if they are looking at the right direction. And that's the definition of mind game.

Without knowing my experiences and knowledge of the game, calling me bad or dishonest, won't help to prove your point. You can't elevate yourself by belittling someone else.

You travel at insane speed, you're invisible, and you're telling me you won't be able to mind game with that even if your phase can be heard in a direction?

Invisible part pretty much goes to waste with directional sound imo. Her phasing speed is not that insane without an add-on.

And tell me more about your open loop mind game skills. Killer moves, survivor sees and counter moves. Hearing her change direction is exactly like that. How is that mind gameable? Enlighten me please.

I remember it not really being that big an issue. I think the visible footsteps is overkill, but directional phasing needs to be a thing. I have played Spirit, and I got a 4k with no perks and no add-ons. Scratch marks and sound is really all you need as Spirit.

I agree with @BastardKing, at high ranks she got totally destroyed with that bug. It was pointless to play as her against decent survivors. And that "accidental" bug is her feature now.

Hearing her direction gives survivor total control in a chase. But if they have to look for the dust, they have to shift their focus. A good survivor who doesn't need to actively look for killer indications and just hears them is a dangerous thing. You need some wiggle room for mindgame.

For example, if I only hear her changing direction in a loop, I would easily adapt for a new position, but if I have to look for her footsteps I would have to mind game. Imagine if heartbeat is directional. That would completely made red light mindgame useless, much like an open loop. Good survivors destroy you in openly visible loops, cause they immediately react to your movements. That'd be like playing at open loops all the time for Spirit.

@Kaitsja said:
That would stop the stand still mindgame but it wouldn't actually help all that much since Spirit can still hear your breathing and your groans of pain when injured. Directional phasing will go a long way to helping with playing against Spirit.

When she is phasing, she is basically blind. All she has is sound. And as a counter now survivors have footstep visuals. I'd call this even. Do you remember the time when there was a sound bug on Spirit, so you would hear the direction of her while phasing. That bug made her unplayable. I would hate to see that happen again. Yes, she is one of the strongest killers, but not sure that she deserves such butchering.

Grades are not an indicator at all, no, if I play 10 average games and you play only 2, but you do great, I'm still going to be higher grade, but this doesn't mean I'm better than you.
I understand the change can create confusion and it will take time to get used to the new system, but again the matchmaking doesn't take into consideration the grades at all.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2516166#Comment_2516166
And I do agree with this, I feel like people still try to use grades as they used to use ranks to justify their losses.

I am not saying that grades represent matchmaking. I don't have a clue how matchmaking works. Since I can get matched with teammates who can't even hit a single skillcheck, I don't know what skill they based on while matching us.

But I am saying grades still resembles the old ranking system, cause they still use the same emblem system. All players start the season at 20, and if a player hit the red grades after first week, doesn't that mean they play a lot and they are highly probably playing well? And can system differentiate someone's skills after "they did great" at 2 games. How do you even define "you did great"? Does it take to account how much time I looped, or how many gens I popped, or how many unhooks I did?

I still think emblems mostly represent skill at high grades. Because, if you did something in a game you will get emblems for them and most likely pip. Yes, emblem system isn't perfect, but still doesn't it tell a bit about the players' skill level? Again I am not saying it is used for matchmaking. All I am trying to say is you can still tell the same things about a player like you did with rank system. Because it is literally the same system. Just resetting to 20 instead of a color.

Hiding grades could stop the complains, but it won't change the system. You just wouldn't confirm what you knew.

@Rizzo said:
Grades are not used for matchmaking, they are just an indication of playtime.
The current system is a Skill Based Matchmaking based on a hidden MMR.

Do you think grades are not indicators at all? The way I see it, when a player gets more emblem and pips, much like before the grade system, that still shows their skill level. If they reached the iridescent grade within a week of grade reset, doesn't it show that they play well? We still get rewarded emblems like rank system, so even if we reset back to 20, still red grades are red ranks. This current system only cuts back the depip squads, doesn't effect much normal players.

So I believe I can still say, "WHY AM I GET MATCHED WITH RED PLAYERS WHEN CLEARLY I AM NOT."

Sometimes when a survivor gets disconnected, the match screen shows the killer as having disconnected even though the match is still continuing for everyone else. I'm not saying this is for sure what happened to you, but it is something that happens.

Yeah, it is unnoticeable if you are playing solo. But I confirmed this when in a SWF. My friends continue to play and my screen said killer disconnected.

You can tell if killer had disconnected or not via after chat. Generally if you didn't lost connection you can still write.

Same goes for survivors with higher pings than killer. I am playing at 70 ping range and I get destroyed by 30- 40 pings on both sides. As killer I get stunned and get the hit sound but no hit. As survivor I reach pallet long before killer yet still get hit before I drop. It is so annoying to not knowing if you get the hit or not.

So it will be open for 2 years give or take. Good luck. Clearly we use posts for different purposes. I use post to point out and issue and when it is acknowledged, I am done with the post regardless the fix. Because I believe my complaining won't make the fixes release sooner.

Optimization is not existed for this game I believe. I can play the games that I only meet min req. But not DBD, on well above rec req. and on low quality.

I said goodbye to ultra settings, when they upgraded their engine. Ever since I literally upgraded my PC every year, and still can't keep up with the game. Still on low and still getting frame drops.

And the funny thing is they claim they are trying to be budget friendly. So is this them trying, forcing me to upgrade system to play their game on a regular base? Each update, each map gets worse and worse. Don't they care about losing players who can't simply keep up with system requirements. That is insane.

I used to try my best to take out the OoO user asap from the game, too. Cause especially you are playing a stealth killer, they pretty much ruined all your tactics and normal play. Even when I play M1 killers it is just annoying to someone stare you while doing gens.

Now I don't have to. Info for every 30 secs is useful for me too. Plus I don't lose my advantage if I am stealth. So no reason to target OoO players.

I don't think it is gutted. They made it as a normal perk now. You get the info on a condition and just not like an infinite broadcast. It still does the job it is supposed to do.

If you can still reply to the ticket (not sure if this is possible when it's closed) then update it by replying that you request that your ticket is escalated.
Otherwise make a new ticket, explain the issue (items / currency deleted by unlinking), that your previous ticket was closed and that you request that the ticket is escalated.
Check if an old tickets is still open and update that one if it exists before making a new ticket though. Your new tickets may be closed because they are duplicates of an older, still open ticket.

Yes, I do have an open ticket currently. When I first lost the cells, after unlinking process failed, I submitted that. Then I told to myself maybe because unlinking got failed game stuck in a bug. So tried to unlink for a few more times. After 3rd try, it unlinked and when I returned to my account I saw cells have been returned, but I lost every other purchased items over years. Since I had no luck in the begin with my 1st ticket, and this is a different problem, I created another ticket explaining what happened. It is immediately closed, and merged with "Nothing I can do" ticket. Either I don't understand them, or they don't understand me.

They haven't responded yet, but I am fairly certain all I see will be "Sorry nothing we can do" . But after I get that I will ask my ticket to be escalated.
