  • Hello devs, an entire week passed and this bug is still not in the Knows bug list in your updates.

  • Almost every (even small) update of Dead by Daylight corrupts its files, so you need to check them every time through Steam.

  • On the PC you can press Shift+W(ASD) and prevent you from healing.

  • Agree, I have been a lot of times in situations when the whole team has searched Hex or Hatch and no one found it, just curious where it was. And of course I also want to see the killer's perspective inside the recording, I think it's not so hard to do it in the game.

    Developer / administration don't solve the problem with cheaters. Or they don't know how to do it.

    Players cheat their achievements, slightly increase their movement speed, remove textures, use a wallhack. Technical support even doesn't get acquainted with the video recordings of game rules violation.

    You think this guy is a cheater? I can't believe it.

  • PS

    This guy is so talented he also got all the achievements related to the Nightmare on the Elm street chapter without even having one, wow. I wish I could be so skillful.

    Yet another poll with biased answers - though to your credit, they're better than usual.

    Everyone should be able to check each other post-game, still, the survivors ought to be able to check each other at any time, and the killer should be able to check anytime - meaning things should stay the same.

    Being able to check who you're messing with, or who's messing with you, is important; especially when roughly 10% of the PC playerbase is hacking. There's hacks to get rid of that functionality too, but if you remove what little source control we as players have, you're only helping the hackers.

    And I flatly disagree that removing profile checking would in any way curb toxicity.

    What can you say if all of the players will hide their Steam profile inside Steam privacy settings? There are already the same settings present in Steam, I only claim the idea to move it to the game itself. Nothing will be changed for most of the players because more than half of them already hide their profiles. Why does it only work in one way? It should work in both ways, everyone can't see everyone or everyone can see everyone without any exception like we have today. Developers said they hid the killers' profile for a "very good reason" and they will not bring it back, so the only option to make everything fair for both of the sides is to hide everyone from everyone.

    @Ussu said:

    If players can't see each others nicknames and profiles that just makes cheating or hacking way too easy to get away with.

    How do your words correlate with the reality when only killers can check survivors' profiles? Survivors can't check killers' profile so they don't know if they will play this match with hacker or not.

  • And this limit of 1 million blood points should also be removed.

  • In this game update:

    • replaced pumpkin texture
    • fixed charm position on the hook
    • added a funny paid flashlight beam

    At the same time private cheat developers:

    • new presence hiding allowing you to use hack while you stream on Twitch
    • added ability to select 8 perks and 4 add-ons
    • updated to match the new game version

    The killer is allowed to see all of these things to give the killer an advantage never have I heard about killers " Blocklisting " someone don't know where that came from and on top of that it's very rare that you'll run into the same player multiple games in a row for this to be an issue considering crossplay exist the chances of you getting the same player back to back is extremely low.

    Lucky you, I was in such a situation too many times. And even worse - during last week I almost everyday played a few rows with the same killers/survivors or even the killer that camped me previously became a survivor and he continues to ruin my game. It looks strange for a game with 55k median online.

    You can already set your steam profile to private so that people don't bother you if you're in the unfortunate position where you've been frequently harassed by other players in the community. It's never happened to me before personally, but I've heard some horror stories of some really malicious individuals that exist that take things a step too far. So if you're looking for immediate changes that is always an option.

    In the same way, I wonder if maybe it might be a good idea to make it a toggle option in Dead by Daylight itself, as an option to hide your profile or not. Survivors / Killers can decide if they want the link to their steam profile to be visible, and if they choose to they can hide it from other players if they feel it's necessary, or if that's just something they want to do.

    Not one of the poll options but felt it should be suggested anyway ^

    I'm not too sure I like the idea of making it a forced change that needs to apply to everyone is all.

    Maybe the toggle option would be the best solution, like we have toggle option for cross-play and friend requests.

    The same forced change was made a long time ago to survivors, today they can't see the killers' profile in the lobby. But the killer also had the option to hide his profile and whatever you offered, but that's not helping for both killer and survivors. And I totally don't understand why I should change my Steam profile and it's settings only to play one game.

  • @dugman said:

    Honestly I’d be perfectly fine with all useful information being hidden prior the match starting. Killers know nothing about survivors, survivors know nothing about killers. Even hide all the offerings. Let it all come out during the match.

    I even dreamed about some special game mode where everyone starts a match with absolutely random characters, perks and add-ons, this will be the true challenge!

    U can easily abuse and BM killer player just by checking his profile. U can't do same with survivor cause it's 4v1 game. If u worry some killers dodge lobby, it's most probably they see swf and avoid it. Currently it's much better that if u were able to see killer name/profile.

    Ok, we figured out why we are not seeing the killers profiles, now we want to know why survivors can't hide their profiles from the killer to stop the same abuse coming from the killer.

    @VikingDragonXii said:

    Another reason is that Killers cant switch out Killers like survivors can so they are locked with who they decide to play as. If you knew lers say a streamer named XBoy2314 was know to play Doc mostly and you knew he was who you were facing you would switch out your Perks that would counter him and his playstyle. Killers can see survivors and their items because survivors are THE PREY and the killers are THE HUNTERS.

    Interesting point of view. So the killer is a detective because he can see all information about survivors - their add-ons in the lobby, their team in friendlist, their playhours in a profile etc. But survivors can hide their profiles and change nicknames frequently, so the only thing the killer can know for sure about survivors became their add-ons. Shouldn't it be a base game behaviour to hide survivors' profiles and nicknames from the killer if they already can do the same thing but with a hard way?

  • @Mandy said:

    The problem with what you are suggesting is that by seeing the Killers profile you can work out a lot about the player in advance. For example from a Steam profile with their achievements you can usually work out which killer they're the most likely to play and change your build accordingly.

    It used to be that you can see the Killers profile a long time ago (on Steam), and this led to players being effectively "blacklisted" because they were known for being a fantastic Nurse player for example, so they were dodged. That led to a lot of queue hopping, which affects matchmaking as well as players waiting an extraordinary long time for a match, just because they chose to play a character or that they were good at that character. So it was removed for very good reasons.

    First of all, thank you for your answer. But look at this problem by the other side. Now survivors became blocklisted by the killers. Is it more fair than the situation you described? I often wait a very long time in the lobby since I see a lot of killers just leave the lobby after half a minute of joining it (it's the same time you need to check all 4 survivor profiles and their friends list).

    Half of the solution is to hide your buddy list or even completely hide your profile. But the next half is up to you, you need to hide survivors' nicknames/profiles from the killer. Another solution is to change your nickname and picture profile every day or even after every match, but I don't want to do this only for having good gameplay in one game.

    And BTW what is your official answer why we are still playing with players having VAC/ingame bans and why support in such cases is so slow to respond?

    Unless you're already a big streamer, hiding your info like that will just stop you from growing. I'm talking about small/average streamers, those who still need to put "TTV" on their nicknames.

    Seeing the killer is way more problematic than seeing the survivor because you can adapt your build to a killer. Imagine you see a streamer playing Ghostface and all of sudden everyone on your team equips Spine Chill and uses a Coldwind offering.

    But honestly, yeah, everybody should have their nicknames hidden in the lobby screen.

    If they want to become more popular by putting TTV in their nicknames, why should this be everyone else's problem?

    I have been in situations when one of my teammates is dead, and he already can see the killer nickname and even find his Twitch stream to help his team. So hiding the killer's nickname only during the start of the match is a partial solution. But what can you say about how a killer can adapt his build to survivors? If he sees Flashlight in the lobby he choses Lightborn perk, if he sees Key or 4 Toolboxes he selects Franklin's Death etc. I'm actually not talking about perks adoption, but more about toxicity, hackers and poor support. Because I was in a situation where we played against a 100% hacker killer, everyone reported him, I added him to the Steam blocklist and after 2 months we were playing again against him, why? This question is not for you of course, it's for developers.

  • @IamFran said:

    Imagine knowing a killer and then selecting the optimal perks against him.

    Calm Spirit against a Doctor for example.

    Did you even read the post? I'm talking about nickname and profile visibility, not knowing what killer you are playing for.

  • @Labrac said:

    I think the problem with seeing the killer's username is that streamers would be sniped on which killer they are playing, but imo they should at least let we see the ping.

    That is not a problem if streamer oftenly changes his nickname and does not post his twitch info into Steam profile (like Ochido and other pro players do). If you want to show all of your info to everyone it is your problem, not everyone's else. And on the other hand if the survivor is also a streamer then the killer can also watch his stream and find him. So?

    To be fair enough - do not show the nicknames of survivors and their profiles to the killer, why not, what is wrong with that? Killer wouldn't be able to see what kind of needed information?
