• Why are basic server-side anticheat checks not in place after 9 years?

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions December 23, 2025

  Why do we not have basic server-side validation checks yet? Cheaters have been running rampant recently, and the amount of things they are able to do that they have no business doing is absolutely mind boggling. Why does the server send every client the true name and profile of players who have anonymous mode active? The client does not need that information for any reason and only makes it ac

• Can we talk about how awful reworked coldwind is?

  jmwjmw27 in Feedback and Suggestions December 25, 2024

  I'd like to present my (crude) drawing of Rancid Abbatoir RNG that a twitch streamer got a few days ago. 8 pallets, 1 breakable wall, 9 windows. Obstacles unrelated to loops were removed, and what you see here is every (yes, every) resource on the map. I even looked at spots where pallets could spawn to see if any had been dropped but broken, and this

• Doctor's static blasts FULLY RESET invocation progress

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions November 29, 2024

  Is this some kind of joke? Do we really need to make the worst perks in the game even worse? I found this out the hard way on blood lodge and ended up trying to do the invocation FIVE TIMES before finally being killed in the basement. (Yes that is not optimal, but I am allowed to try out the new perks on live right?) This is frankly ridiculous considering how bad weaving spiders and crows are

• Why are the patch notes so hard to find from the forums?

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions November 7, 2024

  Anyone else feel the same or just me? No mention of PTB patchnotes or updates in the announcement section, despite having feedback and bug reports in the PTB section there is no link to the patchnotes themselves anywhere in the forums. If you go to the DBD forums there doesn't seem to be a good way to get to the patch notes article. Why isn't there a post for all updates here from a developer wit

• Bots stuck in void?

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions October 30, 2024

  Just played a match that I won because a survivor disconnected and turned into a bot. The bot then went into the void and stayed inside of it for the entire game, and when I followed it in, it had AFK crows. Anyone else notice similar? I didn't think the bots could even enter the void.

• What do you think about the future state of aura reading?

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions September 13, 2024

  Would like to know what everyone thinks of the state of aura reading if the PTB changes went live. For killer and for survivor. Perks, add-ons, you name it. Bonus question: What would you think of adding the "revealed" effect from 2v8 that let you know when an opponent can see your aura, to both killer and survivor? I see many pros and many cons.

• What general perks do you think should be added to the game?

  jmwjmw27 in Feedback and Suggestions April 30, 2024

  It's been a while since BHVR has introduced a new general perk (one available in the bloodweb not tied to a specific character) with the introduction of Shattered Hope. Now that the Stranger Things DLC perks are gone for players who are just starting out or newer, what tools if any would you give them on both sides to help them out? Do you think they need new tools? Should something be done that

• The Unknown's clones need to be removed from further away when you hook a survivor near them

  jmwjmw27 in General Discussions March 26, 2024

  As the title states. You can hook someone in the basement and a clone halfway down the basement stairs doesn't disappear. It's a little ridiculous especially with how fast you can teleport back to it, singlehandedly won me a game I did not at all deserve to win.
