PC, Steam, Windows 7 I was playing as Dwight on Midwich against Pinhead. At about 7:30 into the match lag kicked in that began as just a couple of frame skips, some jumpiness, but within 20 seconds rapidly increased to the point that the game stopped. It remained on a still image for 2-3 seconds, followed by perhaps a half second of the game running properly again, and repeated the process about0 comments 1 views last activity

Hey all, short and sweet: I've been running a super NON-meta build for six months now because it fits my playstyle. In short, creeping in the shadows and cat and mouse play. Lots of information perks. But the problem with this is that if I'm caught, I'm essentially screwed. So with three perks pretty much forming the nexus of my gameplay style, I was wondering if anyone had any helpful suggestion39 comments 321 views last activity

EDIT: This thread has been updated with video of what seem like bots in a regular five-person multiplayer online game. PC, Steam, killer was Ghostface versus myself (Ace), my friend (Adam), and two strangers - Nea and Meg. Nea and Meg both behaved in a way that seemed to suggest some randomness and confusion (hesitation, strange apparent pathfinding and lack of urgency during the EGC) as well as13 comments 411 views last activity

With various people saying that this map or that killer should be disabled and so forth, I decided to turn the frequent conversations into something that may be a little more fun. Imagine that you work at BHVR and you have one job: Deleting content that you don't like. You can't go crazy though, you are limited to this: One map. ONE. One chapter set of characters. What I mean by this is, say th76 comments 781 views last activity

I III-50'd Meg last week and as such have had fer full bloody prestige out for a while. When I went to use it today though, it's gone. No trace of it in her inventory, either as pieces or the full set. Has this happened to anybody else? My first guess is that maybe it has something to do with the reworking of the character models but my P1 Dwight and Claudette still have their bloody shirts. If7 comments 481 views last activity

We've all heard of Freddy, Jason, etc. But what about those underdogs of horror? Whether the characters from these movies would fit in this game or not, which are some of your favorites that always seem to go forgotten and unmentioned? For me: The Descent. DAMN good horror movie, one of the best of the last couple of decades in my opinion. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and get a21 comments 131 views last activity

I played for 4 or 5 hours today. In that time: All the matches lasted a good ten minutes or more, which is exactly what I like All the matches were back and forth; competitive (with an exception, I'll get to that) I escaped probably 15 out of 20 matches which is pretty good for me I got the III-50 achievement for the first time Because of that I've finally been able to start funneling BP in7 comments 101 views last activity

EDIT: Original purpose of the thread detailed below. Confusion about Blood Warden's effects, it's all cleared up now. Interesting conversation to follow but if you're not interested in the topic, nothing to see here.13 comments 151 views last activity

This same thing happened to me last week. A good minute or more after the "loading match" bar has filled before the game actually starts (at one point it kept "loading" for five minutes that I had to alt+del out of the game), lag spikes, connection issues (twice now I've gotten an "unknown error" after a match and then two "disconnected from server" errors within about ten seconds of one another0 comments 1 views last activity

Maybe have the game run a check that sees that the person did literally NOTHING all match but wander around hiding, not doing gens, not cleansing hexes, not doing saves, not doing ANYTHING, only to let the last two or three people die so they could look for and / or camp the hatch? I didn't used to see this very often but it's happened literally four times today, now twice in a row, and it's rea29 comments 301 views last activity

Earlier this morning I got adept Meg and decided to do the same with Claudette. When I did it with Claudette though, it didn't register. I didn't get the achievement. I rechecked to make sure that she only had her three unique perks, though one was only tier 2 (I didn't think it would matter). All correct perks, but no achievement upon escape. Strangely I didn't get a popup notification when I di8 comments 61 views last activity

Good, tense, creepy original film (only saw the first one). Great, eerie monster design. Film directed by a convicted child molester. Not so good. Thoughts?31 comments 991 views last activity

I played a session from roughly 11 pm to 3 am this morning and WOW, were there connection issues galore. I was disconnected while on the main menu, a game was closed after "launching" because "a player disconnected before the match", and at one point my game sputtered so bad that I literally just ran to a somewhat safe spot and held the crouch button for almost a solid minute before the slideshow5 comments 21 views last activity

I've been playing the game for a couple of months and it's been perfectly smooth sailing (both the PC and the Switch Lite, no issues). But over the last week I've noticed that in addition to matches taking what seems like twice as long to load (the loading bar while waiting for the match to begin would usually fill then still take about 20 seconds to get me into the match, now it takes longer to9 comments 111 views last activity

So I had a ritual to do with Amanda today and I thought "I always heard about that 'booping the snoot' thing". I don't understand it, I don't know why people do it, I don't know when or why it started, but it sounds like it would be fun to try. This is just gonna be a ritual-focused run, so what the hell. I started the match, found three survivors around a generator, and when it blew (right when24 comments 201 views last activity

I understand that the policy here is not to "name and shame" and I understand why. I also understand that claiming that a person did something wrong is sometimes subjective and abused. But if we have actual, irrefutable video evidence of a survivor working with the killer (in my opinion the most pathetic, wretched type of player in the DBD community), is it still bad to name them?

We have: A Nightmare On Elm Street. 6 main entries, a reboot, Freddy vs. Jason, and a remake. 9 films. Halloween. 5 main entries, 1 "side story", some crappy follow-ups, two poor Rob Zombie entries, and a sort of "we'll fix this mess" new official sequel. 11 films with another coming soon. Evil Dead. 3 main entries, 2 seasons of a TV series, and eternal love for Bruce Campbell Scream. Fo19 comments 111 views last activity

I've had the game for two months. In the first month I faced Plague probably three times in total. Today I faced her not only three games in a row, but about ten more times on top of that. Same with the last day or two. This can't just be random coincidence. Is this happening to anyone else? I mean it's been Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague. She has dominated this whole weekend.

I've been playing this game for about 6 weeks and I generally love it. I'm not usually one to complain. Win or lose, I don't care. I just want to have fun. I want my matches to last longer than the time I have to wait to start them, and as long as that happens and I actually get to play fairly, I'm generally satisfied. This is a good game. However, I've noticed that killers often spawn INCREDIBL2 comments 21 views last activity

This used to only happen to me occasionally, now it's like 60 to 70 percent of games. The camera rotates, I gain control of my character, and within less than 30 seconds the killer chase music is already coming at me. I mean my god, I haven't even been given the time to know which direction to go or what the layout of the map is. let alone come anywhere near a generator, and the killer is already11 comments 51 views last activity

Some of the killers have backstories that are more tragic than evil. Which of the killers, if any, do you have sympathy for? If you could choose only one, who would you go back in time to help with a hug and some friendship before things were too late? For me it would be The Huntress. I find her backstory really sad. She isn't totally innocent like Spirit was, but it's obvious that she lost her47 comments 781 views last activity

Or, in the case of more experienced players (who are mathematically likely to have seen everything by now), least common combinations? For me: Oni in Midwich or Haddonfield. Pyramid Head at the Red Dawg Saloon or Hawkins Lab The Twins pretty much anywhere other than the hospital, Autohaven or the Farm / Estate The Demogorgon in Midwich and Backwater Swamp The Trickster in Midwich The P26 comments 301 views last activity

Topic. If you want to skip the explanation I understand. I just really want to thank someone. === I'm new to the game - only about a month in and getting better but still learning - and every now and then I encounter a player who really earns my respect. Just an hour ago, for example, I played a match that lasted a full half-hour - my longest by far - on the Yamaoka (smaller) map, no less.3 comments 31 views last activity

Just throwing out concepts and thinking about what could be fun, not being overly serious or expecting such things to happen. Here are some things I imagine could be fun, what about you guys?

NOT counting perks or abilities. Just based on appearance alone. Say it's late night and you're deep in the woods. Suddenly you hear the branches rustle and you turn to see one of the killers heading straight for you. Which one would you be most terrified by and why?65 comments 651 views last activity

Is it me or are half to two-thirds of the maps in this game not showing up? I've played about fifty matches over the last few days, probably a total of 15 hours of gameplay, and I haven't seen an indoor map once. Literally not ONCE. Meanwhile I've gotten stuff like the Pale Rose 4 or 5 times in one day, at one point twice in a row, and beyond that it's mainly just the usual scattering of swamp, f32 comments 311 views last activity

Hey everybody, I just got the game a week ago and have been having a blast with it aside from two major exceptions: I can't stand toxic players and the lobbies seem to dry up in the mid-evening (roughly 5pm and later, US Central time). In the morning I can get connected to a lobby in ten seconds. By dark it takes ten minutes. Wins and losses don't matter to me. Of course I like to win and try to13 comments 162 views last activity
