  • Whilst yeah, what you say is correct and they are completely ignoring the broken emblems, the language and rant style just means the thread will get locked,

  • They should turn off rank altogether

  • You forgot killers can teleport pallets, walls let you walk right through them and there certain places the killer can no longer enter or get permanently stuck.


    the update is literally a huge mess, and I’ve honestly no idea how they have released it in this state.


    maps look fantastic though, as always.


    p,S - I agree the UI is horrible, as are the survivor animations. They just look so wooden and unrealistic.

  • Had it multiple times today on both sides. Had killers teleport he pallet after I stun them and hitting me for free.


    also got stunned a few times as a killer and then teleported the pallet. Let me hit the survivors for free.

  • same here. Luckily I play both sides equally, so I’m just gonna stop survivor and play killer til it’s fixed.


    oh wait, they probably want this so people play killer. Might take a few months to fix.

    qSame here. Luckily I play both sides rus

  • I've loved every single map rework so far.


    Except this one. It's just so bright. Playing on 4k Xbox Series X. As killer I can see survivors from miles away. And it feels like far too much open space.

    Ormand however <3

  • Do the devs ever even acknowledge feedback on here?


    just curious.

    yes aka put a lot of effort into it to censor names that don't appear often enough to worry about

    A lot of effort? Guess you have zero coding experience. The longest time would be making up the censored list. Luckily, as every forum and game etc has one, that could be copied in 10 seconds.


    and I’ve literally just swapped to crossplay. I saw 10 names at least on my first night. From my one night of experience, it was very very often.

  • Looks like we have a few of those sad individuals who like to use these names as well. I’m guessing it’s mostly teenagers thinking they are cool. But hey ho.

    Now, not even getting into the game rating. In my country, some of the names I’ve seen are actually an arrest-able offence. Doesn’t matter if your 14 years old or 30 years old, no one needs to, or wants to see racist names.

    Every game has violence now. My kid plays Lego games. He’s blowing up other people. It’s animated, and cartoony sure, but the theme is there. My kids are mature enough to walk by and see me playing. Some of the names go way past this line.

    the game rating just excludes DbD from any liability from player names etc. They also give little disclaimers in their toc like every other game. However, every other game (call of duty etc) censors these, as well as offensive logos etc. In fact, 99% of games do.


    bottom line is, your defending something without a leg to stand on. There is no reason why we shouldn’t have them censored. Just because I’m not offended, or you’re not, somewhere, someone will be. My wife, was pretty disgusted by the names too, she’s over 18, she passes the mature rating.


    stop trying to defend he indefensible just to be some internet troll.

  • @bjorksnas said:

    I mean you could just ignore them or report them on steam and if they get enough reports something will be done. Personally I only ever see a name with anything that should be censored maybe every 100-200 games. Implementing a censorship system specifically for pc names sounds like a lot of work for the devs

    It’s really not. The devs can bypass whatever steams restrictions are, and implement there own in game censorship, regardless of what the steam tag is. If certain letter combinations appear together, censor it. The steam name wouldn’t change, it would just be visually censored. That can all be done in game.

  • @anarchy753 said:

    I mean, you could put a lot of effort into complaining about it, or you could grow some thicker skin and not have any issues like 99% of people do. It's up to you really.

    As mentioned, it’s because I have kids about. Nothing to do with my skin thickness. My first years in my working career were in the Navy. I’ve heard worse, seen worse, than anything any swear words on DbD could ever bother me. Doesn’t mean when I’m sat in my living room my kids need to see racist slurs and swear words, despite the fact they are getting a lot older now.

  • Ok that does seem to be the case. Queues are good with crossplay on.


    but man this matchmaking is awful. Me and my buddy keep getting put with killers below rank 10, and survivors that are 18-20. Why are red ranks matched like this? Just taking the mick out of low rank killers isn’t fun.

  • Guess I’m the only one it doesn’t work for. I’m not freezing, yet not found a killer game in the last 30minutes.

    previous Xbox finds a game in 2 minutes.


    Now for the stupid part. Please please please don’t tell me that to play from the series x to the previous Xbox one we need cross play enabled? I really have to play against Pc players with a huge hardware advantage to get the chance of meeting the normal console player base?


    theres probably 50 players playing XSX or less, so we have to use crossplay. Which is fine, except for PC. Why can’t we have a console only option for Xbox and PlayStation. Game would be a hell of a lot more popular if pc players didn’t stomp all over Console ones due to the mouse sensitivity.

    How is it a data transfer issue? I can log on an start the game with all my killers survs all the cosmetic items i own etc just fine. just when joining a lobby does the game freeze and Crash on the series X. If it was a data transfer problem my account wouldnt be there waiting for me when i start the game Wouldn't it?

    Because it is? Anyone with a previous save won’t work, fresh save will. Your killers etc come from the addons you have downloaded, and are nothing to do with your save file.

  • @grasslands said:

    Just made a fresh account level 1 on my Xbox series x, dead by daylight runs fine. Not sure why my main account freezes

    It seems to be anyone who has data from previous console. Which essentially makes it useless.

  • @MandyTalk whats your official position within the company?

  • @jjb985 said:

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1748632#Comment_1748632

    Are you saying that s fresh install already upgraded could work vs transfer and patch update or are both broke?

    No...there are two ways to get the upgrade. Both are broke as it’s the update that’s broke.

  • all depends if you downloaded a fresh download once the patch was already released, or upgraded your old data after transferring it. I got a patch, it was 26gb or something.

  • @Thane_Valkarian said:

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1748426#Comment_1748426

    Are we sure it's part of the patch? Some suggested it was the 4k textures? Or am I being sow and that counts as part of?

    The textures was in the patch. It was the entire optimisation patch for the new gen (textures, 4k, FPS upgrades etc)

  • @jjb985 said:

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1748196#Comment_1748196

    This surely was tested tho before launch? You can't say they even tested because it's 95% failure there's no way everything was perfect and now it's not. I think their attention more often than not is fixated on skins, microtransactions, pc streamers and never on the same old bugs or issues this games had for years so something even like this I feel was never properly tested most likely pencil whipped.

    Whilst they won’t admit it, I’m pretty sure they tested their build on the dev kit. We play on the retail kit. They are obviously different, so the retail crashes for everyone, yet they couldn’t replicate the issue.


    I guess they assumed they were the same. I probably would too. But obviously not.

  • @fusy said:

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1748196#Comment_1748196

    A timeframe for the devs for their fix would be enough for me, at least then we'd know there's been progress. Two days to even acknowledge the issue, four to get a vague 'it'll be fixed in an indefinite amount of time' isn't good for a paid product.

    I'm sure Microsoft would push the update since they would've paid for a game on Game Pass that is yet to work on their brand new consoles

    True.


    then again, certification would of been bypassed if the last patch was tested at all.

  • @Mandy said:

    I don't know of an ETA on the fix I'm afraid as I don't know if it's going to be required to go through Microsoft Certification etc, I believe we have isolated the cause and a fix is being worked on but I don't have a time frame for it I'm afraid to say.

    Unfortunately Mandy is right. DbD has never in its history before had a patch that goes through certification. She couldn’t possibly know the additional time it would take to have the cert verified approximately. Oh wait.


    She couldn’t possibly give two outcomes, an eta with cert and an eta without. She couldn’t possibly ask the devs for an ‘expected’ time to fix, then add that to the other two times. Oh wait,


    Then again, I don’t know if this person has any capacity whatsoever within the game, or is literally some random person who’s just a mod on this forum. The responses definitely sound the former, but who knows.

  • @tonyischill said:

    True, I just started playing DBD a couple months ago and this whole next gen debacle has pretty much ruined my perception of these devs

    I think usually they are alright, so don’t give up, and most stuff they release sits on the ptb for a week or two to catch bugs.


    it’s not the fact the patch is broke that’s annoyed me, it’s the sheer lack of communication and care to the Xbox players. I get we are the minority compared to Pc, but seriously, are we not worth the 30 seconds it takes to type an update?

    Serious failing on the part of the community manager. Even if they have no info to give, it’s their job to hassle those who day until they can tell us at least something.

  • @HulkinPUNK said:

    I hope we get an update on something soon.. not knowing anything about it makes it worse, especially for those of us who sold their old system when they got the series x.

    Me and my mate in party (both on our old Xbox’s) just literally said this.


    can’t believe they haven’t said anything, like ‘we’ve found the issues’, ‘patch will be a few days’ or even ‘we honestly have no idea’. Anything is better than silence,

  • It also doesn’t fix the crash when you load into the lobby with other players, or when you hit the end screen.

  • It’s also started being posted on the major Xbox sites, so it’s gathering a lot of unwanted attention.

  • @tonyischill said:

    It's such a shame because I just checked out the optimized version of Sea of Thieves, and I was brought to tears by its amazing graphics and smooth frame rate compared to the xbox one. Just makes me wish for this updated DBD patch even more 😪

    Yup. Sea of Thieves, Legion, Valhalla, all look stunning.

    DbD....lol

  • @tonyischill said:

    Yup pretty sure this game breaking crashing issue is uniform across everyone who made the effort to acquire the series x on launch day. This is simply disappointing given the history of the devs' lack of priorities for consoles in general. At the very least, you would think they would have played a single match as killer/survivor on the series x for testing purposes, but I guess not. This just proves that the whole next gen optimization patch was either to stir up hype for their new DLC or just flat out rushed to meet launch day demand...probably a mix of both to be honest. My expectations for a speedy hot fix are basically non-existent at this point, so I guess I have to continue playing on my xbox one despite the series x standing right next to it collecting dust lol

    Problem is, they’ve tested it on dev kits that they got a month or two back.

    seems like no-one had he foresight to test it on a release version, which everyone else would be using. Plus they had to send out boxes to streamers.


    also sat here playing it on my one x while my SX does nothing.

  • @Breakshot said:

    Yeah works fine on One and One X here and broken on two Series X's. Issue is same as others have described. I was buzzing seeing the next-gen upgrade and disappointed just as quick. 😥

    May I direct you to DBD official Twitter where you can see the excitement and important issues surrounding ‘what’s in the box’.


    hopefully this makes up for not being able to play the game at all.

  • @Mandy said:

    Hi, trying to get as much information as possible on this...are any of you still able to play the game on the regular Xbox 1 or are you facing the same problems there?

    Lol this post is quality. You just couldn’t make this up.

    theyve obviously tested this on a dev SX which works, and my guess is they don’t have a release kit.

    it’s crashing for every day one retail series x there is. No, no-one can play games. And yes, it works on all other versions of the Xbox. It has been broken by the 4k upgrade patch for the XSX.


    what a joke. I can personally vouch for it being tested on 7 consoles, across 3 continents. All 7 of these crash upon entering a lobby.


    there is no information for us to offer. On the series x it crashes upon entering a lobby. That’s it.

  • But but, looking at what is in the streamers box is super important!

    Am sorry I don’t think you appreciate our frustration at all, especially seeing as your Twitter doesn’t even acknowledge this at all. How long would it take for you to put a message up letting people know you are actually looking into what is a serious game breaking bug? I understand you need to look into this but the complete lack of any communication on this is unprofessional.

    This was my issue. I went to Twitter, then reddit, and finally here.


    no official engagement except ‘can you send us a video of a static freeze screen lulkek’.


    simple announcement even saying you’re aware of the issue, and keep us updated for a fix.

  • @Mandy said:

    @Lavindathar whilst I appreciate your frustration, yes we did need video as we were unable to repro this on our side. Thanks to assistance from people on this forum, who've helped me with this today, we now have more information and the team is looking into it.

    Erm. How? Have you seen this forum? Have you seen reddit?

    ive tested two consoles, my brother has tested two, all my friends have tested....not a single one doesn’t have this issue.

    I find it strange when everyone who’s on a launch day SX has this issue, yet you can’t reproduce it? Unless your using the dev kit SX to test (which I really hope not) how do you guys not get this issue yet everyone else does?


    regardless, can you give any insight on fix etc? Have you found the issue? Can it be patched relatively quickly etc?

  • @MandyTalk you really don’t need a video.


    you just need to try it yourself on a Series X. I’ve tested the upgraded version on two consoles, both do exactly the same as in the above video. As soon as you load the lobby, it crashes. Sometimes when you enter the archive. It’s a 99% crash rate right now.


    it’s ridiculous I have two XSX’s sat here and if I want to play DbD I have to go back to my 1x. I love the surprise we got by releasing this, but it’s obviously not been tested and has rendered the game unplayable.
