So… Dead by Daylight turned 10 years, 1 month and 21 days old. And somehow, in 2026, we still have a hard 120 FPS limit. Amazing progress. Mouse sensitivity is also capped for some reason — want it higher? Too bad, you can’t. Are the developers ever planning to remove these outdated restrictions, or should we just mark our calendars for 2036? Would love a real reply from someone on the team. Truly impressive that after 10 years the game still can’t keep up with the times.
I agree, but just to let you know you still do engine tweak to get 240FPS BUT you need to make sure you can have a constant 240FPS otherwise the game slows down for only you.
I would kill for DLAA or DLSS or any other damn type of AA.

This is my first time experiencing the Chaos Shuffle modifier, and I expected it to be a fun kind of chaos. Not knowing which perks you'd get seemed like it could lead to some interesting combinations, and wondering whether they'd synergise well, like Inner Strength and Small Game, or completely work against each other, like No Mither and Self-Care.
Instead, it's been a pretty miserable experience.
I don't know if I just had an unusually bad run of matches before I went to make something to eat, but almost every game was filled with proxy camping and hard tunnelling. I assume that's because it's much less likely that survivors will randomly get an anti-tunnel perk.
Unless it's changed since I last played, there also wasn't a Bloodpoint bonus for playing survivor. So what's the incentive to play this modifier? Am I missing something, or is it genuinely just not a very good game mode?
I've been learning The first in chaos shuffle, i'm having a blast but i do have to say there's lots and lots of flashlight SWF roaming around, they are much easier to deal with without all the second chance perks..
I just wish peopñe would put more BP offering.

I've been using a 240hz monitor since I game and never had problems in any game. But in dbd, I only have 120fps max. And it does not feel smooth. Please any help!
You used to be but like 6-7 months ago with one of the patch the locked it at 120 max. I have not found anyone that can break that limit. Rip
-
120FPS @ 1440p Ultra. It’s something on your end the last few patch the performance been steady on all map.
-
The other one looked like crap, i love the red background imo.
-
Nope.
-
it's what 4% buff come on, it's going to maybe be worth it on a couple of killers.
-
It was never worth it, unless you wanted the bloody clothing and that's it. My P3 cheryl looks sick tho.
-
I don’t think they will ever make a new nurse but i also don’t think they will change her more too, she’s perfectly balanced even if most survivor SWF main cry about her being easy.
Her kill rate rate and play rate illustrates that quite clearly, if you’re new to killer altogether learning on nurse is so painful, if you already are well verse it’s not that worse bur you’ll be looking a lot at the ground and t bagging survivors.
Everyone says it but hardcore survivor main won’t ever take any of it because she just change how you must play as a survivor and after 4000 hours doing the same things they just don’t want to do anything else because they’re really good at looping, anyways it’s like yelling into the void at this points.

graphics look the same to me.
It doesn't affect people like us running ultra it seems to be people running low settings plus low resolution his first picture is way more blurry

I got it because it's really amazing. Great effect on it too.

@Kate_Main_01 said:
I've always been a Survivor main. I've played Killer and I've had phases where I leaned in that direction but for the most part I've always enjoyed playing Survivor more and have developed my DbD skills more in that side of the game. Recently I decided I'd play 40 rounds of Killer (I did about 10-12 a night) to get a feel for the current Killer atmosphere and then 40 rounds of Survivor to compare the two experiences. I decided to share my takeaway.
These are my personal experiences and my opinion, I did this experiment for fun and hope that it's an interesting read at the very least even if your experiences/opinion are different. 😊
- Toxicity - We all have it about the same. Honestly this is what shocked me the most. I was definitely expecting to see a higher rate of 'toxicity' as a Killer purely because there are 4 candidates for showing bad manners per match. But I saw it at about the same rate as what I see as a Survivor. I got a few click-happy flashlights to the point of just spamming and I saw a few tea-bags at the exit gate/palette drop. I got 3 rude messages (none reportable). It was by no means the majority. As a Survivor it was the same! There were a few Killers who were genuinely toxic (I watched a Killer down the last Survivor at an exit gate, carry him past hooks with the obvious implication of hatch. Find hatch, drop and kick in his face, then carry him to basement and slash him over and over. That is my definition of toxic, not just 'slug is toxic'.) I got 5 rude messages, only 1 of which was reportable for profanity/slurs. On both sides the majority of players played the game and then went on to the next.
- Killer: Game Balance - I enjoyed it. I played 25 rounds as Trickster, 10 rounds as Legion, 5 rounds as Hag (who I hate playing so I wanted to force myself to try her again). I got 3+ kills on all of my games except a very small few (I can't find my note on the specific number! 😔I'd say it was 5-7). The majority of rounds were 4k and only 3 rounds that were 0k. Two of those 0k rounds were the aforementioned flashlight bullying, palette drop gloating rounds. One was definitely not a SWF but I just played like a potato, only got a few hooks, and ultimately lost due to my terrible decisions. The flashlight groups were both either on PC or Xbox and I did wonder if they were a SWF. There were definitely some challenges, I had some good chases and got outplayed, but I felt like I was punishing as a Killer even though I was primarily on a brand new Trickster. Obviously I was playing faster Killers so gen pressure and patrolling wasn't problematic and I absolutely loved filling people with Trickster's knives. On all 40 rounds I purposefully avoided true face camping (not to be confused with patrolling when you know someone is near) and I only slugged during 3 man unhook rushes. I played the game in the way that I consider sportsmanlike.
- Survivor: Game Balance - I enjoyed it... Mostly. I escaped 12/40 rounds. Far less of a textbook success rate as a Survivor than as a Killer. This is not a 'killers ez' post so if anyone does read/respond please don't take it there. Again, this is purely my experience. I saw a lot of tactics that I consider extremely boring (face camping is making a comeback in a big way lately) but we aren't going to argue the validity of these tactics as the devs themselves have said face camping, basement camping, and slugging are intended gameplay styles. It is what it is. I still love the Survivor experience and getting chased and prefer it to Killer even if I 'win' far, far less.
- Technical Issues - I'm not sure... I'm a PC gamer so reliable and high performance internet is a must for me. DbD is literally the only game I play on my PS4. And I'll admit I mostly play on Wi-fi because I forget to drag a cord over about half of the time. That said I noticed some lagging and rubber banding whether I was playing wireless or not. On Killer I mostly encountered some momentary freezing while on Survivor I mostly suffered stuttering and rubber banding. The only thing that seemed to consistently be problematic was Dead Hard, weirdly enough. The game would freeze for about a second every time I used it. It seems like both sides are suffering performance issues right now and that's super disappointing.
This might not have been the most thrilling read but the reason I posted this is to support my takeaway message. The experience is similar for us all. We all face frustrations in performance issues. We all have ideas for how the game could be better balanced/more fun. And we all encounter the pathetic minority who lash out at people and vent their anger in unkind ways. We share all of this in common and a love of this game. It's the latter we should be focused on.
I hope people will keep that in mind and that this infamous divide between Killers and Survivors can at least lessen some, though I know this isn't a magic post that will do that. I just hope it gives some people some food for thought! It seems like the "Survivors r toxic/ez" and "Killers r toxic/ez" posts are just an exhausting, nonstop constant these days. The finger pointing and animosity is so engrained in this community that even people who don't play this game will cite the community as a reason they avoid it. That's tragic and needs to change.
Remember that there are other gamers on the other side, who just like you have their frustrations but also their love of this game. Be kind to one another! And as always, happy gaming! <3
Like most said, I wish i could play a t Rank 20 like you, game is different there, play those 40 match at Rank1-3 killer, it's a different game, sometime I get super chill survivors but most of the time those 3k hours survivor ain't nothing to play with. Still good post.
-
I think they were a huge source of bugs too
-
I like it, the nurse recolor is a skin of her that i'm lacking and that i always liked, Élodie skin is pretty nice even tho I don't really play her.
All I wanted was the jake versus the squirrels charm one of the best bubblehead ish charm they got.
It's not one of the best for sure, the level 70 charm is like terrible.....looks like a dog toy

@fogdonkey said:
EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!
They will add an original killer and survivors with the same abilities and perks. Demogorgon, Nancy and Steve will be just special legacy skins for the new original killer and survivors.
The map will exist as a recolor. So the layout will be the same, only the colors and name will change, so that it is not "officially" Hawkins.
They never said that. They will add the perk as ''New'' perk on the shrine like they did with bill on console before he was added. As far as the Demodog or the maps, they won't be coming back in another form as far as we are aware
-
@TAG said:
Wait, what? So moving forward, there will be mechanically unique content that is just no longer accessible to new players? That seems really screwed up IMO.
Yep, seriously i don't ######### about BHVR a lot but goddamn if you can't make a deal to keep the license forever (so that people can buy it forever and keep the map you made with the chapters) why the hell would you get the license? .....Like i'm disappointed in BHVR and i mean I already have the chapter but it's just wrong and really weird for that to happen in a game.
-
@FancyMrB said:
What? No more hawkins map??? Why? How? What?
I am so confused... why is this happening? Has a chapter been pulled like this before?
Never happened before that. I don't like the fact that we are losing map.

Thank you for that, but seriously I liked Hawkins. Like they couldn't paid to have hawkins labs forever like the Demodoggo?
-
It's a super fun myer build in a indoor map, anyone aware of the shortcoming of the build (mostly anyone in red ranks) will just ######### on it tho just press W and he can't do #########. it's super fun tho most of the time.
-
It's actually one of the only classic i've slept on, guess i'm going to have to watch at like the first 2 movies, kinda hyped, tbh it's mostly because I just can't stand those FNAF fans making threads about Springtrap every damn time, so as long as he's not in the game, I'm buying Hellraiser chapter for sure.

@Zokenay said:
Without actually nerfing it.
Simply, considerably reduce the amount of points you get for hooking the same survivor multiple times in a row, to at least 50% of them, this applies for at least 1 min after said person got unhooked or someone else gets hooked, if the person gets tunneled a second time in a row, the hook will only give 25% of the BP.
This no longer applies if theres only 2 survivors in the match left (Since tunneling at that point is whatever)
I play solo and you know what piss me off more, dude unhook me without BT and then just crouch in a corner while i can’t do that because im not running IW, learn to take the aggro and i see that all the time playing killer, I’m going back to the hook and the only scratch marks lead me back to the injured guy.
-
Same even tho I’m a killer main I miss the old fog, all we get is the mediocre black mist that doesn’t do anything for anyone. I really don’t understand why they would nerf that, it wasn't game breaking and both killer and survivor could use it for their advantage , like you playing GF or hag pr even trapper to hide your trap or all your claudette main or stealth players.

I guess i will finally man up and practice nurse again.

@Friendly_Blendette said:
For me its an obvious SWF(matching paid cosmetics that look like ######### and arent in a set together or matching names) and keys. Its not so much oh people who use keys or are in a SWF are terrible people and deserve to be tunnelled camped and slugged every match its more that I know that the game is going to be quite a bit tougher and I can't really afford to swap targets constantly and give away free unhooks or else I will lose miserably.
Nothing but when i suspect it’s a sweat lord SWF, if i see that they mostly have 3k hours i just dodge and queue again. Killer queues be 2 seconds at night.

@TwitchyMike said:
I think I hardly ever see anyone play as Demo. And it's sad because I'd hope Stranger Things gets some more rep with the new iconic killer Demogorgon. I think he might just be slightly underpowered or maybe his powers could be switched up? How would yall rework him?
I do extremely well with the mini reworked demo at red rank, he’s fine. People like to say you need this add-on or that add-on but it’s not really true, he has some really fun add-on now. Also his portal are really really great late into the game more than in the beginning i think.
-
I already mained Kate,Yui,P3 cheryl,Meg.
Meg looks awesome now. I don’t like what they did to kate face tho, i have to agree with everyone on that.
On a side note i’ve now purchased 3 cosmetics for Nea and i’m getting all my perks on her, she looks good now, finally.
-
@Pizzaman said:
It's so adorable to see that there are so many new players that don't know that pallet reverse stuns existed way before the pallet stun validation.
Great to have you here!
Lol the problems isn’t stun is the hit not registering and the ability reproduce it easily .
-
I got to say i didn't mind it but now showing that, they need to fix it so that it only revert a hit if you are on the other side because now that ######### makes no sense.
-
nvm i'm dumb

@maaadinsomniac said:
They still think you don't need to have more than 60fps in this game because it's not esports game. So engine hard cap is 120 and now you can't change it with Engine.ini. I was playing this game at 60Hz monitor years before and it was not noticable, but after I switched to 144Hz I need to have 120fps minimum because my eyes start bleeding, rip my friend who have 240Hz and he must play this game on half fps of his monitor refresh rate now and they want us to play with 60(62)fps if you use default config file.
Yeah that's how i feel, 120 FPS is good but still, I have a 155hz display, that's the main reason I can't go back to 60 FPS lol. Minimum is in the 90 FPS otherwise it just doesn't feel right :(.
-
@NemIsLive said:
Its a hard cap at 120 FPS now? Seriously? Why?
I know it sucks, I think it's a side effect of the no modding, I think we can't change anything in the engine file.
-
This happens to me too, goddamn it BHVR......
-
Learning nemesis at red rank is terrible lol I can’t seem to figure out his damn tentacle, the 3 health states just mean I don’t want to use my power unless I get level 3 for the range…but I need to use my power for that. He’s really weird I guess I’m going to play blight he’s much more fun.
-
@TheBus4K said:
I was with the 60fps cap for a year, then I saw that it could be removed. There are a lot of videos on Google, and it's basically removing VSync on a file and doing something else.
I have been with the fps for 2 years without the cap and I haven't been banned, although it doesn't make sense that they can ban for this. Someone with a screen like mine with 165Hz becomes unbearable to play at 60Hz, it doesn't make sense that there is a cap.
If they don't remove the cap themselves with a game option it is basically for the same reason that there is no slider to change the POV, because the DBD programmers leave a lot to be desired or the developers are too proud to make changes to things which are obvious that they are out of date. The POV that the DBD has in 2021 is not even normal, but the developers don't care.
Since they let everyone uncap the FPS without any bad at this point I would said POV has nothing to do with FPS, it's just something they have yet to come around like colorblind mode which took 5 years. They probably won't change FOV but I wouldn't be surprised if they do had options for the graphics menu someday.
@agonizing said:
Does anyone have an idea? Also, does uncapping it result in a ban, or is it necessarily a bannable offense?
You'll have to edit the INI file, always played DBD (4 years now) with unlocked FPS and custom settings and never got banned, you'll be fine.
-
Are you oblivious ? They are redoing everything in DbD, every asset is getting changed.We are getting DbD 2 it’s just piece by pieces.
-
Finally I can dust off my Laurie P3 I sure hope they come out soon with the rework.
-
Survivor match were great no real problems, Killer I don't main, it was team that I felt bad for, which is expected for the first few match i'll see how it improves during the remaining days, but it isn't as bad as people say.
-
Low shouldn't remove that much shadow TBH, I always played on ULTRA, A good trick to get even more FPS is to put the shadows on HIGH , them alone will give you around 20-30 FPS with 0 difference.
I really don't know how any of you play with low and Nvidia filters, game just look horribles.
-
Dbd community ######### everytime anything get reworked, they want the old ass 32-bit asset and 3mb texture we used to have because they don't care they already play stretched with ultra low settings.😅
I kinda like nea rework.
-
I play SOLO survivor and you kinda need BT, never know when a killer is going to be proxy camping or just camping and when that happens you can coordinate with the other teammates to do generators.
Also to prevent other teammate to unhook without BT in front of the killer even at red rank survivor this happens smh.
I’m more of a killer main now tho and I don’t mind BT, I usually go for the unhooker if they are doing close to me but that’s me and if I do come back to the hook and the only person still there was the hooked I just have to wait maybe 3-4 second before hitting them.

Even stealth is only marginally helpful. Crouch walking EVERYWHERE helps Hag because of how much time it buys her. Combine this with Ruin (which is absurd on Hag), and nothing can get done. Nothing.
You won’t need to crouch walk everywhere 🧐, if you been playing for 4 years you would know that. If you are playing against decent hag then you known she’ll web a 3 gen usually that’s where you want to crouch and that’s where you want to pop a generator ASAP.
She has counter play, terrible hag will put 6 trap near a hook that also means there maybe only 4 trap somewhere else, it’s the equivalent of a face camping trapper just move on.
Good hag will usually put one around the hook and somewhere that’s not super obvious.
Also kudos on comparing Freddy and demodoggo to hag, they totally don’t play the same.
You would need the auto camera following otherwise you would just be disoriented as ######### depending on which side the survivor popped the trap and which side you were looking.
The only thing I would consider a Fix for hag is somehow remove the ability to use the mouse wheel as a teleport button, that feels cheap AF but I don’t know how BHVR would do that .
-
Well do you want a real answer or are you just venting? I started out as a survivor main, then now I mostly play killer, why do i think there's more survivor then killer?
- You can play SWF, for some this is a game they like to play with friends, you can't do that as killer
- Playing killer is a lot more stressful than survivor, it's a 4v1 so when your the 1, you can't blame teammate it's all on you and maybe that's not for some players.

@w00ters said:
I just started playing this game ~2 weeks ago, and peaked as a rank 9 killer. 80%+ of my games are 2-4 rank 1-2 survivors that are toxic as all #########, and even when I just say ######### it and open exit gates& stare at the wall so they will just leave, most of the time they wait til the very last second of egc to leave, and when I ask why bother extending it and not exiting, the response is to "troll/be toxic". Maaayyyybe 1 red rank surv will apologize about matchmaking/be not a dickhead, but that is the incredible small minority. I even tried de-ranking down to ~15 to get REASONABLE games(not expecting 4 sacrifices per game, but a game where i'm playing on a somewhat even playing field), but even there I'm still getting many red rank survivors that are thousands of hours on the game and giant dicks in the way that they play.
From searches, this seems to be prevalent and not a unique experience, and I guess i'm just gonna uninstall because I didn't start playing this game years ago to be able to actually have a chance and have fun(tried survivor, boring as ######### to me). Like I'm expecting a challenge, not perfect body blocks on first hooking event/constant tbags/everyone is a god at looping and 4 gens will be done before I've even caused 2 health states worth of damage.
I guess have fun with your long queue times on your gen-rushing simulator.
That’s really sad you uninstalled but it’s kinda how this game is for now until they implement MMR or something else like that. Because I didn’t play for 2 months and got the rank bug this reset was rank 13 and it was nothing but red and purple ranks, no matter what’s my rank it’s red and purple and for me I don’t mind I used to be red rank and omw there but I know for someone like you or even newer player like rank 13-14 being matched with someone with 1000 hours…. That’s feel bad man :(
-
I mean even when I was rank bugged to 13 they gave me red rank survivor, ain’t nothing but red rank in this game 🤪. TBH I also welcome mmr, that way I can try other killer sometime.
-
@snowflake102 said:
Cause as killer during chases I freeze for a moment then I lose the survivor. And as survivor when doing gens same thing freeze for a moment then boom gen explodes.
Hope there's a fix coming.
I have the same thing on PC happened like 1 patch ago or something.
-
People hating on the hag map 😥 myself i just can't wait for the update the maps are going to look amazing.Both as survivor and killer i don't mind those map anyways.
-
I mean when I play hag I do like putting a purple fog offering. Same if I play GF and I don’t mind it if survivor put one too.
