A new EAC issue
Game not launching bc of EAC Hi guys, I need ur advice.. I’ve tried literally everything but the game EAC screen pops up and freezes my computer. I have tried Rebooting Re-installing the entire game Creating short cut of eac and pasting command to re-install Deleting eac folder in appdata and local and then checking files…
Crashes
Anyone else's game been freezing and then crashing recently? I got the exact same scenario all week of randomly freezing and crashing Wasn't sure if this is a known issue or not
keeping stats on postgame chat
i've been curious about how the actual sportsmanship and toxicity question around this game so so i decided that i'd keep score for a little while and report results my sample size here is 1000 games, which is admittedly fairly limited of the 1000 games: 721 were 'wins' (herein defined as 4k or 3k with hatch or exit gate…
New killer has built in Lethal Pursuer and corrupt, SUPER OP
Incase people haven't noticed, the new killer has a dog that she can sick on people. This actually has an ability that DBD hasn't listed in the effects and the devs are trying to sneak in. The moment survivors SEE the dog at the beginning of the trial... THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!!!!
Sadako needs to be buffed to her basekit and survivors turning off tvs
Her basekit she be bloody finger nails and also reikos watch along with old news paper. Also I’m sick of survivors turning off her tvs without any punishments they should get exposed or at least have their aura reveals every 5 second for turning off tvs. Survivors should get punished for turning off her tvs because she…
False Banned
Hello everyone, So I tried contacting behaviour without any success and im very concerned about what happend. Basically I was having an Uni Project installing Linux a second OS on my computer which took many ressources and made my Computer laggy. At the evening I tried to play DBD and it was not very smooth since I…
All the people complaining about killers running full gens slowdown builds watch this please
This is a video of a Xeno (aka a killer with a very strong antiloop power) running a full chase build (supposed to make said antiloop even stronger) getting absolutely obliterated by survivors doing 5 gens in less than 3 minutes. And then people wonder why are killers inclined to run full slowdown builds even on top tier…
Bitching about the twins being bugged 2 : The empire strikes back
I was playin the twins as normal when all of a sudden when i switched from charlotte to Victor he started moving much slower than normal and I lost both the ability to pounce or switch back to charlotte basically ruining the entire match. The twins had been working as normal up until that point, what the ######### is this?????
The fastest Chest opening speed
With the new buff to Chests in the Patch 8.4.0 which makes them open in only 8 seconds instead of the previous 10 seconds, to get the fastest Chest opening speed you need: Pharmacy: +100% Spine Chill: +6% Resilience: +9% A teammate with Leader: +25% (can only stack this once) A teammate with Better than New: +16% (not sure…
Moved: Can nurse have limited rotation ability after blink?
This discussion has been moved.
Well guess trying to be a good sport isn't a thing
I was facing a ghost face who DCed since they weren't having a good match gens flying and very few hooks but I mean also it was Vecna's map. So I send them a gg because hey they played fair and tried. Their response was basically saying to shut it and so on even though all I said was GG. The number of times I've DCed and…
New game mode idea
Got to thinking about a possible game mode. Survivors each get a killer ban choice. Killers that load into this game mode have access to all killers and perks and are given a set time to choose a loadout. This way survivors that believe they would have done better not playing against a certain killer can see if they were…
Any way to tell who brought what offering anymore?
Based on what I'm seeing after the recent HUD update, nothing correlates between offerings and players and who brought what anymore. It used to be that you could tell who brought what based on the scoreboard in-game. Not a bad change if they made it so you can't tell, just curious if anyone is still able to tell…
will DBD be updated for PS5 PRO?
will DBD get an update with 120 FPS on PS5 PRO?
"Means To An End" Challenge from Tome 6 Level 3, not working at all.
This challenge requires that you reset a pallet with Yui Kimura's perk Any Means Necessary, and then use the same pallet to stun the killer, and it should be done. Nothing I do makes it proc, or register, and the most frustrating part is that it needs to be done only 1 time. PC/Steam Tried different maps, characters,…
I welcome the new killer perk "Shoulder the Burden"
I've seen a lot of people saying how powerful this perk is and I must agree. Being able to run a perk for killers but waste a survivor perk slot is going to be fantastic :) On paper it looks fantastic. "OMG we have anti tunnel perk wooooo" but when you really really think about it your just helping killers. Here a couple…
Survivors don't rescue on hook in 2v8
This is why i play killer people dont seem to rescue other Survivors in this mode and people dont heal anyone else dealing with the same?
I died so much during the Halloween event that my mmr has tanked badly
I figure I died in 9 out of 10 games. The event was way too killer sided. My mmr as survivor got to a point that my teammates are clearly new judging by the characters and cosmetics they are using, and when I investigate their Steam profile, I see a bunch of people with 30 or 50 hours of game. I even saw someone with 2…
Why people don't rescue you until you try suicide?
I hate the survivors who only go for generators (rarely) and will stay on it for as long as they can even resulting in their teams deaths on hook, but the second you want to ######### on the hook because you realize they're never coming to get you when it's been your first hook but you're already on second that's when…
What business would each Killer own?
Plague’s Dry Cleaners? Doctor’s Electric Company? Demogorgan’s Travel Agency? What business(es) would each Killer own? Edit: Wraith’s Ghost Hunting Technologies Hillbilly’s Heavy Item Movers Skull Merchant’s Background Check Database The Twins’ Photo Shoot ft. Danny Johnson
Anybody else play hide and seek?
Im tired of the last two survivor slugging. I know if I'm one of the last two... And that other person gets slugged, I don't rescue... Sure I may not get hatch and I might still get moir, but if they are gonna waste my time... Wasting theirs. Dumbest idea ever. At least before it wasted an offering slot...now they can run…
When are you going to address the Shape?
We all know he is useless and needs all the changes and better add-ons, but now that you've handed every killer a finihser mori on a silver platter for free, it's about time to fix The Shape's Mori add-on. What's the point of it now to have Mori's on top of Mori's? Just spawn survivors on hooks or in a grave atp.
Myers finally feel good
The Shape - BasekitIncreased Evil Within I movement speed to 4.4 m/s (was 4.2 m/s) Increased maximum stalk per Survivor to 20 points (was 10) Decreased the amount of Evil Within required to reach Evil Within II to 3 (was 5) Increased the Evil Within gain multiplier when stalking from afar to 1 (was 0.1) Decreased the Evil…
A tunneling Freddy
Sit down children I've got a wonderful story for you with a brilliant hidden meaning. Once there was a Steve, just playing a random build. He meets a Freddy on the Lich's borgo. This killer puts a teammate Nea in the basement (oooooh scary) when he thinks it's safe, Steve makes his way down to save her, with babysitter to…
What is the counterplay in chases against Xeno?
So, I am requesting help here because I am afraid I do not understand what are you supposed to do against a Xeno when you are being chased. If you hold W you get hit, if you vault a window you get hit, if you go for pallets you get hit, if you try to loop him you get hit. Turrets aren't available every single time, and…
Rip Tony Todd Aka Candyman hope to join dbd soon
Anyone else frustrated with this game on both sides?
I tried playing DBD today after a week break and I just found myself to be getting so frustrated playing killer and survivor. Had a few good games but my overall experience was not great. I’m hoping maybe 2v8 will be a lot of fun because I sure enjoyed that.
Anyone else feel like teabaggers stayed shorter during the event?
Title. I don't know if it's my imagination, but when the event was taking place, endgame teabaggers ended up staying a lot shorter than before/after the event. Maybe it's because the Killer actually had something to do to gain points? Let me know what you've experienced.
Ghostface
Can we fix ghostface pleeease! I can literally be looking at him & it does not reveal him at all. I know it shouldn't be & isn't instant but I get marked EVERY time I don't get it. When I play him people can't get enough of revealing me, yet I'm not doing anything different. He's meant to be stalking without being seen, so…
200+ ping
I have changed my net connections from wifi to personal data, and the former is actually faster for downloads where I get Download speed reaching 50Mbps+ while downloading games on Steam. The latter is not as quick but does better on the game. Either way it is a problem which seems to stem from a dearth of servers in our…
QoL for PS5
I could mention that not everyone is a fan of the new menu layouts anyway, I'm still trying to get used to it. It's not game ruining or anything it's just it felt like a big kinda unnecessary change. I'm more making this post to say while I understand adding the search bar for perks, charms etc. (the charms menu being…
Hooks vs. Slugs. Which Tactic is Best?
I'm really trying to find some benefit in the hook playstyle in 2024. It's gotten to the point where not just spreading 12 hooks, but even camping and tunneling with hooks is not as effective for killers. All my calculations say that now the most profitable tactic for a killer is to slug when all 4 survivors are on the…
Freddy rework (choy)
So choy said that there hasn't been any good community concepts for Freddy and after he started talking about a few concepts I completely understand where he's coming from. Like the gen illusions that make you repair fake gens is so dumb. When playing Freddy it should feel like a game that's rigged in your favor and that's…
sadako sucks
to preface this post I am a sadako main with 3k+ hours on her. I have mained her since release and have played every single iteration of her the point of this post is not to say that her older iterations were good but rather to point out how weak she is. current sadako is only a slightly better version than release sadako,…
Recent original DBD killer characters
I want to talk about the recent dbd killer characters and specifically I want to talk about the last 3 years of characters. I don’t want to talk about gameplay just there character design and lore. Out of all the characters that have been added IMO dredge, unknown and singularity have been peak fiction. There lore is…
Get rid of finisher mori!!!
why did they even keep it no one but killers want that boring trash. get rid of the damn finisher mori
PSA
PTB is an abbreviation for Public TEST Build. That doesn't mean it's you getting to test out the definitely-final version of the next killer, it means the killer in the PTB is being Tested for balance and bugs. BHVR are going to try to fix the bugs - that is, if you report them! Saying "I'm not gonna buy this chapter…
DBD Board Game Is HEAVY Survivor Sided!😭
Me and my friends finally bought the game after it came back in stock and played it today! It was a 4 man out every single time! 3 injuries and one hook was the most we got as killer. It’s essentially impossible to win as killer lol. We had to create our own rules for killers to remotely stand a chance. Doctor doesn’t have…
Why Tony Todd’s character Candyman should be in dbd
I have been asking for Candyman to join dbd for years. I think since Tony Todd has passed away I think Candyman and his voice lines should join dbd
Is myers getting a rework next year?
I was watching the newest spookyloopz video and he said that myers is getting a rework next year. Is he slated for more changes?
There are some combos that I don't think should be possible in this game
Okay, so I'll just start by pointing out that to have fun with the game, I really don't need to escape every match as a survivor. But sometimes, when I see certain combinations of perks that killers use and I know that the match isn't going to give me fun and there's little chance of escaping, I often just want it to be…
Can sables menu theme can get changed it’s so drastically annoyed every time I hear it
The new map is beautfiul
This is the only new map that actually looks next gen i really wished the other maps released recently looked like this graphically also another problem is the other maps look so diffrent, like they all have diffrent art styles but this map gorgeous, props to the art team
If there is ever a second castlevania chapter
survivor idea: Sypha Belnades Killer: Carmilla and her two sisters Or if you do 2 survivors make Grant the other one

Unfortunately Never getting Tony Todd’s Candyman in DBD
Sadly, he has passed away at age 69😔 …RIP to The Legend🪝 A Candyman Chapter wouldn’t be the same w/o him.
Why does the Dracula narration have to have that 1931 Dracula voice?
you know the one. Also I find it interesting that the story mentions that Sypha enter the room with Trevor and Alucard but she’s not animated in the cutscene
Hook Stages HUD On Each Survivor for Killer When?
If a killer is gonna tunnel they already know who's on death hook. Hiding hook stages count for each survivor only annoys killers who go for 8 hook 0 kills, which is annoying to keep track of. Giving killers this HUD info rewards this challenging and healthy playstyle which should always be encouraged
What about adding something from Smile?
introducing Dr. Rose Carter and Skye Riley into the fog! As both were cursed by The Smile another entity lurked. As The Smile took over drove them mad the entity feasted of the fear negative and fearful instincts. Eventually The Smile takes control leaving nothing of Dr. Rose Carter and Skye Riley. The entity finally…
