Dark Devotion + Oblivious on Obsession + Other Terror Radius perks
Title, I want to make sure I understand the interaction. Assuming no other survivors have Oblivious, would it be a case where the Obsession doesn't know they have the terror radius on them (Well, except for what I assume to be icons that they can look at), and even if other Survivors KNOW what's going on, that it's a fake…

Interaction with Monitor & Abuse and Infectious Fright
I'm trying to think up some lore builds, and I want to know how this works. Assuming only in a chase with one survivor, what happens when the survivor is downed: Does the Infectious Fright scream go off on the down, THEN the chase is considered ended, and the terror radius reduces after (So Infectious Fright benefits from…

How do regional servers work exactly?
I am in Eastern Europe, and recently learned about the London-Frankfurt servers. It seems I play on the Frankfurt ones (despite London being a bit closer to my location), where I find people with different alphabet and language.

EAC not lauching the game
I'm trying to play DBD through Game Pass, but I'm facing an error that prevents me from launching the game. The EAC loads to 100%, but the game never opens. After that, it simply closes. The only message I see is "Waiting for the game," but it never starts. In the Windows task manager, DBD shows up as running, but it…

Is Reshade still forbidden?
Just figured out you can inject SMAA through Reshade. It's good for removing aliasing, since it doesn't cause motion blur like TAA. However if I recalled correctly it became forbidden to use it at some point, is it still so?

How does Pain Res work on survivors?
So from what I know if we scream, the killer doesn't see a visual cue, but when the surv getss hooked, and we still hold the gen, we scream and seemingly bust the gen; like as if we miss a skill check (cause if we werent touching the gen, it'll just show a simple fizzle), does that busting notify the killer with a visual…

Legitimately What Am I Suppose To Do Here? (Reporting Format Is Unfriendly To Linux Users)
My Bug Report got canned because I didnt include the Player Logs.

I use Proton GE/Experimental for anyone that wants to help.…

Anyone know why I can't rekindle this totem?
I was playing the new map on a custom game, and I found this totem between two lockers. I was playing Houndmaster and even though I have Hex: Pentimento, as seen above, I can't rekindle this one. I could open both lockers but couldn't interact with the totem at all. Has anyone had this happen before?

Bring back the old dbd
Please bring back the OLD dbd, what is going on in the game now is disgusting! Updates, rank system, atmosphere and promises from developers! It's all garbage, the game from 2016 to 2018, was great, had potential from the development team, but they decided to throw everything in the trash and make the atmospheric chorus…

Is Pop Goes the Weasel applied after or before the normal generator kick regression?
Pop goes a weasel, if active, causes a generator to lose 20% of it's *current* progress when performing the damage action on a generator. The damage action itself however causes the generator to lose 5% of it's *total* progress. This means the order these are applied in matter. Let's look at the possible scenarios. Let's…

So approximately since the game moved to never version of the unreal engine me and some other people have the issue that basically prevents us from playing as the Blight.

Is installing dbd mobile now and getting the rewards allowed?

What is wrong with Dracula's fire? (Iridescent Ring Of Vlad)
I have big questions about Dracula's base power in vampire form - hellfire. Maybe I'm just a noob (yes, I am), but why does this thing work so crookedly?

Is DbD not using their GPU for anyone else?

Steam Deck Performance
The Steam Deck has finally become available here in the OCE region and I see it does appear DBD works on it fairly well. But I would like to know from high end/high refresh PC gamers who find 60FPS unbearable… is the experience on a Steam Deck pleasant or does it feel laggy and 'framey'?

What is the counterplay for flashbang?
When a survivor falls on a pallet, you can see them on the pallet. Your counterplay was to stop them from going down there. Now your counterplay is try to body block or scare other survivors away. When a survivor has a flashlight, you can see the flashlight. You saw it in the lobby. Your counterplay was to equip Lightborn.…

Is this hacking or bad luck with servers
I probably just played a 3 or 4 man SWF and moried one of them after the gates were open. After the animation, the survivor was still shown as downed even though he was already dead and the game continued briefly. Suddenly the match crashed and all 4 supposedly escaped while I got a disconnect message. Was this a hack or…

Can Killers Reactivate HEX: Pentimento?
I ran this perk as Chucky and downed an injured Kate who I could hear destroying a Dull Totem just before I knocked her down on Eerie of Crows map. I lit the Totem instantly while she was slugged so I'm guessing she saw me obviously. (I got too excited!) Shortly after she was hooked and unhooked, the Totem was destroyed…

About Hag's range add-ons
Which add-on (combination of them) from the Hag allows you to ALWAYS hit a survivor upon teleporting, while also not sacrificing too much from the trap trigger range? In other words, which trigger range add-ons are the most optimal for teams who keep triggering the traps in the edge of the range on purpose?
