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.

No voicelines on the Cenobite
So yesterday I bought the Cenobite, and my first few matches with him I got all the voicelines (when teleporting to the box, hooking a survivor, etc...), but today I played him again and I suddenly get no voicelines from him at all. It's like my 10th match now and he just went completely mute in all of them. Not a single…

After a few matches, games frame rate tanks
After playing a few matches, my frame rate will become a slideshow. Whats odd is that it will be "fixed" if I hit escape during a match, then as soon as I swing for an attack as killer, the frame rate will just go to a slideshow. IE: I get into a match, frame rate will be terrible, then I hit escape, it will be back to…

I want to know if the Block button in the game actually works ?
I want to know if the Block button in the game actually works. Today, I played Solo Survivor and encountered a toxic player (on my own team). I had an argument with him after the game in the chat.

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…

Please bring back the OLD dbd, what is going on in the game now is disgusting! Updates, rank system, atmosphere and promises from developers!

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…
