Any other options for me other than Lightborn?
I have to run Lightborn every single match that I play as killer because the blinding effect hurts my eyes in real life. I have adjusted my TV brightness extremely low and it doesn't help.

Stopped playing after Ch.18: A Binding of Kin. Decided to come back to the game. Have questions.
Firstly, I’m seeing a lot of complaints (I know this isn’t new in this community but I’m noticing it’s a lot more than usual this time). Some players are saying they don’t play as often anymore and some even decided to quit the game. So what exactly happened? Any survivors/killers worth getting? What are the best perks…

Genuinely curious as to why Xbox was ostracized from the anonymous mode feature.
It’s been well over a month since Switch and PS was given access to the feature. I’ve been in many games recently where every player except me was using anonymous mode. It’s uncommon now to find any match without at least one person using the feature. Can us Xbox players get some specifics as to why it’s still not…
Disconnection from host.
Havent played the game in months, maybe even a year, then i come back, play 3 games and everytime i try to join a lobby it puts me in it for between 5-10 seconds, it kicks me and says "Disconnection from host." I ask the mods politely not to remove this, since i cant ask this anywhere but here, on reddit they just…
What are boosted maps?
I saw that “boosted maps” are part of the countdown to the anniversary. From my understanding they are just boosting the chances to go to a realm from the first couple of years? Or is it something else like the maps are different?

I saw the roadmap during the anniversary stream and I saw no mention of a twins rework but only a skin, are they still getting a rework? If so is there an eta?
Achievements and cross-progression
Hi, I have a question on whether it's normal to lose all your achievements when you link your Epic Games account to Steam. Because I've done that and all my former achievements are gone. Was this always going to be a risk that you'd be taking with cross-progression? 😥 Thanks in advance.

Double rift fragments in tomes
Soon there will be an event which provides double Rift Fragments and I don't know if it provides double rift fragments only for those that we get through xp or also those that we get in tomes
Massive amount of Rift fragments upon log in???
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this or if I need to file in a bug report. I'm aware DBD is giving daily bloodpoints and Rift fragments upon logging in during this current event, but I had jumped from tier 70 (where I was last night upon logging out) all the way to 85 (max tier) when I logged in this…

Hi! Does anyone know what happens if you downgrade from the PS5 version of DBD back down to the PS4?
I played DBD on PS4 until the PS5 upgrade came out. I got my platinum trophy for PS5 version but want to go back to PS4 because I was close to platinum on PS4 too. I want to know if this will mess with my PS5 progress if I go back or if progress is constantly synced up between PS5 and PS4 versions. For instance, will my…
Is Pain Res bugged?
It says it has a token for each individual survivor, but in reality, the killer can hook the same person twice and get value out of it (it still uses the token.) It happened many times in my games recently, and it is really annoying. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's intended, but reading the perk's description, it…

Does Autodidact’s speed boost apply to dying survivors?
I know that healing a dying survivor won’t get you any tokens toward the speed boost as it doesn’t trigger skill checks, BUT I’m wondering if the penalty/bonus applies to healing dying survivors as well? I don’t see why it wouldn’t but you never know and I can’t find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance!
When is the PTB?
Do we know when the PTB is? I thought it was today but obviously not.
Flashlight advice
so the newest tome page has a challenge to get a flashlight save, and I am absolutely garbage at pulling this off. I see other survivors just run up to the killer and get the saves right away, no struggling to adjust their angle or anything, and I just don't get how they make it look so easy. I know the add-ons have a…

For example the one I just faced was the demo and he did it
Survivor Wiggle Movement thing
What is that weird wiggle that some survivors do that just seems to make your swing miss? I'm playing on Switch and I dont know if it's that killer auto aim thing that they know how to exploit, if its something with sensitivity, and if its something that's reproducible on Switch while I'm playing survivor.

My friend and I live about 20 mins from each other but seem to be on different servers?
Neither one of us use a VPN and we are in the same timezone. Why is it that when the lobby belongs to me, our ping is higher than if the lobby belongs to him? We also seem to get more killers from South America when in my lobbies. I'd like to fix this if possible but I don't know where to begin because I don't know what…

How can I become a voice actor for dead by daylight?
I have always wanted to voice a survivor character in dead by daylight, and I would say I'm pretty talented in making visceral noises and such, all the screaming and pain noises. I just always wondered how I could go about doing all of that because I haven't really seen casting calls before for the game maybe I'm just not…
