How to deal with Dredges Nightfall?
I just faced Dredge the second time now, and haven't bought her myself yet so i can't go for testing on her. Just this really newbie-like question: What to do at nightfall, as a Surv? I barely see anything, and lockers are a no-go if playing against Dredge as far as I can remember? You just go on doing gens and stuff,…
How to remove the game's splash screen?
While waiting for the game to open, the trailer of the Alien chapter constantly appears at the end. Is there any way to remove or turn this off?
Is This Reportable? Please Don't Set Me on Fire.
Okay, so I'm playing Nurse, and I caught a survivor body blocking another in a doorway. I proceeded to blink through them, go after the sandbagger, down them and camp them out of the match. If the douche clipped me nodding at the other survivor as they left them to die, could that be reportable as working with the other…

What is your favorite year in DBD and why? (You can specify several years at once)
My favorite years were 2018 and 2019. Then, in my opinion, there were some of the best chapters, again for me personally. I liked the old maps, their visuals, the old character models, the old Freddy, the old Billy, the old balance of perks and killer skills (yes, I liked playing against Nurse 3 Blink or Nurse 6 Blink :DD)…
hey have the devs said anything on crossprogresion between microsoft store/windows and steam?

Is it bannable for dying survivors to crawl on top of one another?
Like if I have been picked up and dropped, and the killer cannot pick me up without me wiggling free, and I crawl on top of another downed survivor so that the killer can't pick them up without possibly grabbing me instead. Is this a valid strategy or abuse of an exploit?
any idea how long it takes for the killer to drop the survivor?
is it the same time as the pickup animation?
Hiding names in trials?
I've seen some content creators who have the players' names completely hidden during the match, and I'm wondering, how do they do that? All I can find are settings to change player names to their characters' names. One person suggested Anonymous Mode, but when I tried that, it still showed the other players' names during…
Why are some survivor displays outlined with white in the game menu and some are not?
Talking about this screen: Why doesn't Cheryl Mason have a white outline? None of them were bots, none of them were crossplay. It varies with every game, sometimes nobody has one, sometimes multiple people have it. (It being the second person in this one is just coincidence, it's not consistent)
Why isn't Haddie's Fogchaser skin available with shards?
The skin came out on August 22nd and September 19th would of been 4 weeks.
Trapper traps on stairs
I always thought the trapper couldn't lay traps on stairs. However, I see traps on stairs more and more often. Am I wrong and the trapper can lay traps on stairs or is it a bug/exploit?
Extreme, unplayable FPS drops?
Is anyone else getting this issue? It's started happening around the time of The Singularity's mid-chapter patch, but has been getting worse and worse. I had a forum post detailing it as a bug but I was basically told it's not, and to come here.

What’s a Solo Q perk you like seeing other people run?
I like seeing empathic connection with all the heal nerfs it’s nice having somewhere to run when you need healed or help. It’s cool it’s like a boon, but it’s a person. I really like the idea behind it and boons being safe spaces. It fits the Yoichi character well I think. If the heal part was faster I bet I’d see it more…

How does DBD League scoring work?
I was watching some DBD League on Youtube today and was wondering how points work. I see that a first hook on a Survivor is 3, hook states afterwards are 2 each. Generators are 2 each.

Does someone elso experience fps drops after the new update when picking up or hooking survivors?
Since any "technical problems" cannot be connected to bugs for some reason, I will try my luck here. Since the update I experience sever fps drops when picking up or hooking survivors. Nothing similar happens on survivor side, nor during the chase or other actions as killer. It does not even always happen when I play…

Why can survivors kill themself at the hook and instandly que for a new game and killers are forced to play even when its over? The whole problem with toxic SWF groups, holding game hostage, would be solved if the killer could just surrender the game. For toxic players the game would become very soon very boring since all…
