Freddy's lullaby plays while undetectable?
Pretty simple question does anyone know if Freddy's lullaby still plays when he's undetectable? I'm guessing it does because huntress's does but idk
Error code 4
Has anyone had any success with fixing EAC error code 4? I've been experiencing it ever since the D&D chapter launched, and have been entirely unable to play. All former posts I can find on the matter lead to dead ends. I play on the microsoft store version of the game, and have done as recommended on the support page, to…

What is supposed to happen if an awake survivor falls asleep while waking up an asleep survivor?
I played against a Freddy and my Sleep Timer was almost full when I started waking up my teammate who was already asleep. My timer filled up and I fell asleep while still in the process of waking up my teammate, but I was still able to finish the action and wake them up. Is this intended, or a bug?

How to set custom frame limit on PC?
Since they added the new options to the settings menu on PC with the alien chapter last year, it doesn't seem like a custom frame setting via the gameusersettings.ini file is possible anymore. I know you can edit the frame limit in game, but it's only in increments of 30. I edit the file, i even make it read-only, and the…

About Harrasament ban
Dead by daylight players often get emotionally involved and come up with all kinds of bad words about other players based on the way they play and how toxic it can be to play as a killer It seems unfair to me that a player who talks bad gets ban for a month, ok, I understand, he talks bad then you take the right to talk…
Basic Lore Question
So, I mostly just like Dead by Daylight for the lore instead of actual gameplay. I understand a lot of the lore, but there's just one thing I've never been able to grasp: what is the Dredge? I know he's supposed to just be a manifestation of negative emotions, but what is he really? (Like, as a species). I know the…
Experiencing technical issues with the game since Vecna
Character played - Jonah, Ash, Nea, Vecna, Knight, Freddy Perks played - [too many to count] Map - multiple maps, no correlation Frequency of the issue - every second match Since the Vecna update my game keeps crashing, again. The last time I had the same issue was during the Xenomorph DLC, then an update got added and it…
Spouse and I play on the same wifi; why do I keep getting random disconnects and they don't?
For the record, neither of us have ever intentionally disconnected from a match. I play on PC through Steam, and the other person plays on Xbox. They've only been disconnected maybe 3-4 times, whereas it has happened to me over 10 times (and has only been picking up recently in the past few days), and I've only been…

PC - Game freezes on launch
Hi! Currently I'm encountering an issue where I can't play the game as it freezes after getting through the first 'dead by daylight' screen. It won't go to the part where you press space/any key to load up the game. The only fix I've found is to reinstall my GPU driver (which is up to date), and it's becoming really…

New In-Game Item Description, Toggleable?
Is it possible to toggle off the new in-game item descriptions? I’ve played long enough that I don’t need all that on my screen.
Do stuns technically count as the Hindered status effect on killers?
My friend was doing a challenge one time and I think I remember him saying that getting a normal stun counted as part of his "apply the hindered status effect to killer x amount of times" challenge. So I'm just asking this question to confirm because I don't know for sure, nor do I really remember the conversation…

Cross-Progression Question
I know BHVR has not talked too much about it but if I have progress on Console and I moved to PC, can I transfer the progress I made from my Console account to my current PC account (Prestige, Cosmetics, Auric Cells/Iri Shards, etc.)? I am aware that we can transfer our existing stuff to basically a fresh PC account, but…
Why can't I see my friend's chat messages but everyone else can?
After an update around last Halloween I could no longer read my friend's in game messages but they can read mine. Other friends can see this friend's messages and mine as well. The only problem is from my end. Nothing on Google has helped me.

PC help anyone?
Hey everyone, idk if I'll even get any attention to this post, but I wanna try anyway. I got my PC this past December and early on this past month, I bought a couple upgrades for it: namely, a new CPU, GPU, and a liquid cooler that has become the bane of my existence. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to just take…

Is this Skull Merchant Addon Secretly broken?
I already know that Skull Merchant alone is a controversial topic, but while looking at her add-ons, I saw the "Adaptive Lighting" add-on. The add-on says, "Increases the duration of the Undetectable status effect by 20%." It doesn't explicitly specify if this affects only the undetectable status effect you get after…

NA east servers/DC penalty
I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m on my third 3 day penalty. I have had an Ethernet cable connecting my pc directly to my router. Everything used to work great, even if my WiFi was a little shotty sometimes. I played for two years on this wifi and only ever had a couple DCs every now and then due to it, maybe 15 min at…
Is there a way to filter which killers i am able to get matched with?
I have some mental health problems (im not disclosing them for safety reasons) that make hallucinations/hallucination related things INCREDIBLY triggering, but i keep getting into rounds with The Doctor. This means im often needing to exit the round before i even start playing (making the game worse for everyone im playing…
Are you experiencing disconnections before and during games?
I am experiencing too many disconnections, when I have not even been in a game for 5 minutes. This morning I logged in at 10:00am to play, and in a few minutes the game froze and kicked me out, indicating a disconnection from the server. They blocked me from searching for players for 24 hours. And I've already had 6 hour…

Is there a way to drop your mmr?
I can't seem to get lobbies where it is equal anymore. I just get people who are good at looping. Extremely frustrating since I am not good at mind games or trying to counter there looping or moonwalking. In all honesty I loose track of people easily to the point of mind gaming myself. Since I strictly play only M1 killers…

How do green glyphs work?
The archive description says they spawn when survivors are hooked or generators are repaired fully. I'll scavenge the entire map for them and I'll only get a couple despite numerous gens popping and people hooked. I know that other survivors (and killers I think?) with the same challenge can steal the green glyphs from…
