How long is a FULLY charged Demogorgon shred?

My game wants to "update" every time i close the Epic Games launcher for 38GB
Anyone have this problem? It's only happening with DBD?? The first time i thought it was because of the new engine, but today is the same thing - I have to "redownload the whole game" as an update, but my game is up to date!.

The game isn't working.
After yesterday's update, I can't open the game, it crashes all the time. I tried everything I could (reinstalled the game, reinstalled DirectX and typed -dx11 in the Launch Options) and after that i managed to open the game, but now its crashing in the lobby! The game worked perfectly a few days before the update, but now…
I need help, can I do anything as an epic games player to prevent constant crashing?
Basically I have yet to get into a match, custom or normal lobby. I can get to the offerings screen, but as soon as I am in the loading bar screen the game mysteriously crashes. I have seen steam players input commands on startup but I don't think there's anything like that in epic games. Anything I should know?
Blurry graphics on xbox after recent update
Is anyone else having very blurry graphics after the most recent update on the series s? its so bad that it causes me and some others to get headaches.
How do I change rendering API to bypass this error?
So apparently the new upgrade to Unreal 5 is causing an issue with my video card. Despite what this error message says, my card cannot be have the drivers upgraded as it's an older card and 22.6.1 was the last update released for it. So, how now do I change the rendering API, or is this going to be a constant thing every…

Sprint burst, Window of opportunity, Kindred. I was considering Adrenaline but it recently got nerfed, Same thing with OTR but im not sure, I would like a opinion
Why do the people who play twins always recall victor the millisecond they can?
I've been noticing that since the update, twins have gotten stronger, yet the players seem to think that an instant recall makes the chase faster. As a person who enjoys the new twins, I tested what would happen if I allowed them to hold victor hostage for a bit, and I got massive value. The "babysitter" survivors ended up…

I don't understand one of the QoL changes to Twins
""Victor now glows red whenever he is vulnerable to being Crushed and white when he is invulnerable. The latter also prevents Victor from being stunned by Pallets."" Who's perspective is this talking about?? the survivors, charlotte, or victor?? Also how is victor invulnerable to being stunned by a pallet?? Whether you are…
Did they shrink Ada’s body size?
I don’t pay attention to this kind of stuff but my friend brought it up, so I thought I would ask on his behalf if anyone had any information. Honestly I see nothing wrong with her. Thoughts? (Didn’t want to report it as a bug because it might not be a bug) Here’s the screenshot of what he said to me.
Does DBD Use Directx12 Now?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else knows that is DBD using DX12 now? I can see that change happened, because tearscreening is more visible. Is it DX12 which is on or something else? I know u used to can change dx from steam settings. Game runs definitely better, although last time when I tested DX12 on DBD, I had more…

Will old rift cosmetics come back to the shop?
I’m wondering if old rift cosmetics like Claudette’s Montreal chill outfit and neas system smasher outfit will come to the shop. Old charms are now returning so I’m wondering if these will come back as well
Drone Injures
Has there been any word on the devs fixing Skull Merchant's drones so when they injure a survivor, it triggers perks that require an injure by any means - ie: Dissolution, Hex: face the darkness etc. ???
Could you get in a locker to use DS, and still keep OTR?
Lets say i'm running both DS and OTR. I get hooked, teammate unhooks me, killer goes after me. I hop in locker and he opens, then I DS and run away. Is OTR still active?? For this example, well within the 60 sec of DS's duration.

UE5 crashing nonstop & Infinitely loading Shaders when UE5 doesn't crash. How to fix?
Are the cosmetics in Deep Rift just the cosmetics of the Rift Tiers 1-70?
Hi. I'm confused. It seems that all the cosmetics in the deep rift pages 10 and 11 are just the ones from the pages 1 to 9. Is that correct? And if so, what sense does that make? I hope there is just something I'm not understanding but if there is no difference between free and premium deep rift, why show those skins there…
Are there plans to make more chapters cheaper?
I was browsing the DBD Wiki and noticed there is a new expansion pack planned for 14.5.2024. It includes the Artist, Dredge, Knight and Skull Merchant DLCs. My question: After the expansion pack will be released, will the prices of all characters included in these DLCs drop to 4500 Iri shards?
Compensation?
Im new to the DBD community so I don't know if haviour is like EA. My question: I already own the DLC: Tools Of Torments. From the steam store, sadly after I bought it they announce that "endless hunt" bundle and I cannot refund it. Will I get a discount or any compensation? I tried asking support but they told me to ask…

When does the PTB release?
Are they making any adjustments with the feedback we gave them?
What is a hard to swallow DBD pill?
By that I mean a thing that the community doesn't want to acknowledge even if it's true. In my opinion it's the fact that prestige doesn't equal high skill.
Why does it exist?!
Racoon city, it's a bad map. Pardon my words but like why are their so many pallets and vaults. I can't get a ######### hit in before I get 18 stuns. Lower the amount of pallets or something, do what you did Haddonfieldand make it smaller. Just fix ur map please bhvr
Why does DBD make my computer restart/bluescreen?
Asking for a friend, who has consistently had their computer restart or straight up bluescreen when trying to run the game. It works normally for a few seconds/minutes, and then randomly crashes without warning. All her drivers are up to date, her PC has good enough specs to run it, she's tried everything apart from…
What can I do, as a M1-Killer, about Holding W?
Last couple of days I tried some new Perk-Combinations with M1 Killers (in low-, mid-MMR games I guess). Everytime I don't use a Oblivious or Undetactable Perk/Item Survivors start running the moment they hear/see the Terror Radius. They don't loop or take any risk. They just run straight from pallet to pallet to window…
Is replying to my own comments to make them appear bannable?

Any plans to make more DBD board games?
Just recently discovered DBD has a board game. I want it. I want it mass marketed. I can't seem to find where to buy it anywhere. And I want the collector's edition. Pls make more. Thanks.
Killer perk idea
BHVR should make a perk that makes a pallet breaking sound when interacting with a pallet to make it as if you are breaking a pallet but your not. so you could catch the survivor off guard. sounds kinda dumb but it would be a cool meme perk
Blight: Look angle vs Turn rate
Adrenaline Vial Increases your maximum Look angle during a Rush by +20 ° Reduces your Turn rate during a Rush by -0.5 °/s. I don't understand the difference between Look Angle and Turn Rate. Blight's wiki doesn't mention anything about a 'look angle' and only mentions Turn Rate
How do I change my nickname?
Is it possible to report a player after a game/continuing?
I had a match against a player and they said some horrible stuff in the end-game chat, but I had clicked on "Continue" right as I saw it. Their steam profile showed that they were a TTV-er, so it was even on their stream that they were telling me to go end myself amongst other colourful things. Is it possible to report or…
What is Your Favorite Non-Meta Killer Build?
To reiterate the question, what build for any killer do you have the most fun running? (Emphasis on fun) I'm getting bored of running the same old meta perks like PainRes, Pop, Deadlock. I'm also getting bored of trying to focus my build entirely on securing a 4k every match. Lately, I find getting 1 or 2 kills while using…

Do Sole Survivor and Hope work when the killer closes hatch?
