New Computer - DBD Account Steam
Hello everyone, just a quick maybe dumb question, but it is for safety…. I am playing on the Windows PC Steam Version with an activated Steam Cloud. When I install Steam on a new PC, log into my Steam Account on which I used to play on my old PC, and download DBD, is my DBD Account there? Kind regards!
Completely unable to link my Nintendo Switch account
Hi, I've been waiting for cross progression for 4 years ❗️❗️ so I was stoked when it FINALLY came out earlier this week. I went and created a BHVR account yesterday, and connected my discord and my Steam accounts. I have not synced anything yet. When I attempted to connect myNintendo Switch account, I got this message:…
For some reason autorun enables?
Me and a friend encountering this problem allot lately and we did not have it before? For some reason sometimes autorun is enabled in the middle of a chase and we can't do anything anymore in the match. I am guessing its like a combination of shift and walking forward or sideways… its really annoying and i dont know how to…
Future 2v8 questions
Will we be able to vote which killers will be added if there is a second iteration? I assume its also going to be just 5 (+ the previous ones so 10 total). Is it going to be more or less than 5? I assume licensed Killers wont be available ever? Any chance that there will be double killers available in the future? This…
How to tell if you are in lunging distance?
Whenever I play as killer I almost always just barley undershoot my lunges and whiff or don't think I can get a hit and miss out on what should be a guaranteed hit, is there a way I can tell if I'm actually close enough to hit a lunge?
You can't play a specific killer in Customs on PTB if you don't have them?
Why do I have to buy them just to test something in a Custom by myself?
Is there a fix for being unable to invite friends on the same platform? (Xbox Series)
It's in the title. When inviting or being invited by any of my friends on the same platform, after a long wait of nothing, the game just pops up an error stating that the invite failed and is no longer available/valid/something of the sort. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just part of the developers' seemingly intentional…

Invite Accept Failed?
Issue made itself known yesterday when I tried inviting my partner. And they couldn't join, saying the text above basically, same thing happened if they invited me. This never happened when we played together before I did the account merging stuff for cross progression so I've no clue why doing so has borked this up. Only…

PC - Game crashes when opened
Since the new update, I've been unable to play the game nor start it even. This is the steps it takes to crash: Step 1: Click on the game on Epic Store. Step 2: EasyAntiCheats bar loads super fast. Step 3: Game crashes. I've tried everything. Uninstall the game, verify the files, reinstall Epic Games, look for updates on…

Why won’t it link to my new account after unlinking it from my old account
A while back before cross progression was a thing I made a behaviour account to try cross progress between steam and my Xbox. On that old account I linked epic games and steam. Earlier today after finding out cross progression has came to dead by daylight I made a new behaviour account as I forgot about my old account. I…
Need help, still missing DLC after Cross progression
Hey! Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I'm losing my mind and besides a few others on twitter I'm not finding any fixes. After using cross progression to sync my xbox account to my PC, I have seemingly lost all DLC that aren't duplicates or bought with cells, I've put in two tickets and still haven't…
i've been having a connection issue, like wifi error, you need to have a wifi connection to play.
Killers: Who do you chase?
When you come across the whole survivor group, who do you choose to the chase when theres multiple choices? what draws you? What makes you say "Thats my target"? Personally… I'ma dood…. so when i come across them, my eyes can't help but get drawn to skimpy outfits, or bright colors… plus the bright colors, in my opinion,…
If i were to buy a chapter pack with the survivors and killers i already have, what would happen?
for example: I already have Nemesis, Jill & Leon. But i go to buy the Resident Evil DLC pack. Will it give me the amount of cells the characters are worth or will it do nothing?
Unplayable due to stuttering
Im coming back to dbd after probably over a year of break, and the game is no longer playable. There are constant stutters every 1-2 seconds that pretty much puts the game on being to an unplayable state. I tried -dx11 as a launch option but that only helped slightly, the game is still on an unplayable state. Any…

Game not runnin at all
So, i've been playing dbd for a while, but i stopped briefly before update 7.7.0, when the game began to use UE5. Since then, the game became totally unplayable. First, it did not start, being stuck on a "rendering shaders" or something like that. Changing the game to force DX11 worked to bypass this, however, i still…
Tips on how to spin the killer on console?
Okay, so I play on an Xbox One and started the game in late November last year. I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess I'd say I have around 500 hours. Just for a general idea of my skill level I'd say I'm: Adept at looping Good at mindgames Great with flashbangs Bad with flashlights Bad at most techs, with the…

Long version: I recently came back to DBD after a 2 year break from the game and I've been having this issue where, at complete random, when playing killer the game will freeze for a second - tp me a few steps forward - and then…
My bug report is ”acknowledged”, does that mean the devs are aware and are reviewing the bugs ?

What does everyone think of the Sable battlepass skin?
I think the wings are redundant, kinda weird and wish there was an option to not have them, on the head at least. The head would be so cute without them imo. EDIT: Wearing the head piece for the first time in game and I actually hate it. I was SO excited for this cosmetic :(
How do you spend "free" periods on consoles if you still need a subscription to play?
Your official post (including in clubs on consoles) indicates that starting July 25, you can log in to the game for free... Today is July 26th, the game still requires a subscription! Why is that? If I buy a Game Pass or a PS subscription, then DBD will be in the subscription anyway. What is the essence of the free period…
Can I eventually link the correct Xbox account?

Will I be able to link the correct account at some point or am I screwed…
BHVR stole my money

Input delay on Steam?
When I play DBD on an Xbox with a TV, I have no problems hitting skill checks, but when I play on Steam using a gaming laptop and Xbox Series X controller (via USB) I can never hit skill checks. I have tried completely disabling V-sync, finding a better internet connection, changing my graphics settings, and re-mapping my…
DBD keeps crashing my System/OS
Long story short: whenever i try to play the game, it crashes my entire PC to the point where it auto reboots. I get no error message nor a blue screen, just a straight up blackscreen, followed by a system reboot after a few seconds. I've checked my entire hardware at this point, and verified that every single driver, as…

Do Killer add-ons stack or not?
I watched an Otz clip saying not to run certain add-ons with The Pig because they don't stack. How do you know which, if any do stack? Myers has a few that increase the stalk, do they stack? Freddy has a couple that reduce time to teleport for each Survivor in the dream world, do those stack?
Advice on PS4 to PS5 Next Gen Upgrade for DbD
So I recently enabled cross-progression to transfer from Nintendo Switch to a PS4 that I bought long ago and barely touched. I bought the digital DbD game on ps4 and repurchased the DLCs I needed and paid $80 for an online membership. Today, I ordered the PS5 and it should be here Friday. When I get the console, do I just…

Question to the devs: What triggers a protection hit?
A friend of mine went against Pyramid Head while doing his protection hit challenge. He went to take a body block on a injured team mate but the killer used his M2 instead of his M1 and didn't get a protection hit. I am going to assume that protection hit only happen if any killer use M1 instead of using their powers (m2)…
What happens if Switch cross-progression players buy the rift?
My original account is on Nintendo Switch but I'm playing on PS4 (PS5 starting tomorrow). I still have over 3,000 auric cells on Switch which I have to spend on Switch. So, what do you think would happen if I bought the rift pass on Switch? I'm currently level 33 and plenty more auric cells to unlock in the rift. If I'm…
