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.
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…
Did they make piping harder?
I play not as much as i used to and i notice i barely make it to gold 4 now each month, when previously i would at least make it to iri 2. However, if i pay attention to my matches i still get A LOT of emblem points, when looking up older videos i see the amount of points i make on average each trial hasnt really changed.…

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…
DBD keeps crashing, "known issues with graphics driver"
TL:DR; My graphics card doesn't support the drivers the game is asking for, crashing insues. 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 ?
I reported Nurse’s bugs today cause she has been bugged for 8-9 months now and 5 minutes after I posted it, it went from pending to ”under review”, hours later, it got ”acknowledged”, but the note says : ”Thank you for taking the time to report this issue, we are forwarding this to the team for their review”, which means…
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?
I accidentally linked my alt Xbox account to my Behaviour account a while back, only recently seeing it. I tried to unlink it and link the correct account, but I got a message saying that I cannot link an Xbox account different from the previous one. 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…

For Nintendo Switch User - Cross Progression Question

What's the best key binds for controller? | PS5
One of my biggest gripes about playing on a controller is having multiple actions bound to one button. Examples are: Throwing a pallet, healing teammates, vaulting, and even disarming traps are all bound to the R1 button by default. Any tips to make my key binds not all do the same actions are welcome and appreciated,…
Best resources for new players to learn?
l’m a new player, started about two or three weeks before 2v8 started. I’ve been trying to watch videos on YouTube about getting better, especially at survivor.
