So some were scammed buying the game now. ANSWERED by our hero not_queen
With the continued ignorance of ignoring the issue of no Sydney servers on Xbox, the platform is broken and good players gone. The servers were announced of course, so when they don’t come that’s the definition of a scam for anyone who bought the game from that information.
Ps4 pc are the only ones with servers and it looks like it’s because of money and I have no idea about Nintendo.
Spread the word anyone effected. Say their scammers. Our voices arnt heard because were alone and a underdog against higher people in abused power.

Ps4 and PC only have Dedicated servers...? Uh... You mean All platforms have servers.. Cause I play Xbox and we have the worst servers (when playing survivor). So every platform has servers... so I don't know what you are talking about.
Plus... if you are new to the game How the old matchmaking without the servers worked was as so:
•Killer's connection = 25 to 15 minute wait
•Survivor load times = 5 to 15minutes
•Latency is based off of Killer's ping.
Heres how new matchmaking works:
•Killer = Instantly (within 1-3secs) finds a match with 4 survivors.
•Survivor = Instantly (within 1-3secs) finds a match with 3 Survivors and 1 Killer.
•Latency is based off the Server's ping (which is definitely not optimized for consoles at the current moment)
I even noticed the differences. They are subtle, but you weren't lied to. The servers are indeed here.

This went right over your head.
There is no server based in Australia for x box
Aussies have 200 ping.
5 -
Ah yes, the Australians are rebelling. I seem to remember League of Legends also forgetting to put in a server in Aussie territory.
Welp, all you can do is wait.

To be fair I'm in tennessee and have 150 ping

Australian's on PC and PS4 are connecting to a dedicated server in Singapore, that's our closest server, getting pings from around 50 to 100, as far as I know there is no DBD server in Australia, there may be plans for one, who knows.
But it seems XBox players are not getting connecting to that server, they are getting pings over 200.

Pc ps4 is confirmed Sydney though? They announced it a while ago for pc and pings match that of Sydney. It doesn’t with Singapore. People that live in Sydney getting 30- ping proving it more. Compared to northern and western au being a little closer to Singapore having around 100-.
I know this may sound stupid, but if it is defined as a scam with misleading info, can’t they be taken to court? They listed a chart of servers a while ago and said they will be releasing them, i dont know if they stated platform specific but I don’t think so. And this is a money driving action and in the end people tricked and unable to play the way it’s meant to be played. I have played for 3 years, but new players are screwed with no money’s worth, along with ogs gone now.

How do we know that there's no Xbox server in Sydney?
0 -
We all have 200 ping and are getting foreigners and I have messaged any Australians I have come across to get their opinion and they said their in the ######### too and some are quiting. My western au friend is always getting the foreign server too.
Feel free to ask the devs, but their ignoring this and Im sure I have been seen with my spam attack on peanut.

don't mind him, he literally will defend the devs til he dies, I would recommend contacting steam/xbox/ps and ask for a refund, tell them the game is literally unplayable at this point, and most of the time they will actually listen. people really shouldn't stand for this #########

What you're recommending isn't possible as far as I'm aware, since I don't believe any of the platforms in question grant refunds on games that have been played for more than an hour or two. Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread untruths about me, please and thank you.
3 -
The refund won't happen. Most games you get from Steam, PSN or Xbox has a guaranteed refund if you only play the game for 2 hrs or less and you have to make the request within 2-3 weeks of purchasing. There are some other variables but this is probably not one.

is there a list of servers somewhere? because on the centee of the UK south. coast ive yet to get a green bar. its awful
0 -
Afaik. These are the servers
"US East (Ohio)
US West (N. California)
South America (São Paulo)
EU (London)
EU (Frankfurt)
Asia Pacific (Singapore)
Asia Pacific (Seoul)
Asia Pacific (Tokyo)"
So I have no idea about what is this sidney server you talk about.
Also... isn't xbox still p2p?

Oh boy, you accepted the ToS so you allowed the Servers
4 -
Where’s that source? This is mine https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/87216/status-update-dedicated-servers
also tos shouldn’t cover their аss with lying about releasing it does it?
1 -
Oh should mention Xbox ps4 don’t do refunds like steam and need a huge excusss as to why, as big as no mans skies old disaster or bigger.
0 -
ToS actually does as I believe it mentions that any change can go into the game you purchased
So this is like updates, patches, DLC, etc
This will however mean they can put Dedicated Servers on, also I don't remember them lying about releasing Dedicated Servers
0 -
He's saying that there aren't any servers in Austrailia.
Also, xbox recently got deticated servers.
0 -
The lie was Sydney’s. Any change can go into the game, but it’s something that’s not put into the game and lied about. I linked their own words about it and pc ps4 has them.

The servers are terrible anyway. It very rarely connects me to the London (EU) server which is the closest to me.
When I do go get London servers I go around 30-60ms but I'm usually on 150-250ms nearly every game I join. Its horrible. (On xbox) I would love for cross play sooner rather than later to maybe help find games on the server with lowest ping for everyone.

If I can play games to escape my own depression and daily existential crises, then Aussies should be able to play to escape fires.

We have servers in Sydney, for all platforms.
The issue you are seeing is caused by something different and impacts all XBOX players, not only AUS.
Players have been reporting high ping and being matched with far away servers on XBOX so we started to investigate. We found that this issue was impacting XBOX players only and, effectively, sending players to the wrong servers, and now we have started working on a fix.
In the meantime, we have deactivated Dedicated Servers for XBOX to prevent the issue from happening while we are working on it.
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for the information to fill us in finally. Completely understandable knowing the context and that it’s a issue. You’re a legend. I assume peanits didn’t know a thing and that’s why he ignored every post. :/

Oops comment deleted. Said thanks so much for the information finally and it’s completely understandable knowing it’s been a issue. You’re a legend. and I assume peanits didn’t know a thing which explains why he ignored every post. :/

I wish this would be valid on the PC version. Players are in crisis because of the dedicated server...
0 -
I’m sorry to hear. I can’t comment on that. While I was kicked off Xbox I haven’t found any issue with pc atm. Now that dedicated are removed for now, I’ll be returning to Xbox for my main saved stuff.

Thanks for the info. I didn't even know the servers were disabled again. I guess that explains the 150 ping every match. Glad to know its not the servers
0 -
On PC there's definitely one in Sydney, but those in places like Perth usually get Southeast Asia as it's ever so slightly better ping
0 -
The original post in this topic is beyond cringeworthy and filled with baseless allegations and histrionics.
Imagine if they simply asked a yes/no question regarding the issue and tagged a dev.
Imagine!

You have no idea what I went through to get a answer and you don’t understand the method used. I started around 7 discussions and totaled around 1k- views with no responses and harassed and stalked peanits for a answer to no avail and had almo tagged along with mods probably breathing down my neck nearby watching. Also one of the first few to point out there’s a problem and the only person to pursue a answer. It wouldn’t be crazy to say I started the server investigation, but that is egotistical and a complete assumption.
also props to authority, if I complained on f13 forums, corrupt mods there ban you for any reason they can get their hands on and me complaining about a problem like this equals a warning or ban for spam and rudeness etc. topics end up deleted and hidden if it makes them look bad. And they break their own rules and even forget them smh. they also make friends with members and if a member doesn’t like you, the mod just sides with them lmao. At least here is better so far, could be wrong.

Man, I strongly recommend you to enjoy this before the dedicated server arrives. In the PC version, we feel as if we are officially threatened by holding a gun in our heads.
You can find plenty of videos like this.

By the way, I would like to note that 98% of the feedback is not generally read. I will not be able to say anything about the moderators, but perhaps I can justify it because the moderators sometimes do their job properly. That's why I quit forum jobs.
But the best suggestion I can give you is to keep calm. Justice will find its place one day. Who knows, maybe months or years later ...

not sure why you would say this is only an xbox issue, this happens on PC as well, just probably less frequent. You can tell the match/ping quality is quite different when you are connected to the east coast server and the west coast. I'd say 1 in 20 matches I'm connected to the west coast server, but i just leave at the lobby.

Oh my goodness there’s a song and it’s not even bad. Thanks for your share.
@geishroy at least 1/20 is better odds then having a bad host in 1/10 games, at least for my region. If it’s more of a problem for others, I suggest starting your own battle for attention. Could change the title name and starting comment to suit the new cause, with dev response and already high views, I’m sure this might be the main source of info and complaints. But i dont know if it’s worth it currently with low odds and some regions are small or weren’t confirmed to have local servers to begin with. If this gets bigger and if it really is a problem, maybe.
@Raven9 I seem to be the one to make my own justice all the time. When the whole f13 thing happened I felt powerless, sad and frustrated. I couldn’t do anything, Like a mountain standing in my way. I could have just left them, but it upsets me knowing their ego is bloated along with god complexes. I could only make myself feel better causing chaos attacking their forum over the course of 2 months with 100 emails and having them shut down pm and disabling all contact to mods and admins for all members. I dont know if it still is.
