SWITCH - Visual and Audio Issues in New Update
Visual Issue (pictures attached):
I started the game after downloading the update and installing it on my Switch Lite. I got in a party with my boyfriend, who plays on PS4, and loaded into a game at Crotus Penn Asylum. There was a fog all over the map that looked like badly pixelated triangles that was only showing on my screen. My bf was in the same room and the map looked normal on his screen, no fog. There was no offering to thicken the dark mist. I was playing as Zarina with Iron Will, Dead Hard, Borrowed Time, and Bond. I played some other matches after, all on MacMillan, and did not experience any fog. I have attached two pictures that show the difference of how it appeared for me vs how it appeared for my bf. In the first picture of my Switch, you can see the fog as I am downed. The second picture is from seconds later on my bf's PS4 screen as he came to heal me.
Audio Issue:
This occurred in all of the matches I played in after updating the game. This happened in solo queue and when playing in a duo party with my boyfriend. It was most notable when playing against the Doctor (both matches on MacMillan). When another survivor was shocked by his power, the scream was so loud as if they were next to me, even though they were across the map. Other survivors' screams when hooked were also very loud and sounded incredibly close to me, no matter how far they were. This issue persisted in the other match I played at Crotus Penn Asylum, which was against Deathslinger. While there were no extra screams due to his power, all hooked survivor screams were very loud as if my character were screaming or they were next to me (which they weren't). I again was playing as Zarina with the perks Iron Will, Dead Hard, Borrowed Time, and Bond.

It's so scary lol they literally sound like they're right on top of you!

I have the same issues on my switch!

Same thing on my Switch as well. The fog looks just like bad triangles hovering around, so hard to see - but I don't know if the killer's having the same problem if they aren't on a Switch too
7 -
lol same thing happened on my switch as well i went up against an oni and i could hear him getting stunned across the map sounded like he was breathing down my neck then when he went into fury god my ears were bleeding then when he smacks into stuff oh god lol rip

For me as well. Fog just look like triangles hovering all around the ground. Very hard to see. The sound effects are off as well. The sound it makes - seems like its happening right next to you. OP voted up.

Sucks even more when survivors abuse this by bringing in a Murky Reagent and just hide in the fog the entire time. It is way to thick to see anything

I hate this!!! Mines soooo bad!

There’s always a new gamebreaking bug on switch when there’s an update and I’m tired of it. And this one just happens to appear right before the new event I’m very upset.
4 -
The fog occurred for me on Coldwind, Red Forest, and Gideon Meat Plant too. The sounds are so loud it hurts my ears, but skill check noises are too quiet. Also, I keep hearing random crows like someone is AFK, but there’s no one there and no crows circling.

Yes, the fog is terrible on the switch since the new update , really needs to be fixed , never was like this
5 -
I'm having the same issues. The fog is very pixelated and incredibly hard to see through. Screams from other players are too loud and the skill check sounds are hard to hear. I was turning my sound up to hear the skill check warning but the screams from teammates made my ears bleed.
6 -
The sound balance in overall and on all platforms is all over the place since the patch.
A lot of killer sounds are cut short as well (deathslinger's chuckle as well as his aim (on both sides), huntress' wind up yell etc).
The ambient sound is off as well, and there's now crows that make the AFK sound in such regularity and volume that it's a pain.
And then there's the broken load-in animations on many killers.

Yup this is exactly how it is for me as a switch player. Can't see nothing. Game is unplayable this way. This is every map not just 1.

i know that this isnt the topic but
Why the ######### do you have an switch lite and an switch
0 -
Same issue here!
2 -
I have the same problems on the switch. The screams are extremely loud and you can't lower the volume because the music and heartbeat gets lower too. Also the fog. Some maps are fine, but some have these pyramids and you can't see anything (especially traps) because it's really bright.
My friends on PC and Playstation don't have these problems.

Are Developers actually doing anything to try to fix the major switch issues since update or our they more worried over the PS4 issue. Barely playable on the switch , I know its the smallest of the platforms but we do also put money into your game, we should get same attention as the other platforms, and soon fix . And your support give a generic response , are we going to have to wait a month or two till next update to get a fix
2 -
yea it's definitely a problem. i had my switch full volume so i can hear and i also was playing against a doctor and the scream was so loud i jumped baha. An the pixel blotchy fog is happening also with this new update sadly
2 -
This so needs fixing its a major issue for switch players especially since most people will play with crossplay and it definitely gives the other non-switch uses an unfair advantage since their fog is nowhere near as jarring or hard to see through.
And as for the audio issues, the screams are so loud and the skill check noises are so quiet its really annoying having to juggle the sound.
I really hope the devs fix this major issues as soon as possible!

This fog and audio bug from this past update has really made the game unplayable. I'm relatively new to this game and I don't know how often they fix major issues like this but I hope it's really soon. I can't play with friends because I can't see anything and if we're in discord or I'm on a call, the screaming from far away hooked players is way too loud on my end.
1 -
Yep, can't play this game (or crossplay, at least) as long as this audio and polygon fog bug remains on the Switch version
Image from my perspective as Killer:
Videos from my perspective as survivor:
After encountering this issue on Lery's, I haven't played the game since.

I only have a Switch but one of my friend has both of them and he said that the Lite is more portable and he can easily play with it on the public transport.

Have the same issue with the fog on the Nintendo Switch.
Priority to fix, was kinda unplayable
3 -
I am begging them to fix this. It's practically unplayable right now because you can't see anything through the fog.

Has anyone received any word on this bug? I upvoted and reported it via the support channel but so far have not received any feedback.
1 -
Me neither and if I have seen it correctly, it is still not fixed in the 4.3.1 bugfix patch?
1 -
You would think this would of been priority, the game is currently 40% on the switch. I've held buying it cause of this issue along others.
1 -
This is so bad for new players :(
2 -
Same for me on my switch, the fog and screams are messed up. Hopefully the patch will fix this.
2 -
After some playing it seems Yamaoka and MacMillan are the only maps without this problem. Clearly if two maps are fine it's fixable so why is this game-breaking bug still not gone.
2 -
The fog is also not broken on Springwood. So clearly it must have something to do with the graphic updated maps. But even so, with the newest patch (4.3.1) still not fixing this what seems to be relatively simple issue, its very very frustrating and reflects badly on DBD / Behaviour.
[This issue is *still* not fixed in 4.3.1 patch]
2 -
Thought I'd add some more images to show how bad this fog bug is, especially on swamp for whatever reason.

I'm having the same problem on my Switch, and right before one of the biggest events of the year. Disappointing...
2 -
I haven't seen any indication of BHVR acknowledging this bug, which is scary for us...
3 -
Yep... ;-;
3 -
This! ^^^ This bug has been out for far too long for bhvr to have not even said "we're working on a fix". They have completely disregarded an entire platform for no reason.
5 -
I submitted a support ticket and got this in response..... so evidently they know about it and are "working" on a fix. However their radio silence in any public forum confirms that they simply do not care and it is not a priority for them. As much as I love being able to play on Switch, they really shouldn't even offer the game on Switch if they clearly don't care about their Switch players and can't be bothered to keep the game playable.
4 -
the fact that it’s almost been 2 weeks since these bugs appeared and they still haven’t been fixed is very frustrating
2 -
worst part about it all is that this game was 40% off on the eshop. The new players that bought the game as their Halloween horror game might have been scared off because of this stupid bug
0 -
This should be resolved - according to the NEW BUG PATCH FIX. Can someone please confirm this? I didn't see the SOUND issue addressed in the patch. Anyone care to confirm please?
0 -
Everyone go download the update. I just played on Coldwind visually and audio-wise it was fine! Thanks BHVR!
(For future reference, BHVR, it would be nice if you guys would’ve said that you were working on it in a stream like you did for PS4 or on the forum).

yeah they fixed it along with the sounds. The video here shows that we can finally see again. And in this same match, the sounds of survivors screaming are no longer in my ear

Nice- Thank you! Thanks BHVR!
