I am playing DBD on PS5, and it RUNS LIKE A DREAM 🥰
Thank you BHVR. Thank you!!!
A true, uninterrupted 60fps gaming experience, except for stutters during latency (which I know can’t be helped).
Survivor and Killer work FLAWLESSLY. It’s a dream come true to FINALLY no longer be screwed up by performance dips when about to hit a survivor, and then get totally disorientated.
PS5 version is wonderful.
Thank you ever so much. Blesh.
But wait... where’s Freddy?!?!

See it wasen't that DbD was badly optimised, it was the console that just couldn't handle the raw power dbd is
Forgot the /s

I still need them to fix current gen :( I can't afford any new consoles and probably won't get them for a few years.

They aren't gonna say it but this is what they meant by console optimization. There's no point in getting the game ready for a console generation that's at the end of its lifespan. They were preparing for the next gen the entire time.

What about trophies? Are a lot of them popping?
0 -
Wait what do you mean where's freddy?
You kept your progress from your Ps4 right??
1 -
I disagree. It seems this time round BHVR have optimized the game for next generation consoles.
4 -
Hey, that's great to hear. I'm a little jealous that it apparently runs better than on PC, but otherwise still great to hear.
2 -
I wish someone posted a clip on a next gen console. Can't find anything on YouTube.
4 -
Oh God, is there no Freddy because they dont have the license for it like on Switch?
1 -
It still runs at 60 fps? Why don't they increase it? Also increase it on pc w/o having to edit files and risk a ban.
0 -
Lucky you. I don't have the money to be spending it on the new consoles. I'm just hoping they don't forget about the other consoles
9 -
I am with you on that also plus I remember buying the xbox 360 on release and the whole red ring of death wasn't fun lol learnt to wait plus money is tuff atm.
I am very please for you @TheClownIsKing tho I hope you find much enjoyment in the land of dbd running at 60fps. Living the dream remember are struggles lol
🐷💖
Let us know more about the freddy thing please thanking you!
2 -
All progress except trophies. I even still have Freddy’s perks. But he’s gone.
License problems maybe?
5 -
Say what? I've been well north of 100 FPS even before upgrading to my 3080, let alone after.
0 -
Ooofff let's hope not @TheClownIsKing maybe they are tweeking him or something. Glad your having a blast tho!

Oh god thank you. Would not have started the grind again!!!
Still pissed about the no freddy thing....

Here you go: https://youtu.be/WdQvBLcIq5o

Lol, it might be why his kit has been so overloaded, and why they went to the effort they did to make him more popular: “limited time only”
1 -
Thank you! That's looking smooth as butter. Hopefully it will run just as smooth on XB1.
2 -
Yeah, because everyone is rich and only has the best equipment

You're welcome. From what I've seen the game runs well on both the Xbox Series S and X. Here is comparison footage between the Series S and PlayStation 4: https://youtu.be/GHWNiJFfgfQ

I’ve seen the post from some poor unfortunate Xbox Series S/X users that their DBD keeps crashing.
Had me worried. I’m very glad that isn’t happening on PS5. Hope they Xbox Series S/X version gets fixed soon.
With how gorgeous this runs on PS5, I’m extra excited for the new chapter. Might have renewed my interest in Blight too.
Shame that Freddy is removed. I’m gonna guess if I play survivor, MM will prevent me from being matched with Freddy players? Coz how would the model be rendered?
1 -
I've heard that DBD is widely inconsistent on PC.
I've heard of some people with 1080 TI's struggling to run DBD and then other with 1050's having no problem.
0 -
You will still be able to match up against Freddy with cross-play enabled.
1 -
Still waiting for this after all the engine optimisations, coming up to 2 years now.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/49456/optimization-status-update-road-to-60fps
2 -
except that the game came out 4 years ago, with graphics comparable to games that were out roughly 8 years before that.
5 -
That's not a very good tactic to employ, the next gen is gonna have limited consumers and the current gen still has plenty of life left. I think they're deathslinging themselves in the foot if they dont think there's gonna be a wider audience still on current gens for a while
2 -
Please tell me you are joking about Freddy. I'm in Europe so I have a wait before our PS5 arrives.
0 -
you dont risk getting a ban for increasing the fps from 60 to 120
0 -
I read that if you edit the files you risk an EAC ban and the devs won't do anything about it.
0 -
thats not true. youre only editing game user settings to increase fps and the max fps is capped at 120 even if you have a 144hz display or more.
0 -
OK well if i get banned, I'm holding you accountable!

Wait, so Freddy and Quentin are not on the PS5 version? Of course there is some problem with the license, but they are already in the PS4. Makes no sense that they aren't available in PS5. They will probaly be released after some time, but still...
4 -
One of the reasons PS4 players turned crossplay off was so they didn’t have to face PC players who were at a performance advantage that decimates the playing field.
Guess everyone has to go an get a PS5 early on now, so they can still play DBD and avoid getting brutalized every match.
7 -
I'd assume it's due to licensing issues but since he's coming to Switch he should be on the next-gen consoles too soon™.
0 -
But if the character model isn’t rendered in the PS5 version, how can I verse Freddy?
0 -
Freddy and Quentin are in the game files on the PlayStation 5 version, you just can't play with them on that platform. For example, I play on PlayStation 4 and if I chose Freddy as killer you would be able to play against me as survivor with cross-play enabled.
2 -
Yay! That's awesome to hear and that you're enjoying your experience on PS5!
5 -
There's probably more ps4 players who have cross play on than off , I hopped on my ps4 to play with a buddy yesterday and all the people he would invite had cross play on
0 -
This. I'm really worried current gen is going to be a last thought if anything now that next gen is out.
4 -
Wait.. they didn’t say anywhere that you get less content switching to PS5. No Freddy? Hype levels gone waaaay down
1 -
That’s amazing! I’m so glad that PS5 seems to be our savior.
I do have a couple of questions regarding PS5 DBD:
- Are you using the digital or physical? This is important because physical PS4 copies aren’t eligible for an upgrade and I’d like to know if I can expect to have the same performance as you are (or at least similar to yours).
- Do you really have to earn all your trophies again? I really don’t want to have to go through the hell that was Adept Nurse and Plague. Nurse was hard enough with the old Adept requirements.
1 -
- i had a digital copy of DBD PS4. So i was able to upgrade to the digital PS5 version. Worse case scenario for you is that base game is still relatively cheap, and your account will remember/link any other additional PS4 content you purchased for DBD. Mine linked all previously purchased DLC and cosmetics, AND progress.
- Yeah... despite it linking everything purchased for the PS4 version, the console still recognises DBD PS5 as an entirely separate game. So yep. All trophies were a clean slate. Funny though how upon loading into the game the first time I instantly earned the P1, P2, P3, and P3 50 trophies.
3 -
I’m sure it’s a licensing issue. There’s no other reason for BHVR to remove The Nightmare on Elm Street chapter with how popular Freddy is now, and how sales of that DLC was boosted.
Oddly enough though many of my matches were still in Badham, and map offerings for Badham were still in my inventory, and I still have all of Freddy’s and Quentin’s perks.

Same,just fix the frame drops and i would already be super happy :(
3 -
Still gotta use a controller, also I doubt it.
1 -
The trophies are GONE???
Noooooo,that's BS >:(
1 -
Game stutter is game stutter, and every PC is put together differently. Plus, controllers are only a disadvantage as precision killers.
0 -
I do just fine with a controller, I actually prefer it over mouse and keyboard.

This sucks so hard as a trophy hunter. I hope they change it, since its the same account
