Graphics has been (intentionally?) downgraded
Hey there, so, I've already made some posts but they were not too clear about the problem, so I made the whole comparison and problem discriptions about how the graphics has been downgraded.
The sad thing about it, that nobody really notice this, and I'm 100% sure that it does affect everybody, I have a proof in some screenshots, plus you can watch some streamers, they have it too.
Why do I care about it so much? I like to see good graphics. Also, there is still a bug in game, when survivors doesn't make any noise (falling, or being injured), and they don't have perks for it.
And if you are an old player, you can remember, when gens texture also was pixelated (2016-2019) and it took 3 years just to enable it, I am really afraid of this in current situation.
Right now, it is not fixed on PTB, so it makes me think devs are not aware of this, or they are aware, but then they should officially state this (my opinion-few polygons, better textures, filtering and vfx are not affecting fps so much, so I think its not intended, atleast this things should be affected by graphics settings only). BTW levers are not working too (again).
So there is the link with all screenshots https://imgur.com/a/nsYHAI0
P.S all screenshots of mine was made on ultra settings, tho it doesn't affect anything
P.S.S yellow gens are also bad

well, all the textures you pointed are out are barely important to the flow of the game, and honestly them being downgraded makes the rest of the game run smoother, and also allow for better texturing on the more prominent features of the map.

I'm hoping it's a bug and reported it as such.

Maybe I'm wrong but the new gens feel like they were downgraded texture wise since they were added. Playing on Ultra and they just seem blurry and low res.

Yeah that is literally what I've stated in this post, also notice their 3d model, especially the pistons, plus there is no more smoke after their repair

Yeah they definitely look more polygonal and less rounded. The engine noises I didn't like but everything else I quite liked about the redesign.

I honestly don't care. Whatever the game runs best on, I'll take it.

Check the user setting config file and you’ll see what the resolutions are actually set to. You’re dead right

I knew something felt off, but thought it was in my head. good on you for pointing it out.

Hey man, the contents of your post are whatever but like, can you fix the title??
*Graphics HAVE been downgraded*
Just seeing "graphics has" makes me cringe a little. Lmao

It's not an upgrade at all. So many things look far worse than before. Grass! looks awful! I play on ultra.
^^^^ NEW ^^^^^ OLD

smallest details? the first match I saw on the new MacMillan i noticed how awful the textures were on various objects.. it's not really that small. they look like OG xbox textures in 2020

That’s some nice investigating and work you put into this.
I play on PS4 Pro and noticed the game runs so good with the recent hotfix update. It’s not 60FPS like on PS5 but it’s way better than before. If this is the reason it’s running better then I hope they don’t change it back. Some maps and killers that were laggy to play before are now playable. Again not as good as PS5. But way better than before. I’m hoping to get a PS5 soon mainly for DBD but also for the upcoming releases.

Yeah, obviously for console it's nice to have good perfomance, same goes for low end PC, so that's the reason why this should be affected by graphic settings, but for some reason now it affects only lightning, which is strange and pretty stupid

I've noticed that new boxes from McMillan looks like out of place on the older maps, what's the point of making all textures so blurry?

Hey man can you just fix your title?
"Graphics have been downgraded"
Seeing "graphics has" makes me cringe a little haha

Not much else you can do while on the ground recovering or hanging on the hook/Doing generators with no TR against non stealth killers as survivor.
Also not much else you can do while waiting for survivors to actually leave once they have the exit gates open or when your waiting for the game to end after death hooking the last survivor as killer.

Bit of an overreaction for a few small graphical things if u ask me. You also gotta consdier was this done so that the rest of the graphics could be better without affecting frame rates and peformance?
1 -
Besides 60fps just sticking an SSD in your ps4 would literally booste your performance.

I had a SSD in my older PS4. It did increase performance but mainly for the console. Pressing the home button during game and navigating the menus with the game in the background. Copy times reduced. As far as dead by daylight it wasn’t much of a difference.

I'm on series X now and it's BEAUTIFUL

Yes. Because slightly less graphics make the game so much worse
