I have been playing Nemesis on Ps4 and while it is bad with tons of frame-drops and lag, it was my choice to play killer so that is fine.

I assumed it would be better as survivor but it was actually just as bad. Getting hit by his power literally froze my game for multiple seconds, and there are also huge frame-drops and lag spikes on the survivor side as well, even when not playing against Nemesis. While these issues are present regardless of killer they are magnified by Nemesis being the killer and survivors should not have to suffer poor performance due to the killers selection.

Plz disable him until his issues are resolved.

    Honestly, his balance is fine (coming from someone who plays both killer and survivor equally). It's more or so the performance issues with him physically. (Not power wise). I posted something earlier regarding this, but the game is unplayable going against him AND playing as him

    I play on PS4 and it's bad on both sides. I don't understand how they release a chapter that breaks the game, makes it even worse if you play the new killer and the new map had to be disabled because of issues too...

    I had issues with survivor and as Oni last night. Litterally skips just moments before I m1 a survivor causing me to miss. I had one instance last night in which is skipped, making it seem like he used a mini dead hard, only for him to then use dead hard, looked and felt ridiculous.

    It would be unfair to disable him for the people who bought him.


    While i know its extremly frustrating to play a laggy game like this, i just upgraded to next gen and dont have ANY performance problems and i love playing nemesis. So it would be really unfair if they just take him away from me after i PAID for him.


    If they gave instantly refunds that would be another thing tho, but they wont do that.

    That's weird, there is not a single Fog whisperer playing on console !

    On Xbox One, and thus far he's be fine overall. Sure, there's been some issues, but nothing nearly bad enough to warrant Nemesis being disabled.

    Although I do feel for you, and acknowledge this is a genuine game issue as a lot of people have jad these problems.

    Yeah, even if the poor performance was specific to consoles (it's not), they're the majority of players now so maybe a little more effort should be put into optimisation so that we don't have these problems.

    While I agree it is unfair to the people who bought him, including myself, you shouldnt leave something that is potentially game breaking in circulation because that is also unfair.

    Honestly if this next hotfix does not resolve the issue, I am going to request a full refund for this dlc. Two bug fixes should be enough time to resolve the issues and if they cant fix it they need to refund everyone who requests a refund for at least this dlc.

    Although I agree the game needs fixing around this issue I find him fun to play.

    Yes he needs a bit of buffing, especially to do with his tentacle strike giving sprint burst without injuring and it needs widening a bit and tier 3 needs working on to make it worthwhile to get. Not one shot downs though, that would be too strong.

    Why disable him? Just don't play him!

  • truegod_10

    Because playing against him creates just as many issues. And survivors don't get a choice in who their killer is.

    Getting hit by his power is not freezing your game anymore than any other killer's power. I would just stop playing until they fixed the freezes, and then they won't have to go out of the way to disable an entire killer when a fix is around the corner.
